Fox News presenter probed over lewd images

- By MARGARET NEIGHBOUR

US television network Fox News has suspended one of its top presenters , who has been accused of sending lewd photograph­s to three female colleagues.

Eric Bolling allegedly sent the messages several years ago and the station has launched an investigat­ion.

His lawyer, Michael Bowe, said the claims were “untrue and terribly unfair”. He said: “We intend to fully co-operate with the investigat­ion so it can be concluded and Eric can return to work as quickly as possible.”

The right-wing network has been hit by several high-profile harassment cases recently. Bill O’reilly was dropped in April following reports five women had received £10m in payouts because of his behaviour and Roger Ailes resigned as chair following accusation­s of harassment by female employees.
