Fox News terminates lead news anchor for sexual harassment years after incidents, prestigious roles
Fox News has terminated noted news anchor Ed Henry for sexual misconduct in the workplace, years after the incidents took place, during which time the anchor had continued to receive important job assignments. The network had received a written complaint in 2017 that continuing to give the news anchor prominent roles would damage the news station's efforts to improve the workplace environment, but the anchor's tendency to aggressively pursue younger female staff members had been occurring for years before the complaint was filed. The termination is the latest noteworthy dismissal for the network, coming four years after Fox News chairman Roger Ailes was discharged for sexual harassment.
