CNN Fires Producer

Over the weekend, FTVLive told you that CNN Senior Producer John Griffin was arrested by FBI agents after a federal grand jury in Vermont charged him with three counts of attempting to entice minors to engage in unlawful sexual activity.

The counts allege that Griffin used a 'facility of interstate commerce to abuse underage girls.'

After his arrest, CNN issued s statement saying that they had suspended Griffin “pending investigation.”

Well, it appears that the CNN “investigation” is complete and Griffin has now been fired by the Jeff Zucker run network.

In June 2020, prosecutors said, Griffin offered a trip to a woman and her 16-year-old daughter to his Vermont ski house for sexual “training” involving the child.

In one of the conversations, Griffin told someone claiming to be a father that he “sexually trained girls as young as 7 years old,” the indictment stated.

If convicted on each federal count, Griffin faces 10 years to life in prison.

BTW_ An interesting footnote to this story, John Griffin is the son of longtime William Morris agent Jim Griffin, who represented Regis Philbin, Geraldo Rivera, and other boldface names.

Jim Griffin was punched out of WMA back in 2009. .
