Fox News analyst accused of forcing waiter into performing “bizarre sex act” and raping another man

By · 14 comments

Retired judge and FOX News analyst Andrew Napolitano was just slapped with not one but two lawsuits from two different men accusing him “forcible sodomy” and other sex crimes.

The first lawsuit was filed two weeks ago by a man named Charles Corbishley who alleges the 70-year-old Libertarian raped him in the late ’80s, around the time he appeared as a defendant in Napolitano’s court.

Corbishley was facing arson charges in November 1987 when his case was transferred to Napolitano’s court after his attorney became ensnared in money laundering and prostitution scandal.

In 1988, Corbishley’s attorney encouraged him to meet with Napolitano at his private residence in New Jersey.

NorthJersey.com reports:

In the suit, Corbishley, who was 20 at the time, said he was told to bring a snow shovel and a Christmas card and when he got there, he was told to shovel the driveway which he found “peculiar because the driveway already had been shoveled.”

He said in the lawsuit that Napolitano came outside dressed in a long trench coat and made small talk before saying “you know, you could be going away for a long time.”

According to the suit, Napolitano pushed Corbishley to his knees and told him to “be a good boy.” The lawsuit states: “Charles Corbishley was then forced to perform fellatio on the Honorable Andrew Napolitano, the presiding Justice on his criminal case.”

Corbishley said that he wanted to stop but was “terrified about what Judge Napolitano would do to him if he resisted or fought back.”

Napolitano quickly filed a countersuit against Corbishley, denying the allegations and accusing him of defamation.

Then this week, he was hit with another lawsuit. This time from a waiter named James Kruzelnick, who is seeking $15 million in damages from Napolitano after he says he suffered coercion and sexual abuse between 2014 and 2017.

According to Kruzelnick, he first met Napolitano at the restaurant where he was working. Napolitano would regularly request to be seated in Kruzelnick’s section. Eventually, the two struck up a friendship.

One day, Napolitano allegedly followed Kruzelnick into the bathroom and groped him then said, “You are just so hot.”

The lawsuit states:

Plaintiff was shocked by Napolitano’s actions, as the two men did not know each other and had never been together outside of the restaurant prior to that night. Plaintiff immediately pushed defendant Napolitano off of him, and told him that he shouldn’t do things like that in a public place, and that he shouldn’t touch him like that again. Plaintiff had no interest in Napolitano, who was 20 years older than him, and who was more of a father figure than anything else.

Another time, Kruzelnick claims Napolitano invited him over to his home to help with a legal matter. During the visit, he says the retired judge coerced him into performing “bizarre” sex acts that he wasn’t comfortable doing.

The lawsuit states:

As defendant Napolitano entered the living room, Plaintiff observed that Napolitano’s pants were down, and his penis was fully erect and exposed. Plaintiff was truly shocked by Napolitano’s conduct, and didn’t know how to react. Before Plaintiff could say anything, Napolitano said “I am really into certain things” and “I want you to do something for me.”

Thereafter, defendant Napolitano walked up to Plaintiff’s chair, and suddenly threw himself onto Plaintiff’s lap. Napolitano then told Plaintiff that “I want you to start slapping me really hard.” Before Plaintiff could say anything in response, defendant Andrew Napolitano then demanded that James Kruzelnick spank his exposed buttocks while Napolitano masturbated on his lap.

Plaintiff was repelled by Napolitano’s request and had no interest in playing this bizarre “sex game.” But when Plaintiff told Napolitano that he did not want to spank him, Napolitano shouted at him: “Just f*cking do it!”

James Kruzelnick began spanking Andrew Napolitano on his buttocks while Napolitano masturbated. Napolitano then demanded that James Kruzelnick call him “son” while Plaintiff played the role of “daddy” and spanked Napolitano. Thereafter, Andrew Napolitano ejaculated onto one of Plaintiff James Kruzelnick’s shoes, leaving Plaintiff feeling disgusted.

Kruzelnick says he felt obligated to go along with it because Napolitano was helping both him and his brother on a legal matter, but that the encounter left him with “severe and permanent emotional distress.”

“While Plaintiff felt humiliated, degraded and abused by Napolitano, he also felt that he was powerless to stop the abuse,” the lawsuit states. “If he refused to do what Napolitano wanted him to do, then Napolitano would refuse to help.”

Napolitano has denied all of the accusations through his lawyer.
