Former Fox Sports reporter accuses the best sexual assault executive

By Martha Bellisle Associated Press

A former Fox Sports and Anchor reporter filed a process against the Top Charlie Dixon, saying that he sexually assaulted him after he coaxed to his hotel room to discuss Super Bowl plans in 2016 and was subsequently removed from the workplace for the rear fight.

Julie Stewart-Binks said in his complaint, filed with the upper court of Los Angeles, that she was inspired to speak after a former Hairstylist for Fox Sports filed a trial on January 5, saying that Dixon stuck it.

Andrew Fegyveresi, a fox spokesman, said in an E -mail that the statements were addressed.

“These accusations are over eight years ago,” he said. “At that time, I promptly hired a third party company to investigate and addressed the problem based on their findings.”

Fegyveres did not respond to a request for elaboration of what the investigation found or how their results were addressed.

Associated Press does not generally identify those who say they have been sexually assaulted or subject to abuse unless they have given permission to identify them. Stewart-Binks’ lawyers said he gave AP permission to use his name.

Stewart-Binks covered football and hockey in Canada and moved to Los Angeles in 2013 to join the team at Fox Sports 1, the trial said. She was invited to cover the 2014 Winter Olympics as a host and returned to report on Los Angeles Kings in the NHL, Playoffs in the Stanley Cup and the national football teams for men and women in the US. In the autumn of 2014, he was the main reporter of the edge for Ducks Anaheim.

Jamie Horowitz became president of Fox Sports in May 2015 and hired Dixon two months later to be the Executive Vice President, the trial said. “The two had the power to choose and choose who would be on the room for networks,” the trial said.

During the accumulation to Super Bowl 2016, the plans were in progress for the show “Jason Whitlock’s House Party by the Bay”, and Stewart-Binks was said to appear in the program, the trial said. One night before her meeting with the show team, she received a text from Dixon who asked him to meet him at his hotel, said the trial.

According to the trial, Dixon told him he had to talk about the show and then started to defeat her, saying he didn’t want to go to Super Bowl because he was not “fun, interesting or talented.” He said he is not “able to take care of big moments on TV”, and people will only look if he got on the bar and have taken him from above, “the trial said.

While Stewart-Binks threw himself to come up with an answer that would show her talent, Dixon invited her to his hotel room to see the view from his balcony, said the costume. He agreed, reluctant. But once on the balcony, Dixon pushed him to the wall, fixed his arms, pressed his body against it and tried to force his tongue in his mouth, said the process.

Stewart-Binks was removed and ran out of the room, said the costume. He did not say anything about this at the Super Bowl meeting of the team the next day and was confirmed to appear in the Whitlock show. However, he said he had to face Ron Gronkowski in New England Patriots, about Ron Gronkowski about his left at a college stripper.

She resisted the idea of ​​asking for her “Magic Mike” movements, but after Dixon’s comments before, she wanted to prove it could be fun, so she asked for a dance in the lap, the trial said.

Stewart-Binks said he had faced an immediate reaction to social networks from people who said he brought back women back through his actions.

“Following Fox’s direction, Stewart-Binks remained silent, although Dixon’s assault and the press portrait about it had a deep emotional effect and left it in tears much of time,” the trial said.

She made public only after seeing the process filed by the former hairstylist Fox who made similar claims. Stewart-Binks’s process requires unspecified damage for emotional suffering and requests that Fox be forced to take measures to prevent any current or future sexual abuse.

“Miss. Stewart-Binks hopes that, looking for justice and, doing this public, sports networks will recognize the need to get rid of those who abuse power and those who protect them,” the process said.

Since leaving Fox Sports, Stewart-Binks has worked for many media, including ESPN, CBS Sports, NBC Sports and TNT. He was also a correspondent for CBC in Canada during his coverage at the Paris Olympics in 2024.
