RadarOnline - News - TV Anchor Greg Kelly Returns To Work Friday After Cleared Of Rape

February 9, 2012

Good Day New York anchorman Greg Kelly, cleared earlier this week on accusations of rape, will return to his chair on the Fox news broadcast on Friday.

The decision was made Wednesday afternoon, and Kelly, 43, told reporters he's "very appreciative of all the positive support [he's] received" as he was leaving the station.

Kelly, a former Marine pilot and the son of New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, had last been seen on the air January 26, two days after a 28-year-old paralegal filed a complaint with authorities, alleging the sexual assault occurred October 8 and caused her to become pregnant.

I wonder if he'll take legal action against the accuser. He did lose several days of work and therefore income, and more importantly, had his name dragged through the mud on an international and highly publicized level--and will continue to wear the brand she recklessly stamped on him for the rest of his life.
