Overview

• Andrew Delancey, a former Fox News employee, has filed a lawsuit accusing Justin Wells, Tucker Carlson's former top producer, of sexual assault in 2008.
• The lawsuit alleges that Wells used his status at Fox to prey on Delancey, and that Fox News enabled the abuse and intimidated Delancey into silence.
• Delancey claims that after rejecting Wells' advances, Wells retaliated against him and hindered his career advancement at Fox News.
• Wells' attorney, Harmeet Dhillon, has called the lawsuit 'meritless' and stated that Wells denies the allegations unequivocally.
• The lawsuit was filed just ahead of the deadline for the New York Adult Survivors Act, which temporarily lifted the statute of limitations on complaints of sexual assault.
