Title: Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Faces FBI Investigation for Alleged Sexual Exploitation of Men Worldwide
The FBI has launched an investigation into allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse against former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO, Mike Jeffries. According to sources, the investigation focuses on claims that Jeffries hosted events worldwide where men were coerced into engaging in sexual activity.
The investigation, led by federal prosecutors from the Eastern District of New York, has already gathered momentum with interviews and subpoenas being issued to potential witnesses. Agents specializing in sex crimes have been assigned to the case, aiming to thoroughly examine the allegations.
Eight men have bravely come forward, detailing their experiences at events hosted by Jeffries and his British partner between 2009 and 2015. These alleged events took place in New York residences and luxurious hotels in cities like London, Paris, and Marrakesh.
The seriousness of these allegations was further enhanced by evidence uncovered by the BBC. Flight tickets and event itineraries suggest the existence of a highly organized operation involving recruiters and a middleman. These findings indicate a potentially widespread sex trafficking operation orchestrated by Jeffries and his partner.
Abercrombie & Fitch, upon learning of the accusations, expressed shock and disgust. As a result, a significant portion of Jeffries’ retirement payments has been suspended amidst ongoing investigations.
The situation worsened for Abercrombie & Fitch as a civil lawsuit was filed, accusing the company of funding the alleged sex trafficking operation. The suit claims that over 100 men were sexually abused by Jeffries during his tenure as CEO. It suggests that young men were manipulated with the promise of modeling opportunities within the brand.
Despite these serious allegations, Jeffries’ attorney has declined to comment, while his partner has remained silent in response to the BBC’s reports.
The investigation remains ongoing, with the authorities urging anyone with information to come forward to the BBC or law enforcement. The FBI and federal prosecutors are determined to bring justice to all victims involved while exposing the truth behind these alarming accusations that have shaken the fashion industry.
