Fox News legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano is being accused in a lawsuit of sexually assaulting a man who faced arson charges in his courtroom in the 1980s.
Napolitano, 70, is being sued in Manhattan federal court for sexual assault, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
He categorically denies all charges.
Law&Crime reports (warning: graphic content):
According to the complaint obtained by Law&Crime, in 1988, Napolitano lured Charles Corbishley to his New Jersey home under false pretenses and forced him to perform oral sex.
At the time, Napolitano was the judge presiding over Corbishley’s case on charges of criminal arson. His lawyer, Robert Hollis, was allegedly a self-described “friend” of Napolitano’s and successfully moved to have the case brought under his purview. Hollis then purportedly arranged for Corbishley to do yard work at Napolitano’s Hackensack residence–presumably in exchange for judicial leniency.
“Mr. Corbishley complied with his attorney’s request, and went to the residence as he had been instructed,” the filing said. “Upon arrival at the residence, Mr. Corbishley rang the doorbell, and Defendant answered the door. Plaintiff then handed over [a] Christmas card to Defendant ANDREW NAPOLITANO and told him that he was there to shovel snow.”
However, the lawsuit alleges there was virtually no snow on the ground. Supposedly not enough worth shoveling.
Unsure what to do, the 20-year-old Corbishley reportedly began smoking a cigarette before eventually following Napolitano inside while the judge made small talk. The filing then describes the moment Corbishley claims Napolitano pounced in explicit detail.
Defendant NAPOLITANO then approached Plaintiff CHARLES CORBISHLEY, and stated “you know, you could be going away for a long time.” As Defendant was speaking to Plaintiff, he proceeded to place his hand on Plaintiff’s shoulder, and forced Plaintiff to his knees. As he pushed Plaintiff down toward the ground, Defendant told Plaintiff to “be a good boy.” At this point, Defendant NAPOLITANO appeared to be masturbating through his clothing, moving his hand back and forth over his penis. Thereafter, Defendant NAPOLITANO pulled his erect penis out. Plaintiff Charles Corbishley was then forced to perform fellatio on the Honorable Andrew Napolitano, the presiding Justice on his criminal case.
Corbishley ultimately received probation and community service.
For the time being at least, Fox News is standing firmly behind Judge Napolitano after the television personality told his employer in the strongest possible terms that he’s innocent of all charges.

Help President Trump Stop Joe Biden [ACT NOW]
These people (the socialist left and their prosecutorial allies) will stop at nothing, dig up falsehoods from decades in the past, to try to destroy anyone that is perceived as conservative. Judge Roy Moore if Alabama comes to mind.
But it also begs the question; if he was charged with criminal arson, why did he just get probation and community service? Seems a little vague..will probably never know the truth!!
Has anyone checked to see if that was the actual sentence?
Lets hear the whole case recording before we make a judgment No one in our days knows the answer.
nobody body knows what happened except them two and God let it play out I am not a democrat but a Trump supporter but do not trust all judges have scene to many people screwed over by them especially years ago saw one judge open records that another judge sealed to let the prosecutor bring them up to convict a boy of selling pot with only the word of dopers because when they served search and arrest warrant om him there was not any dope to be found not even any residue in house or anywhere on property he ended up serving 4 years in prison and 10 on probation
I’m not a fan of him but I don’t believe this.
Fox will never tell the truth…
You mean CNN will never tell the truth?!?!?
Stop with your idiocy of believing CNN, everyone but the complete moron can see they are liars beyond comprehension!
NONE of them tell the “truth”.
Fox sure did not support Bill O’Reilly as well as others who have been accused…….why Napolitano?
Maybe because they were cowards NOT to support Bill O’Reilly and decided to grow a spine? Not every woman is little Bo Peep and I am tired of hearing them complain of sex “assault” AFTER their career is in gear. Nobody but you yourself makes a decision to play that game or not.
At one time I sat on a jury in a trial of a man accused of sexually assaulting a 16 year old girl. My question was: What 36 year old man would take a bottle of champagne over to the home of a 16 year old girl? Unless he had something on his mind and that was getting the girl drunk, which appears to have happened before, and getting into her underwear. It also came out at the trial that the father of the girl worked nights and left his 2 teenage daughters home alone. He was a single father. When it came time for the girls to testify, the 16 yr old came looking almost like little Bo Peep and her sister looked like a street walker. We the jury figured what had actually happened. The girls were known for putting out and the 36 yr old wanted some of it. He was convicted on the basis of Why would a 36 yr old man would want with a 16 yr old girl, that he would brig a bottle of champagne to her house? Any decent 36 yr old man would realize that it was a trap and not go anywhere near it. It was your comment about little Bo Peep that reminded me of that case.
How about,instead,wtf is a 36 yr. old douche bag thinking of drinking w a kid,it gross and he set his own self up!16 year old girls/boys don’t even have a fully developed frontal lobe and so this man was a predictor..
Sexual predators never take the time to check out the frontal lobes of their victims…careless, eh?
They protected O’Reilly to the tune of $32 million. He just became too expensive.
