Accusations, Accusations Against CNN Producer John Griffin
CNN anchor John Griffin is on edge after being charged with luring young girls to his Vermont ski lodge for “sexual submission” training, the New York Post reports.
According to an indictment from the US Attorney for Vermont, John allegedly used the messaging app to befriend and seduce the mothers of the young girls, telling them that “a woman is a woman regardless of her age” and that he should be the one to “train” their daughter sexually.
It has been alleged that he got at least one mother of two daughters to take the girls on her Ludlow ski holiday, in June 2020. The allegations reveal that John told her it was his responsibility to see his eldest, just 13, “trained properly .”
What’s more, the CNN producer sent the woman $3,000 for a plane ticket so she could fly him to Boston from Nevada. He took them in a Tesla for a trip to Ludlow, court papers reveal. Authorities allege that it was there that “the daughter was directed to engage in, and perform, unlawful sexual activity.”
The indictment also revealed that John also made attempts to attract two other young girls on the internet. He uses apps like Kik and Google Hangouts to communicate with them and lure them into sexual activities. John allegedly proposed a “virtual training session” via video chat in April 2020, where he would urge a mother and her 14-year-old daughter to take off their clothes and touch each other.
Additionally, according to the indictment, John informed another mother of a 16-year-old girl in June 2020 that she should plan a “little mother-daughter trip” to a Ludlow ski chalet for sexual training involving the child.
FBI agents arrested the CNN producer on December 10, 2021. He faces charges of three counts of attempting to entice a minor to engage in illegal sexual activity by a federal grand jury in Vermont.
According to the indictment, the government will seek to seize property used in the alleged offenses, including Griffin’s Ludlow ski lodge, his Tesla, and a Mercedes.
On each charge, Griffin faces a mandatory minimum sentence of ten years in prison.
