Fox News anchor Ed Henry enticed her into violent nonconsensual S&M sex acts under the guise of advancing her career at the cable news network.

Jennifer Eckhart, who worked as an associate producer on Fox News Media's Fox Business Network, is suing Henry for sexual assault. Fox News was named in the suit, as Eckhart claimed the network failed to take action.

A federal judge dismissed claims made against Fox News Channel in a lurid assault case that involved a former associate producer and a former correspondent, noting that management of the cable-news outlet had no knowledge of any conflict or relationship between the two parties until it was notified she had levied sexual harassment claims against

A federal judge found that the network didn't know about the alleged sexual misconduct until Jennifer Eckhart was terminated in 2020. Henry will face a trial scheduled to start in May.
