Sorry Perry, The Judge Says you Got To (Patreon)

Last week, in a Patron Only story we told you that Nexstar CEO Perry Sook tried to use the Nexstar/Tribune deal as the reason that he was too busy to testify in a lawsuit against WLNS (Lansing) and Nexstar for sexual harassment.

The suit was filed by former WLNS Assignment Editor Cheryl Fritze. Fritze claims in the suit that there were a number of incidents involving employees that she believed constituted sexual harassment.  Fritze claims that she she reported the harassment to managers at Nexstar and even to Nexstar CEO Perry Sook.

Sook said he only met Fritze one time and was not involved in her firing. He also said that the Nexstar/Tribune deal had him so busy, he did not have time to be deposed in the ongoing lawsuit. 

The judge came back and said that Sook needs to find the time.
