“Several prominent victims’ rights advocates, including a lawyer who specializes in ‘revenge porn’ litigation, accused Ed Henry on Tuesday of ‘slut-shaming’ his alleged rape victim—and worse—with 15 salacious and explicit photos attached to a court filing seeking to dismiss a disturbing sexual-abuse lawsuit against the disgraced former cable-news anchor and his ex-employer, Fox News. ‘That Defendant Henry would double down on his abusive conduct by engaging in this kind of blatant victim shaming is simply abhorrent,’ Michael J. Willemin, attorney for Henry’s accuser, former Fox News reporter/producer Jennifer Eckhart, wrote in a letter Tuesday to U.S. District Judge Ronnie Abrams, who is overseeing the case. ‘[I]t is obvious that Defendant Henry chose to publicly file such personal and intimate images of Eckhart to humiliate and retaliate against her for her decision to speak out against his sexual abuse.'”
“Eckhart, for her part, told The Daily Beast: ‘Rape is rape, and can never be ‘justified’ or ‘excused.’ The fact that Ed Henry, a married man who is 20 years older than me—with a teenage daughter, no less—released images of me to use as his ‘defense’ for violently raping me should tell America everything they need to know about him. My abuser used his position of power at Fox News to try to manipulate and gather what he knew could be used against me as blackmail'” – Daily Beast.
