WNYW Anchor Greg Kelly Cleared of Rape Charges

Greg Kelly, the WNYW/Channel 5 Good Day New York co-anchor, and son of NYPD commissioner Ray Kelly, has been cleared of rape by the Manhattan District Attorney’s office.

Kelly said in a statement, “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.”

Kelly’s attorney Andrew Lankler met with Martha Bashford, the chief sex crimes prosecutor for Manhattan D.A. Cyrus Vance Jr.  The allegations against Kelly, it was determined, did not meet the grounds for criminal prosecution.
