A federal judge on Monday ordered a CNN producer arrested for allegedly trying to entice young girls to engage in sexual activity detained.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert Spector issued the order, finding that there was “a rebuttable presumption” that no condition or combination of conditions would reasonably assure the appearance of John Griffin in court in the future if he were released.
