The Wife of Former CNN Producer is Trying to Protect Assets

The wife of former CNN producer John Griffin, who is charged with enticing young girls to his home so he could sexually assault them, is asking a judge to protect her husband’s assets so that she can take them in a divorce.

In a motion filed in Superior Court in Bridgeport, Allyson Griffin sought to intervene in a lawsuit filed against John Griffin by one of his alleged victims in an effort to “protect her interests.”

The Stamford Advocate reports that Allyson Griffin recently filed for divorce from her husband in Stamford Superior Court. According to her motion, she is concerned that the plaintiff in the lawsuit will be seeking the same assets from her husband as she is seeking in her divorce action.

A hearing on her motion has been scheduled for April 7.

“The Griffin family matters should be kept as private as possible,” said Allyson Griffin’s lawyer, Gary Cohen. He declined further comment.

“Mrs. Griffin is apparently seeking to participate in our efforts to restrain and attach John Griffin’s assets. Regardless of who is involved we will make certain that Griffin never has cash available to molest another child,” said Attorney Joel Faxon, who is suing John Griffin on behalf of a 9-year-old girl who claims she was sexually assaulted by him.

Griffin’s lawyer, Robert Berke, declined comment.
