Big League Politics: Man Anonymously Accuses CNN-Curious FoxNews Host Shep Smith of Sexually Assaulting Him While He Was Asleep in 2004

It's an anonymous allegation from 15 years ago.

Not sure what to make of it. Audio of his claim at the link; here are some transcripted parts.

"I wake up, and Shepard is on top of me, like, in a towel or a bathrobe. And he's got his tongue down my throat and his hands all over me. Completely uninvited. I mean, I gave him no signal. There was nothing," John Doe #1 says in the interview -- excerpts of which are presented in audio form above.

..

"I pushed him off. I was like, 'Dude what are you doing?' And he's like, 'what you don't like it?' There was like this, kind of like No!, and he kept going, he kept pushing. Like, pushing his hands on all these spots," John Doe #1 said.

"He was just on top of me," John Doe #1 said, calling the experience "definitely shocking." John Doe #1 noted that "he finally stopped, but it took a lot of -- it wasn't just an immediate no, and then everything was like, so sorry."

John Doe #1 said that Shep Smith lunged at him "three or four more times" after the initial attack.

Fox News has not responded to a request for comment. The claimant did not provide any outside corroborating evidence, or at least Big League Politics doesn't note any.

I don't know how far we want to go down the #MeToo rabbit-hole with dated allegations.

Though... of course you know my rooting interest here.

Big League Politics previously brought us the scoop about Ralph Northam's blackface, so they're not unreliable. I just don't know if this guy has anything to back up his word apart from his word.
