According to a consultant for federal prosecutors on Tuesday, Michael Jeffries, the former CEO of Abercrombie &, Fitch, and two others have been detained on suspicion of sex trafficking and federal prostitution.
The details of the legal fees were not immediately made public. These detention come after a number of years-long sexual misconduct allegations made by young people who claimed Jeffries manipulated them by offering them model jobs before coercing them into performing sexual acts in court filings and media reviews.
In an internet answer, quoted by AP, Jeffries ‘ attorney, Brian Bieber, said that he would “respond in depth to the allegations after the prosecution is sealed, and when appropriate, but plan to do so in the courthouse— never the media”.
Information regarding the other defendants ‘ legal picture were not immediately available.
Jeffries departed from Abercrombie &, Fitch, headquartered in New Albany, Ohio, in 2014. In a legal complaint filed in New York last year, it was claimed that Abercrombie gave Jeffries the right to run a sex-trafficking band during his 22-year tenure. According to the lawsuit, Jeffries employed model scout to look up potential victims online before some of these young models perished in sex trafficking.
Following a BBC report that made similar allegations public, Abercrombie announced last year that they had hired an outside law firm to execute an independent analysis. Twelve people who allegedly described attending sexual acts that Jeffries and his mate, Matthew Smith, allegedly orchestrated, were featured in the BBC research. These events took place frequently at Jeffries ‘ New York property and hotels in various cities like London and Paris.
