CNN confirmed it has fired John Griffin, a long-time staffer producer who was indicted last week under the charges he tried to lure minors for sex.

“The charges against Mr. Griffin are deeply disturbing. We learned of his arrest Friday afternoon and terminated his employment today,” a CNN spokesperson told Fox News and the Hearst Connecticut Media Group. CNN had not returned a request for comment on Tuesday.
