It hasn’t been a good month over at CNN, with not one but two of their producers currently facing allegations of sex crimes involving children.
Veteran Chris Cuomo producer John Griffin was arrested earlier this month by the FBI for allegedly soliciting multiple mothers and their minor daughters for sex, and alleged sexual abuse of a 9-year-old girl. Shortly after, Project Veritas released voicemails allegedly showing a second producer, Rick Saleeby, making sexual comments about a woman’s underage daughter. Saleeby, who worked on Jake Tapper’s show, was arrested and police seized his electronics.
According to the Post Millennial:
Confronted by a crew from Project Veritas after appearing in Fairfax County, Virginia court, Saleeby refused to answer as to whether he was still working for CNN. Saleeby was reportedly answering to a protective order placed against him by his former fiancé, who went to Project Veritas with the text messages and voice mails.
When questioned by a Project Veritas reporter outside the courthouse, Saleeby offered no comment, raced to get in his car, and sped away. His attorney, Patrick O’Brien, with Dischley Law, also offered no comment.
According to Fairfax County Police, the police department has launched an investigation into the allegations involving potential juvenile victims.“Detectives assigned to the Child Exploitation Squad of the Major Crimes Bureau are leading the investigation. While we will eventually be transparent about our findings, safeguarding the personal privacy and safety of victims and witnesses as well as maintaining the integrity of our criminal investigation are of paramount importance,” said the police in a statement to Project Veritas. “At this time, we are not in a position to provide additional detail on the scope or nature of this investigation.”
CNN has remained silent on the allegation and investigation.
