Former Fox Sports reporter accuses top executive of sexual assault in lawsuit

• Julie Stewart-Binks filed lawsuit on Friday in Los Angeles
• Former reporter is suing network and exec Charlie Dixon
• Dixon is also co-defendant in separate January complaint

A former Fox Sports reporter and anchor filed a lawsuit Friday against the network and top executive Charlie Dixon, saying he sexually assaulted her after coaxing her up to his hotel room to discuss Super Bowl plans in 2016 and was later pushed out of her job for fighting back.

Julie Stewart-Binks said in her complaint, filed in Los Angeles county superior court, that she was inspired to speak up after a former hairstylist for Fox Sports filed a lawsuit on 5 January saying a former host had made repeated unwanted sexual advances toward her and that Dixon had groped her.
