Ed Henry has been fired by Fox News. In a memo sent to staff by Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott and Fox News Media President and Executive Editor Jay Wallace, the network announced that the 48-year-old co-anchor of America’s Newsroom has been fired following a complaint of “willful sexual misconduct in the workplace.”

The alleged misconduct took place “years ago,” according to the memo.

After receiving the complaint on June 25, the network says they hired an outside law firm to investigate the matter. The same day, Henry was suspended and “removed from his on-air responsibilities pending the investigation,” the memo says.

Per the memo, Henry, who joined Fox News in 2011, was later fired based on “investigative findings.”

As a result of Henry’s firing, rotating anchors will fill his spot on America’s Newsroom alongside Sandra Smith until a new, permanent co-anchor is named, the network says.

360aproko has reached out to Henry for comment.

Back in 2016, Henry, then Fox News’ White House correspondent, was off the air for four months after reports broke that he cheated on his wife with a Las Vegas hostess. After the report, Fox News said the network is “aware of Ed’s personal issues” and he will be “taking some time off to work things out.”

At the time of Henry’s 2016 return, Fox confirmed to CNNMoney that Henry would return to the network under the title of chief national correspondent.
