Disgraced former Fox News anchor Ed Henry’s motion to dismiss allegations that he violated New York’s so-called “revenge porn” statute against his sexual assault accuser was rejected by a federal judge this week.
U.S. District Judge Ronnie Abrams also ruled that ex-Fox associate producer Jennifer Eckhart’s accusation of sex trafficking against Henry could continue, though the judge did toss out several counts of retaliation against Henry for filing salacious and “intimate” photos of Eckhart on the public docket.
Weeks after Henry was fired from Fox News in July 2020, following a complaint of “willful sexual misconduct in the workplace,” Eckhart filed a brutal lawsuit alleging the veteran reporter raped her and “performed sadistic acts on her without her consent that left her injured, bruised and battered with bloody wrists.” Henry vehemently denied all claims.
