Former network employee Jennifer Eckhart filed a suit on Monday claiming that Henry 'sexually assaulted her on office property, and raped her at a hotel'
Then-Fox News correspondent Ed Henry attends the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner in Washington on April 27, 2013.Former Fox News employee Jennifer Eckhart filed a lawsuit on Monday in a New York federal court against Fox News and former network anchor Ed Henry, accusing him of raping her.
In a statement on Henry’s behalf, his lawyer Catherine Foti said evidence would show that Eckhart “initiated and completely encouraged a consensual relationship.”In a separate statement, a Fox News spokeswoman said Eckhart and co-plaintiff Cathy Areu, a network guest, can pursue their claims against Henry directly with him, as the network “already took swift action as soon as it learned of Ms. Eckhart’s claims on June 25 and Mr. Henry is no longer employed by the network.
Monday’s complaint alleges the network knew Henry had engaged in sexual misconduct as far back as early 2017. Areu also alleges that Fox News anchors Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson, host Howard Kurtz and political analyst Gianno Caldwell sexually harassed and retaliated against Areu.
