Former Abercrombie CEO arrested amid sex trafficking investigation
Authorities investigate allegations Mike Jeffries and others sexually exploited and abused young men at parties
The former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries was arrested on Tuesday as part of a criminal sex trafficking investigation by federal prosecutors, the FBI in Brooklyn and the New York police department have announced.
Authorities allege that Jeffries, his British partner Matthew Smith and a third man, Jim Jacobson, ran an “international sex trafficking organization” that coerced “dozens and dozens” of men into sexual acts, often for the promise of a modeling career with the clothing retailer.
