A former Fox News staffer has filed a lawsuit against the network and Tucker Carlson's executive producer for sexual assault and alleged the network prevented him from reporting it.
The lawsuit, filed Monday in the Southern District of New York, claimed that Andrew Delancey, a former Regional Producer with Fox News Edge, was sexually assaulted by Tucker Carlson's Senior Executive Producer Justin Wells.

Wells was fired at the same time as Carlson - but now works as a producer on Carlson's new X chat show.
Delancey alleged Wells first made contact with him in 2007 through a Facebook group for Fox News employees when Delancey was working at Fox 13 Tampa Bay and Wells was a producer at Fox 5 NYC .
According to the lawsuit Wells told Delancey he has 'caught his eye,' began sending messages to show he knew powerful people and encourage Delancey to move to New York.
In September 2008, Delancey began his employment at Fox News in New York City where Wells allegedly showered him with gifts.
When Delancey realized his salary was difficult to live on in the Big Apple, he claimed Wells connected him to an interview at a different network and put in a good word for him around Fox.
'Wells was not reserved about reminding Mr. Delancey that he held higher status at the Network and could, in turn, affect Mr. Delancey’s career trajectory,' alleged the lawsuit.
The alleged assault happened one month after Delancey started at Fox News when he was meeting up with Wells to go out with coworkers for a drink.
Delancey claimed Wells invited him inside his apartment for a cocktail before going out.
According to the lawsuit, 'Wells aggressively pushed Mr. Delancey onto his bed

Tucker Carlson producer accused of sexual assault during his time at Fox News
Justin Wells and his staffer?
Or Justin Wells and his husband?
Do you like gladiator movies, joeymaximus?
LOL! Justin Wells is married to a man. Did Tucker attend his wedding? Are these Justin’s bridesmaids?
Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?
I've heard that marcus has a fondness for vacays in Turkish prisons..
“And women aren’t raped”
You idiot. A doctor can tell at a glance when a woman is raped. And most women I assume will not wait 15 years, unless she is accusing Trump. I suppose you automatically believed her even though she could not narrow down the exact year.
And they call Zelensky a homo.
But, Tucker talks tough...so he must be believed.
A pox on all of their houses.
Tucker is so popular that ALL of the major organizations are just dying to have him climb aboard.
He is peddling his tired garbage on Twitter. Along with conspiracy theorists and millennial ‘influencers.’
It must suck to be this far down the rabbit hole that you are incapable of seeing what the rest of the world sees.
Tucker was on the Roseanne Barr podcast last week ranting about UFOs.
My how the mighty have fallen.
Doing get me wrong. I used to listen to Coast to Coast. I love me some UAP talk.
But when it comes to geopolitical stuff, Tucker is in bed with Alex Jones these days.
The sad part is that this forum used to exclude people like Alex Jones for all of his nuttiness.
They are charlatans.

So...he went into the bosses bedroom...?
He said that he knew Wells had a boyfriend already so he expected Wells wouldn’t try to attack him.
