Fox Sports make decision on executive Charlie Dixon after fresh sexual battery lawsuit branded him a 'predator'

Charlie Dixon, the FOX Sports executive who has now been twice accused of sexual battery by two different former employees, has been placed on administrative leave, according to The Athletic. Back in January, former FOX Sports hair stylist Noushin Faraji accused Dixon of groping her at a co-worker's party in 2017. Last week, former FOX Sports reporter Julie Stewart-Binks accused Dixon of asking her to come to his hotel room after a work meeting in 2016, pushing her against a wall, pinning her arms and forcibly kissing her.
The Athletic published Stewart-Binks' allegations last Friday and Dixon did not respond to a request for comment at the time. He also did not respond when The Athletic asked for further comment on Monday. FOX, a defendant in both Stewart-Binks' and Faraji's lawsuits, declined to comment on Dixon's work status to The Athletic. After publishing Stewart-Binks' allegations, FOX Sports said in a statement,' These allegations are from over eight years ago. At the time, we promptly hired a third-party firm to investigate and addressed the matter based on their findings.'.
