#CNN fires pedophile Chris Cuomo producer

A veteran CNN producer who worked “shoulder to shoulder” with ex-anchor Chris Cuomo has been fired after it was revealed he bragged about luring girls as young as 7 to his home for “sexual subservience” training, the network confirmed.

John Griffin, 44, was indicted Friday by a federal grand jury in Vermont for attempting to “induce minors to engage in unlawful sexual activity,” according to the Justice Department. CNN announced his suspension that same day.

“The charges against Mr. Griffin are deeply disturbing. We learned of his arrest Friday afternoon and terminated his employment Monday,” a CNN spokesperson told The Post.

Griffin is facing a mandatory minimum of 10 years on each of the three counts.

The former “New Day” producer bragged on LinkedIn about working “shoulder-to-shoulder with lead anchor Chris Cuomo, seeing him through each show and producing live breaking news across the country and around the world.”

According to court docs, Griffin, of Stamford, Connecticut, attempted to lure at least four girls, ages 16, 14, 13 and 9, to his Vermont ski house for “training sessions” on such things as “spanking” and “c–k worship,” reportedly saying a “woman is a woman regardless of her age.”

Griffin allegedly “advised” a mother of 9 and 13-year-old daughters that she needed to ensure her girls were “trained properly,” the DOJ said. He then gave the mother, Heather Carriker, $3,000 so she and the 9-year-old could fly from their home in Henderson, Nevada, to Boston in July 2020. There, Griffin picked up the two in his Tesla and drove them to his house in Vermont. During the visit, “the daughter was directed to engage in, and did engage in, unlawful sexual activity,” the DOJ said, that Carriker, 48, was also a part of.

The mother was arrested in August 2020 and charged with two counts of child abuse, two counts of sexual assault against a child under 14 and one count of lewdness with a minor under 14, according to a CBS Las Vegas affiliate.

Carriker told authorities she brought several sex toys with her on the trip, court records obtained by VTDigger, a local Vermont news site, show.

Police in Nevada first learned of incidents after someone came across text messages on the woman’s phone, the Las Vegas Review Journal said. While on the trip, Carriker allegedly engaged in BDSM and forced her daughter to join, according to the paper. She apparently told police her daughter took pictures of her “to document the progress of bruising (Carriker) received during consensual play with her boyfriend,” according to the arrest report.

Griffin also used Kik and Google Hangout to try to entice two other kids into sexual activity, the indictment said. In April 2020, Griffin allegedly suggested a “virtual training session” over a video chat where he could instruct a mother and her 14-year-old daughter to remove their clothes and touch each other.

Feds want Griffin to forfeit his home and his Tesla, among other possessions, that he used to allegedly carry out the crimes.
