Fox News is a hot mess. It seems as though we are hearing about scandals more and more frequently about Fox and their employees.
Now one of their former Miami correspondents, Orlando Salinas, was booked to the Montgomery County jail in Virginia on charges of rape and forcible sodomy. This arrest is in connection with a sexual assault of a woman on January 11 of this year.
Salinas is both a husband and father and the woman he assaulted is not his wife.
According to the reports, the rape was due to force, threat, and intimidation against her will. Salinas is currently being held without bail, and both charges are felonies.
In 2012, Salinas left Fox News after 12 years of employment, furious because he didn’t want to wear a suit and tie to work every day, and got into a heated argument with his bosses.
Salinas then began working the CBS affiliate station, WDBJ, but his contract expired and went unrenewed. Salinas has been working as a real estate agent ever since. After this arrest, though, it is unlikely he will still hold a valid real estate license much longer, based on the agency’s conduct requirements.
Salinas once admitted in an interview that he was “annoying” and that his personality “didn’t always sit well” with others–an explanation as to why he didn’t get along too well with his former bosses at Fox.
What he failed to mention, though, was that he is also psycho enough to violently rape an innocent woman.
It’s been a rough go for Fox News lately… Maybe they should start hiring some better employees.
In the meantime, I hope Orlando Salinas is getting himself comfortable in that jail cell – looks like he is going to be there for a while.
