Pervert EX-CNN Producer Settles Case

You may remember that former CNN Producer John Griffin, who was sentenced to 19 and half years in prison for luring a 9-year-old girl into illegal sexual acts.

This week, the pervert agreed to settle a lawsuit brought on behalf of the girl.

Griffin agreed to settle the case as it was being prepared for trial in Superior Court in Bridgeport.

“John Griffin is glad to put the federal criminal case and state court civil case behind him,” said his lawyer, Robert Berke.

Details of the settlement were not disclosed. According to court documents, Griffin had previously agreed to put aside an undisclosed sum of money in the eventuality that he lost the civil case.

“The case is resolved. Due to confidentiality, I’m unable to discuss details,” said Joel Faxon, the lawyer for the now 11-year-old girl.

Griffin was sentenced to prison followed by an additional 15 years of supervised release in U.S. District Court in Vermont after he pleaded guilty to using interstate commerce to entice and coerce the girl to engage in sexual activity at his Vermont ski house.

According to the federal indictment, in 2019, Griffin maintained an Internet site in which he espoused a belief that woman are sexually subservient and he sought parents who would allow him to train their minor daughters to be sexually submissive.

“Mr. Griffin preyed on a vulnerable woman and her child, using his wealth to lure them to his home to manipulate and sexually exploit them,” said Janeen DiGuiseppi, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Albany Field Office.
