A former New Jersey man claims he was sexually assaulted by celebrity Judge Andrew Napolitano in exchange for a lenient sentence in an arson case in the 1980s, according to a bombshell lawsuit filed Friday.

The alleged victim, Charles Corbishley, also alleges the judge tried to block him from filing the suit in Manhattan federal court by lodging false police reports against him, the suit states.

In a statement, Fox News, where Napolitano works as senior judicial analyst, said the judge will fight the allegations in court.

“Judge Napolitano has assured us in the strongest possible terms that these allegations are false and he will fight them aggressively in court,” the network said.

Corbishley, who now lives in South Carolina, claimed in the suit that the abuse happened after he was indicted for arson in 1987 and retained a corrupt lawyer named Robert Hollis.

Hollis, who was later indicted for running a multi-million dollar prostitution scheme, got Corbishley’s case transferred to Napolitano’s courtroom, who he called “a friend,” according to the suit.

After the case was transferred, the lawyer allegedly set up a meeting between Corbishley, who was 20 at the time, and Napolitano at a house in Hackensack in 1988, the suit states.

The Judge has come out strong against Trump on several things, and then it seemed like he was pushing back against some of these protests and COVID restrictions. He always struck me more of a Libertarian than a Conservative. Anyway, it’s probably just a coincidence that this comes out after the Judge seemed to veer back to the right a bit.
