Matthew Stafford's wife Kelly's podcast co-host makes aggressive 1st statement on sexual misconduct accusations

Hank Winchester, the co-host of Matthew Stafford's wife Kelly's "The Morning After" podcast, was accused of sexual misconduct by a massage worker in June. His house in Detroit was raided by officials. Due to his legal battles against the accusations, Winchester missed out on his podcasting responsibilities for three months.

Winchester made his comeback on Monday's episode and talked in detail about his controversy. In his first statement after the accusations were brought to light, he expressed dissatisfaction with the police's failure to investigate the accuser.

"There was an allegation that was made against me by someone, and police have a responsibility in these situations to investigate allegations," Winchester said (2:40). "But they should also take the time to investigate the person making the allegations."

Winchester also explained how law enforcement's action against him was reported by a local media, which widely spread. According to him, there was a "very detailed and necessary investigation" that turned out to be a positive factor in his case.

"I say necessary because if it's going to happen," Winchester said. "I want to know that investigators had every opportunity to look at everything they needed to, which they did, and determine that in this case, that allegation was unfounded, it was baseless, it was defamatory."
