A former CNN producer who reached a plea deal with federal prosecutors for sexually abusing a nine-year-old girl has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.
John Griffin of Stamford, Connecticut, pleaded guilty last year to charges of using interstate commerce to entice and coerce the girl to engage in sexual activity at his Vermont ski house. As part of the 2022 plea deal, the government dropped two remaining counts of enticement of a minor against Griffin, 46.
