Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries and his associates, Matthew Smith and James Jacobson, have been arrested on charges of sex trafficking and interstate prostitution. The indictment alleges they operated an international sex trafficking ring from 2008 to 2015, recruiting young men under false pretenses for sex events around the world. Prosecutors claim the trio used force, fraud, and coercion, and sometimes drugged the victims, promising modeling opportunities as a lure. The case, described as one of the most organized sex trafficking operations in U.S. history, involved victims who were often Abercrombie employees or aspiring models. The arrests come after years of allegations and highlight the abuse of power by influential individuals in exploiting vulnerable people. Jeffries, Smith, and Jacobson face life imprisonment if convicted on the sex trafficking charge.
