Chris Cuomo’s CNN producer charged with luring girls for ‘sexual’ training
A veteran CNN producer who worked “shoulder to shoulder” with now disgraced ex-anchor Chris Cuomo has been indicted on charges of luring young girls to his Vermont ski house for “sexual subservience” training.
John Griffin, of Stamford, CT, allegedly used messaging apps to befriend and persuade moms of young girls, telling them “a woman is a woman regardless of her age,” and that he should be the one to “train” their daughters sexually, according to the indictment from the US Attorney of Vermont.
Griffin, 44, allegedly got at least one mom of two daughters to bring the girl to his Ludlow ski getaway, in June 2020.
It was the mom’s responsibility to see that her older daughter, just 13, was “trained properly,” Griffin told her, according to the indictment.
Griffin, a father himself, sent the woman $3,000 for plane tickets so they could fly from Nevada to Boston’s Logan Airport, where he picked them up in his Tesla for the ride to Ludlow, according to court papers.

Advising both Chinese state companies and the Pentagon, McKinsey & Co. comes under scrutiny
McKinsey in recent years has faced accusations of alleged conflicts of interest in its bankruptcy work and other fields.
WASHINGTON — Global consulting giant McKinsey & Co.’s work with both the Pentagon and powerful Chinese state-owned enterprises poses a potential risk to national security that federal agencies can no longer ignore, lawmakers and critics say.
McKinsey’s consulting contracts with the federal government give it an insider’s view of U.S. military planning, intelligence and high-tech weapons programs. But the firm also advises Chinese state-run enterprises that have supported Beijing’s naval buildup in the Pacific and played a key role in China’s efforts to extend its influence around the world, according to an NBC News investigation.
There is no evidence or allegation that McKinsey has damaged U.S. national security, and U.S. authorities have not charged the firm with violating federal contracting laws related to its work with Chinese clients.
But with tensions high between China and the U.S., McKinsey’s business operations in both countries are coming under growing scrutiny. Critics say the firm, the world’s largest consulting company, needs to divulge more details about its work in China, particularly amid concerns in Washington about Beijing’s industrial espionage, arms buildup and intellectual property theft.
Apart from its consulting in China, McKinsey has come under sharp criticism from lawmakers and faced legal challenges over alleged conflicts of interest in other fields.
The company this year agreed to pay $573 million to settle allegations from 49 states that its work for opioid manufacturers helped "turbocharge" sales of the drugs, contributing to a deadly addiction epidemic. At the same time the firm was working for the pharmaceutical companies, McKinsey was advising the Food and Drug Administration on its prescription drug policy, according to court documents.
Asked about its work in China and the United States, McKinsey told NBC News that it abides by U.S. laws on federal contracting and that it has extensive internal rules to prevent conflicts of interest and to protect clients’ information.
“We follow strict protocols, including staffing restrictions and internal firewalls, to avoid conflicts of interest and to protect client confidential information in all of our work. When serving the public sector, we go further: in addition to managing potential staffing conflicts, we are subject to our Government clients’ organizational conflict of interest requirements and comply with these obligations accordingly,” a company spokesperson, Neil Grace, said in an email.
The Pentagon and other federal government agencies rely on McKinsey to carry out often sensitive work touching on national security strategy, cybersecurity and cutting-edge technology, paying the firm hundreds of millions of dollars for its advice and data-crunching.
Since 2008, McKinsey has undertaken over $851 million worth of consultant work for the federal government, with the Defense Department as the top client, generating nearly a third of the firm’s government revenue.
McKinsey has advised senior officials about weapons budgets, the Defense Department’s IT network, modernizing naval shipyards, developing technology for the Space Force and Air Force and evaluating the management of the F-35 fighter jet program.
“I can't see how you could work in the areas they're working in for the Defense Department and at the same time have the extensive connections in China, and not be compromised,” said Marianne Jennings, a professor of legal and ethical studies in business at Arizona State University. “If you just step back objectively, there's a great deal of risk here for the United States.”
In four federal contracts obtained by NBC News, including with the Defense Department and the Navy, McKinsey made no mention of its clients in China or any possible conflict of interest. Under federal law, contractors must disclose any possible conflicts of interest.

Toronto police announce ‘suspect’ caught on video in murders of billionaires Barry and Honey Sherman
Price say investigators have spent four years scouring video taken near the murder scene. This is the only person they cannot identify.
Toronto police want to know the identity of a “suspect” walking near the Sherman home around the time of the murders of billionaire philanthropists Barry and Honey Sherman.
Police on Tuesday released a short video loop of the man walking near the couple’s North York home. Police say he is between five-foot-six and five-foot-nine.
The video was recorded by a home security on the street sometime in the evening hours of Wednesday, Dec. 13, 2017, the night of the murders.
“If you recognize yourself in the video please come forward,” homicide Det. Sgt. Brandon Price told reporters.
The person can be seen walking into a defined area near the Shermans home on Old Colony Road where there is no video coverage, and then leaves the same way. Police would not reveal the timing of the video.
Price asked anyone who recognizes the person to come forward. He also noted the person “kicks up his right heel” as he walks.
Investigators have spent four years scouring video and used special software to identify many people caught on video that day, Price said. This is the only person they cannot identify, said.
He added that police are now classifying this person as a “suspect.”
