Ex-'GMA' producer who claims sexual assault by boss vows to appeal legal setback
Kirstyn Crawford, a former “Good Morning America” producer whose sexual assault lawsuit against her then-boss at ABC News got tossed by a New York state Supreme, said she would appeal the decision.
Kirstyn Crawford, a former “Good Morning America” producer whose sexual assault lawsuit against her then-boss at ABC News got tossed by a New York state Supreme Court judge, isn’t giving up, her lawyer said Thursday.
“We do intend on appealing the decision,” attorney Milt Williams, who filed the lawsuit on Crawford’s behalf last year against Michael Corn, said in an email.
The development came a day after Judge Barbara Jaffe dismissed the lawsuit, writing that the three-year statute of limitations on the assault accusation had passed and that Corn’s behavior, “while boorish, ill-advised and inappropriate,” did not “create a hostile work environment.”
Also, Jaffe wrote, “much of the conduct, moreover, was not directed at plaintiff.”
Crawford no longer works for ABC News and was not available for comment, her lawyer said.
