Ed Henry Sex Harassment Case Today Settles Summary Judgment Against Fox to be Appealed

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon

SDNY COURTHOUSE, June 16 – Jennifer Eckhart and Cathy Areu sued Fox News, Ed Henry, Sean Hannity and others. Their cases have since been severed.

 On July 21, 2021 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Ronnie Abrams held an oral argument. Inner City Press live tweeted it, here and below (podcast here)

On September 29, on reconsideration, Judge Abrams ruled that "MOTION for Reconsideration filed by Ed Henry. The Court grants Henry's motion for reconsideration with respect to Plaintiff's retaliation claims, but denies it with respect to the New York Civil Rights Law § 52-b and the hostile work environment statute of limitations arguments. Those claims, together with Plaintiff's claims for sex trafficking pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1591, et seq., and Gender-Motivated Violence pursuant to N.Y.C. Admin. Code § 8-903 (2017), shall proceed against Henry. (Signed by Judge Ronnie Abrams on 9/29/2022)

There were summary judgment arguments on February 11, 2025, in which Harvey Weinstein and Roger Ailes, among others, were cited. Inner City Press live tweeted it here.

Jump cut to June 15-16, when Eckhart's lawyer wrote in that the case against Henry has settled, and that summary judgment for Fox will be appealed.
