Charlie Dixon, the Fox Sports executive who has now been accused twice of sexual aggression by two former different employees, has been put on administrative license, according to The Atlético.
In January, former Fox Sports stylist, Noushin Faraji, accused Dixon of Grades at a co -workers party in 2017.
Last week, former Fox Sports reporter Julie Stewart-Binks accused Dixon of asking her to come to her hotel room after a working meeting in 2016, pushing her against a wall, holding her arms and kissing her by force .
Athletics published the accusations of Stewart-Binks last Friday and Dixon did not respond to a request for comments at that time. Nor did he respond when Atlético requested more comments on Monday.
Fox, a defendant in the demands of Stewart-Binks and Faraji, refused to comment on Dixon's work at Atlético.
After publishing the accusations of Stewart-Binks, Fox Sports said in a statement: 'These accusations are more than eight years ago. At that time, we quickly hire a third -party company to investigate and address the matter based on their findings'.

The former Fox Sports reporter Julie Stewart-Binks accused Dixon of sexually assaulting her
Dixon was hired by Fox in 2015 and began to climb the corporate ladder on the network, becoming chief of content with Fox Sports and FS1.
Athletics reports that it was expected to participate in the FS1 coverage of Super Bowl Lix this week in New Orleans.
Faraji's demand appoints Fox Corporation and Dixon as defendants, as well as the current host Joy Taylor and former expert Skip Bayless.
Much of Faraji's demand details an alleged matter that Taylor was having with Dixon and a separate one that was supposedly having with the host of Fox, Emmanuel Acho. It also focuses on Bayless, whom Faraji states that he offered $ 1.5 million per sex.
But the part that refers to Dixon is related to a party in 2017, where he alleges that the Executive touched the buttocks.
When Faraji mentioned his alleged sexual harassment complaints about Bayless and Dixon to Taylor, the stylist says Taylor told him “to overcome it.”
Meanwhile, Stewart-Binks accusation focuses solely on Dixon's behavior.
Stewart-Binks, a Canadian who had joined FS1 shortly after the network was founded, was working on the Jason Whitlock program in 2016 before Super Bowl 50.
Much of Faraji's complaint involves Joy Taylor, Skip Bayless and Emmanuel Acho. She states that after presenting the assault concerns of Bayless and Dixon, Taylor said “overcome it.”

Dixon asked Stewart-Binks to meet at a hotel bar in Marina del Rey, California, to discuss the task before reprimanding it and supposedly told him that it was not “fun, interesting or talented” and that “the only way in that someone would see you is if you put yourself on this bar and removed the top.
After the meeting, Dixon invited Stewart-Binks to come to his room, which caused 'alerts' in his mind. But, because he was her boss and she felt that she couldn't say no, she went up.
Once in the room, it is said that Dixon quickly pushed her against the wall and held her arms by her side. With his arms strongly sustained and his body pressed against hers, Dixon tried to force his tongue to his mouth.
Stewart-Binks says he kept his mouth closed, but Dixon ignored her, continued to press against her body and lick her mouth closed. While keeping one of his arms stuck, he moved his other arm to press his upper elbow against the wall towards his body and to his chest.
Stewart-Binks then fled the room and called a friend to explain what happened. But he decided not to reveal to Fox Sports what happened in the midst of fears about his future in the network, particularly since his contract should expire soon.
Stewart-Binks says that he later raised the incident with the Fox Human Resources Department, but the network atrociously took the deliberate decision to protect Dixon and allow a sexual predator to remain an executive in Fox for almost a decade.
Days after the incident, while working at the Whitlock Super Bowl show in San Francisco, Stewart-Binks states that Fox Sports executives encouraged her to participate in a 'viral moment' with Rob Gronkowski, who recently admitted having been a stripper In college.
It is said that the producers encouraged her that the legendary wing of the New England patriots made some 'Magic Mike Moves' and even gave her dollar bills to give him while he acted.

The lawsuit states that Fox Sports executives encouraged her to participate in a 'viral moment' with Rob Gronkowski, who had recently admitted to being Stripper at the University, in the Jason Whitlock show in 2016 in 2016
With a laugh that Whitlock observed, Gronkowski touched Stewart on live television and pushed his body on his face. She was criticized for her role in the trick at that time.
'Ordinarily, Mrs. Stewart-Binks would have considered the implications of such performance. However, just out of Dixon assault, both physical and verbal, Mrs. Stewart-Binks was determined to prove that she was fun and belonged to the new FS1 regime, “says the complaint.
“I had to show Dixon and Fox that he had what was needed to be a fun and interesting personality capable of handling great moments on television.”
A month after the Super Bowl, in March 2016, Stewart-Binks told him that Fox Sports would not give him a new contract.
A year later, in June 2017, a Fox HR official contacted Stewart-Binks regarding an investigation into Jamie Horowitz, another FS1 executive.
While telling them that I had nothing to share about Horowitz, Stewart-Binks informed the Human Resources official about incidents with Dixon. He also gave the names of two Fox employees who had told and corroborated his version of the events.
Fox Sports fired Horowitz in July 2017, but Dixon maintained his work on the network, while the then president of Fox Sports, Eric Shanks, told employees that “all in Fox Sports should act with respect and adhere to the Professional behavior at all times. ” These values are not negotiable.

Stewart-Binks added in the demand that “a frustration stab remained” when he saw the former Fox colleagues prosper while being trapped covering smaller markets.
She continued occupying positions in ESPN and CBC. He now organizes a podcast with former NHL player Nate Thompson and works as a reporter in SNY.
“This was not the life he had imagined for herself,” the demand continued. 'Intrusive thoughts would enter their mind on how different their lives could have been if he had sex with Dixon, but he would close them.
“To face the severe emotional cost of what Dixon had done to him, Mrs. Stewart-Binks sought professional help.”
