The attorney for a child suing fired CNN producer John Griffin over alleged sexual abuse at his Vermont ski house is now contending his client was the victim of sex trafficking, according to court documents filed this week. The child and her guardian, who are living in Connecticut, claim in the lawsuit filed in January that the girl was forced to commit sex acts while she was at the Vermont ski home. The child was 9 when the incidents allegedly occurred in July 2020, court documents said. He remains in federal custody in Vermont and has been offered a plea deal to consider, court documents said. However, court filings indicate his attorney and federal prosecutors are still examining evidence in the case.
