Tucker Carlson’s top producer, who left Fox News along with the far-right host to work on his X show, is accused of sexually assaulting a former colleague in an alleged incident that occurred more than a decade ago.
Andrew Delancey, a former Fox News employee, filed a lawsuit against Justin Wells, the former executive producer of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” accusing him of sexual assault and harassment in 2008 when Delancey moved to New York for a job with Fox News’ affiliate video service.
The lawsuit, filed Monday in New York State court before a deadline set under New York’s Adult Survivors Act, also names Fox News and its parent company Fox Corporation as defendants. The law gave survivors a one-year window to bring claims against abusers, setting aside the statute of limitations for civil lawsuits.

The MAGA cult is like a witness protection program for sexual predators

Well, you have to be a fan of not only toxic, but radioactive masculinity in order to believe this MAGA bullshit, so we could just jail all the leaders and figure out their crimes later. I bet wed not have to let anyone go free....
Or, as a German proverb goes: put them in a bag and hit them with a club, you'll never hit the wrong one.

Since they're not news, and their entertainment value is questionable, they should just be known as Fox Sexual Assault Network.

This kind of thing sure seems to have happened quite a bit at Fox. Maybe there seems to be a whole lot of sociopathic predatory behavior among conservatives.
