A Vermont grand jury indicted 44-year-old Griffin, from Stamford, Connecticut, of attempting to entice the girls to engage in sexual activity. In his most recent role, he was a producer for CNN senior political analyst John Avlon. In the communications, Griffin is said to have tried to persuade parents to let him train their daughters to be sexually submissive toward men. In June 2020, Griffin told a mom of two girls, aged 9 and 13 that she needed to have her daughters 'trained properly.' In April 2020, Griffin coordinated a 'virtual training session' in which he instructed a woman and her 14-year-old daughter to remove their clothes during a video chat.
