Ex-Abercrombie CEO Faces FBI Probe Amid Shocking Sex Exploitation Allegations
The FBI has launched an investigation following BBC’s exposé on former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO, Mike Jeffries. Reports reveal claims of sexual exploitation and abuse of men at global events hosted by Jeffries and his partner, Matthew Smith.
The FBI, focusing on sex crimes, is now interviewing witnesses and issuing subpoenas. A civil lawsuit suggests the duo ran a sex-trafficking operation, with over 100 men allegedly abused.
Abercrombie & Fitch, appalled by the allegations, suspended Jeffries’ retirement payments. The BBC documentary uncovered a disturbing operation, implicating recruiters and a middleman.
Jeffries’ lawyer declined to comment on the ongoing investigations and lawsuit.
