THE HAGUE (Reuters) - The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan, has stepped down temporarily as a probe into his alleged sexual misconduct by United Nations investigators nears its end, court sources told Reuters on Friday.

A statement was expected later Friday announcing that Khan was going on administrative leave, one source in the prosecutor's office said.
