Former Abercrombie CEO Arrested on Sex Charges

Mike Jeffries, the former CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch, has been arrested alongside his partner Matthew Smith and associate Jim Jacobson on charges of sex trafficking and interstate prostitution. Allegations have surfaced that Jeffries exploited young male models by conducting fake job interviews, promising them modeling opportunities, and coercing them into sexual acts at drug-fueled parties between 2008 and 2015. Victims reported being manipulated through threats to their careers and were allegedly subjected to various abuses, including drugging and coercive sexual acts. Jeffries and his partners have denied the allegations but face serious legal consequences as investigations continue. This case marks a significant downfall for Jeffries, who had previously built a controversial legacy at Abercrombie & Fitch, known for its exclusionary marketing strategies. The FBI and prosecutors are expected to provide further details about the case in an upcoming press conference.
