Even more disturbing reading can be found in a complaint, filed on Monday in New York federal court, by former Fox News producer Jennifer Eckhart. It alleges that Ed Henry, veteran Fox News reporter and host, “performed sadistic acts on her without her consent that left her injured, bruised and battered with bloody wrists.”Henry was let go by the channel on July 1 after an investigation looked into a complaint of “willful sexual misconduct.
CBS News reports that Fox News says it has already concluded Areu’s allegations are “baseless” following an independent investigation. CBS also reports that a lawyer for Ed Henry has issued a statement: “The evidence in this case will demonstrate that Ms. Eckhart initiated and completely encouraged a consensual relationship.”