You certainly will never tell the truth!
You mean like the Russian collusion thing you were lied for years on lamestream media?
Simple. Criminal arson can be proscuted as a felony, misdemeanor or simply criminal mischief. We have zero details. How the case is handled depends on the degree of injury, destruction, etc.
Another 40 year old event so I ask him like I ask all the women, why now.
I’m no fan of Napolitano, but this reeks of #ME TOO!
Sorry after all the lefts false allegations of rape no longer able to take accusations seriously. But I assume that is what democrats and libtards want after California vote is to make sexual assault legal as well as pedophilia.
I call BS on any case that wasn’t documented, as in being reported to the police and having a record made of the incident. No record, no case. Its that simple. And it doesn’t matter who the victim/defendant is.
Democrats should have read the story of the Little Boy who lied about the wolf. You lose all your power when you are caught lying over and over and over and…….well, you know how it goes.
If others come out of the woodwork and corroborate such behavior, the Judge will become the judged!
Here in the US, we don’t convict anyone based upon hearsay. If there is a record of the incident, then its factual, if not, then its one man/woman’s opinion against another man/woman.
Except when the main steam media are the judge and executioner
Why have we not heard from the Defendants lawyer — he supposedly set up the tryst — why has he not denied it?
There are several, weird Things here, one the plaintiff lawyer colludingbwothnthe judge, that’s illegal. Then silent for over 30 years. Is the plaintiffs lawyer dead? Conveniently no mention of this lawyers name. Hit pieces always lack logical information and exploit e, optional reaction .
I’m no fan of judge Nappy, but the 80’s? Seriously?
32 YEARS AGO????? And he’s now coming out with this……the Democrats will stop at nothing to destroy ANY conservative who goes against their agenda. It’s time the Dems wised up. Whose going to believe this one………
I agree with you except Napalotania is not a conservative he is a never trumper. Besides that give it the dan Bongino look “wait 24 hrs at least”
All those who watch CNN and “The View”. “Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, smallminds discuss people.”
32 Years “Come On Man” sounds like the Kevin Spacey case. But Kevin has been abandoned by the public. Will this happen to his Honor?
So sick of this shit coming up 30 to 40 years later. If it bothered the guy so bad WHY didn’t he report it then. Oh yah. Didn’t he get a suspended sentence. So he walked. Or possibly had he said anything he would go to jail. Hmmmmmmmmm
KARMA !!!!!!!! Always come to get you.
Where is the blue dress? No proof!
He’s always reminded me of a pedophile pervert! I bet ya he is in Epstein’s circle
More likely, you are.
BOY, IT SEEMS TO NEVER END WITH SEXUAL CHARGES AGAINST PEOPLE YEARS LATER LIKE THIS! SICKENING CRAP! FROM THE 1980’S? BULL CRAP! STATUE OF LIMITATIONS HERE!
IF TRUE a disgusting act,if true I hope that PRK gets LIFE!
Who knew Judge Napolitano rolled that way?
Mr high and mighty Neapolitan? Really? Got upset at our President for not nominating him for the Supreme Court therefore, he became an anti-Trumper attacking our President at every turn. Serves Neapolitan right. Cannot stand the man
That sounds like just another day in Hollywood, is the left angry at this one? Doesn’t sound like assault if it happened it sounds like some guy told this guy to give him a BJ and he did it, of course if it happened. Was Christine Blasey Ford there to corroborate it? Was there a rape train at a party too?
Follow the money, CNN is the only News channel that is currently allowed to project it’s FAKE NEWS Worldwide with the Socialist Brainwashing Agenda!!!
I thought fox had that avenue all tied up on the news no one else could get in but them.
Just another person “doing something” to bring down a good person and make Fox look bad.
Not a fan of the judge at all but men or women who wait 30 to 40 years to say XXX did this have passed the statute of limitations which I believe is 15 years, more than ample time to come forward, if it actually happened. Frankly, at 20 years old, he was old enough to say no and walk away. If his lawyer was complicit, he could have filed for a change of venue as well as filing charges against both and retaining a different lawyer. This far after the fact there is absolutely no evidence and if one were to check the guy’s finances there’s a good chance they would find a new large amount of cash. Look at all the women who came forward about Kavanaugh and then backed off when they found they were going to be questioned under oath by the FBI and that carried a 25 year felony sentence for perjury. A couple admitted being paid $100K each to come forward by that Allred lawyer. The others just dropped charges and walked away. Nappy may or may not have done it but this many years later he probably ticked off the wrong dems and this is what happens. Now Joe Biden’s accuser had something none of these others had. She actually HAD filed charges back when she said he raped her. What good did it do her? None. He’s a dem so he gets a pass and the statute of limitations is over for her. I’m getting pretty sick and tired of dems breaking laws and getting away with it.
Ooh ooh what a good story.
This is all they got.
I passed the third grade and coulda made a better one than this crap.
Anyone who waits for 40 years to make an accusation like this, with no reasonable way to prove or disprove but simply to destroy a person’s reputation, does NOT deserve to be heard.Speak up at the time or shut up.
