John Griffin, who worked on the CNN show New Day, was charged with three counts that he used a 'facility of interstate commerce to abuse underage girls.'
A Vermont grand jury indicted 44-year-old Griffin, from Stamford, Connecticut of attempting to entice the girls to engage in sexual activity...
In June 2020, Griffin told a mom of two girls, aged 9 and 13 that she needed to have her daughters 'trained properly.'
Griffin is alleged to have sent her $3,000 in order to pay for plane tickets so that she could travel with her daughters from Nevada to Boston, according to the
indictment.
After the trio flew to Boston, Griffin collected them at the airport before driving them to his home in Ludlow, Vermont.
Prosecutors say the girl was forced to engage in illegal sexual contact...
Griffin began working with CNN in 2013, working on New Day when Chris Cuomo was its host.
His most recently role saw him acting as a producer for CNN senior political analyst John Avlon.
