Popular New York TV anchor Greg Kelly -- a decorated war vet and the son of the city’s powerful police commissioner -- will not be charged with rape, Breaking Celebrity News is reporting.
Manhattan prosecutors late Tuesday cleared Kelly after a 28-year-old paralegal recently came forward and claimed that he raped her last October, causing her to become pregnant.
In a statement released Tuesday night, Kelly -- who anchors the morning show on Fox 5’s Good Day New York -- expressed his gratitude and said he looks forward to returning to the anchor desk.
"I am thankful that the investigation established what I've known all along, that I am innocent of the allegations that were waged against me,” he said.
“I am so blessed to have a wonderful family and friends whose support for me never wavered.
“My lawyer Andrew Lankler and advisor Ken Sunshine were invaluable during this process.
“Thank you to the thousands of Good Day New York viewers who expressed positive support through social media.
“And I am grateful to everyone at Fox 5, especially Rosanna Scotto, my co-host. I will always remember her kindness, and I look forward to soon resuming my post on Good Day New York next to her.”
