Longtime CNN producer John Griffin on Wednesday pleaded not guilty to child sex trafficking charges during his arraignment in a U.S. District Court in Vermont.
Griffin, 44, pleaded not guilty to three counts of child sex trafficking and faces anywhere from 10 years behind bars to life imprisonment if convicted.
Judge William Sessions III granted Vermont Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Drescher’s motion for Griffin’s pretrial detention. He will be held at a Cheshire County, New Hampshire, prison without bail.
