New York dropped the case of a producer who accused a former executive producer, Michael Corn. Good morning America! About sexual violence.
Judge Barbara Jaffe ruled Wednesday that the statute of limitations on Kristin Crawford’s allegations has expired. In a lawsuit filed last year, Crawford claimed that Corney assaulted her on her way to Los Angeles for the Academy Awards in February 2015.
Corn, who left ABC News in April 2021, denied the allegations, calling them “apparently false”. He is now president of NewsNation News.
When Jeff was fired (read here), he also denied Crawford’s claim that Egypt has created a hostile work environment since 2015, claiming he was denied promotions and pay raises in retaliation. The judge wrote that the events described by Crawford were “separate and isolated events that, though meaningless, illogical and irrelevant, did not create a hostile work environment, much less than a permanent violation.” Also, much of the behavior was not directed at the plaintiff.
Crawford’s attorney, Milt Williams, said they would appeal.
Crawford’s attorney, Meredith Cavallaro, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But he told the Los Angeles Times, which was the first to report on the impeachment, “We are very grateful that the court has admitted that no charges have been brought against Mr Corn.”
The judge also dismissed a number of lawsuits Crawford brought against ABC News, who were also named defendants. But the judge ordered Crawford’s attorney to file an amended lawsuit, which still has an additional lawsuit against the network. After filing a lawsuit last year, ABC News described Crawford’s claims of revenge as “false”.
