Rick Saleeby, who is accused of improper conduct related to at least one minor, resigned from CNN before a Project Veritas story on his behavior came out two weeks ago, according to a network representative.

The spokesperson confirmed to TheWrap, “Rick Saleeby does not work for CNN. He resigned from his position more than two weeks ago..”

On Dec. 15, conservative group Project Veritas released alleged text messages and videos in which, they said, Saleeby described sexual fantasies regarding an underage girl. Some of the messages provided by a source are graphic. One features a description of how the teen “was wearing very closely cut bottoms at the pool.”