Ahhh bingo!! There is ALWAYS a reason these high profile people hate Trump or turn on him, it always involves something sorted and disgusting that could come out, pedos, sexual deviants, crimes, etc.
Garbage! While I’m not a real fan of Judge Napolitano, I don’t believe this ever happened. And why wait for 30+ years to bring it out? What’s to be gained from exposing it now?
Has the statute of limitation expired?
Hummm, 1980’s — that’s 30 to 40 years ago. Why on earth do these people wait so long?? I don’t particularly like the judge BUT 40 years??? Sounds kinda fishy to me !!
I call BS on this! I am no fan of Napolitanos but this is ridiculous Bernie Sanders(bullshit)!!
I have never liked him….looks like my instincts were correct.
Lately Andrew has turned to the far left. I don’t doubt this is true. Good riddance.
I think this is a demoncrat set up to push some type of weird agenda
Do I understand correctly that this accusation is from 1988? What exactly is “graphic” molestation? Is that worse than regular molestation? I had a guy rob be in 1986 can I bring that up now? What kind of crazy is this?
Well say ‘Hello’ to your blackmailer – Ex-President Obama.
While I hate the judge I am more sick of these losers coming forward after years of saying nothing. I do also wonder why Fox is standing behind him when there have been others they threw under the bus.
I would not put anything that Napolitano says. He will do anything to get what he wants. I believe that he did force this sexual act on the 20 year oldat the time because he was probably attracted to him. After all look at Napolitano who would want to have consensual sex with this man. He is as guilty as the day is long and should be jailed for his crime. What goes around comes around so they say.
Even some conservatives are perverts!
He’s not a conservative he’s libertarian.
Trump is trying to shut the judge up. Not surprising, Trump has already killed 10s of thousands of Americans by lying to us about Covid 19, what’s besmirching a man’s reputation.
I lost 2 family members my sister and nephew to the Chinese Wuhan Virus. But most democrat states put covid patients in the senior homes killing thousands. I guess senior lives don’t matter to democrats.
Is this America or what!!!!!!!
lol
Well judge, the chickens are coming home to roost..you used your bully pulpit to trash POTUS during the Russian BS. Now it’s your turn. True or not…it bites.
This dirt=bag, hypocrite, judge sounds like something he would try, to get away with,what goes around comes around, Let’s get it out in the open, see the facts.
All democrats are well aware the two things that stick to your reputation like a bad smell are being called a queer or a child molester.
False lies come in avalanches – right before the 2020 election. How convenient. Not buying any of it.
I absolutely have a huge disdain for Eddie Munster! But even I do not believe someone that comes up years later with a questionable allegation against a Conservative. It happens all too often and always around an election year. I’m not buying it! But if Napolitano “settles” this with a pay off, I will change my mind! Just like Bill Oreilly, if he pays the scum, he is guilty. Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson, both were prepared to fight their accusers and “miraculously” they went away, never to be heard from again!
FNC FBN probe issues with Nap remedy or fire.
Prefer Judge Jeannie anyway more fighter type
Yea sure, 30 years ago. BS
I claim BS…anyone make it female making such a claim 40 years later is only trying to get a settlement to just go away…it’s about the Benjamin’s baby it always is!!!
Now don’t come in Fox News .GOOD.
The left doesn’t like that he’s behind Trump again! I wondered why he had switched sides there for awhile. Now I know! Typical leftist move…blackmail!
I think he isn’t swayed one way or another, and obviously is his own man. Looks like if he doesn’t tow the line for the far right conservative movement…he’s doomed. Some conservatives are as bad as liberals in their intolerance. Just because someone doesn’t think exactly like us, that’s a sad reason to discard them. Everyone has good ideas to contribute to the conversation, and it’s extremely healthy to hear all sides. [That used to be what college was for.]
And this 32-year-old charge comes out now? Why? Does it have something to do with the fact that Napolitano is a FOX News personality and that FOX News is favorable to Trump? Remember the Prime Directive: ORANGE MAN BAD!!! Anything that can be used to hurt him (or anyone who supports him) is fair game, whether or not it’s true.
OROBOROS!
UNSURVIVABLE!
NEVER SURVIVE WHEN ONE SEEKS SUSTENANCE THRU EATING ONES OWN BODY STARTING AT THE TAIL!
Statue of limitations work here?
I never cared much for the judge but i don’t believe a word of this. I don’t believe anything i read anymore.
Don’t know about that but he is a lying coward gave up his true belief for a pay check he is now a leftist communist atheists muslim garbage
This stuff makes me want to go for a walk at the ocean and disinfect my brain. Our modern world has so many good things, but slinging around this junk is a weak point. Yep. Time for a walk in the fresh air.
32 years is a long,long,long time
He needs more to back up this story
I remember Paula Jones gave a vivid description of ill’s penis, she said it was curved , and uncircumcised , the reason Bill settled was Paula was going to ask for him to show his dick
i believe the victim not the judge
It seems like Napolitano has made coerced statements in the last year consistent with extortion
