Former Fox Business producer Jennifer Eckhart claims that Henry - who was fired from the network on July 1 after an unnamed employee accused him of sexual misconduct - handcuffed her and raped her in a hotel room in 2017 after trying to coerce her into a sexual relationship.  

The complaint includes a string of WhatsApp messages Henry, 49, allegedly sent to Eckhart in which he calls her his 'little w***e' and refers to their relationship in disturbingly graphic terms. 

'Good long session last time. Left you bruised batter dazed sated begging for more,' he wrote in one message. Another states: 'When u r owned u don't get a choice.'  

Henry's lawyer, Catherine Foti, responded to the lawsuit by saying Eckhart 'initiated and completely encouraged a consensual relationship' with the anchor, who has been married to his wife Shirley since 2010 and has two children from a previous marriage.
