A sexual harassment lawsuit involving a former “Good Morning America” producer has been tossed out of court. According to the New York Post, a state judge dismissed a case against Michael Corn citing a statute of limitations ruling.
The lawsuit was brought by “GMA” producer Kirstyn Crawford, who alleged misconduct while traveling with Corn in Los Angeles during coverage of the Academy Awards. She claimed Corn forcibly touched and kissed Crawford during an Uber trip back to their hotel.
The judge also ruled that the incidents cited in the lawsuit didn’t measure up to sexual harassment or creating a hostile work environment.
“We are very grateful the court recognized the total lack of merit to the allegations brought against Mr. Corn,” Corn’s lawyer Meredith Cavallaro told the Los Angeles Times, which first reported the news.
Corn, who left ABC News in April 2021 because of an internal probe into Crawford’s claims, has denied the allegations. He is now the head of programming for the cable news channel NewsNation.
