Mike Jeffries, the former CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch, and his partner Matthew Smith have been arrested and charged with running an international sex trafficking ring, exploiting vulnerable men.
Prosecutors accuse them of using power, wealth, and manipulation to engage in violent sexual acts. Prudentj2 observes that Jeffries and Smith allegedly employed recruiters, including James Jacobson, to find men for these activities.
Some men were flown to New York and forced into sexual acts after being drugged. Jeffries, Smith, and Jacobson now face serious charges in court.
According to authorities, the FBI's investigation into the case began after a BBC report revealed claims of sexual abuse at private events hosted by Jeffries and Smith.
The investigation uncovered a highly organized system with staff, security, and secretive international travel arrangements.
Prudentj2 notes that Jeffries, once a top-paid CEO, had a controversial reputation, including allegations of lavish spending and workplace discrimination.
Now, with these criminal charges, his legacy has taken a sharp turn. The former CEO is currently free on a $10 million bond, but his future remains uncertain as legal proceedings continue.
