CBS potentially liable for Moonves allegations?
Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano on the fallout from the sexual misconduct allegations against former CBS CEO Les Moonves.
Les Moonves is officially out as CEO of CBS after new sexual abuse claims surfaced. Can he be sued by his alleged victims?
“Well generally, yes. I say generally because I don’t know how old these allegations are,” Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano told FOX Business’ Stuart Varney on Monday. “He’s claiming these are 20 and 30 years ago. There is a statute of limitations. It’s two years for injury to the body. It’s six years for financial loss. So if these things happened more than six years ago they are not going to go anywhere with the lawsuit but generally of course he could be sued if within the statute.”

ReplyDeleteNot a lawyer; not at Holiday Inn Express; like the judge.
But CBS will only be potentially liable for his actions while he was employed there, and if statute of limitations hasn't run out on each alleged item.
If they find his actions while an employee were not unlawful, but embarrassing or against company policy, they can fire him under whatever terms his contract contained. Maybe he gets cash; maybe not.
If they are firing him for what he allegedly did before he was hired that they find embarrassing, they may need to write a check, under his contract.
Letterman, Charlie Rose, Moonves - some Tiffany network!
Need to get rid of his wife[Julie Chen] too.}
