Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Faces Lawsuits Over Allegations of Sexual Abuse and Trafficking

Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries and his partner Matthew Smith are facing lawsuits and an FBI investigation over allegations of sexual abuse, sexual discrimination, and sex trafficking. The BBC conducted an investigation into the allegations, prompting the involvement of federal prosecutors and FBI agents specializing in sex crimes. Eight men have come forward, stating that they were coerced into sexual activities at events hosted by Jeffries and Smith, both in their New York residencies and at high-end hotels across the world. The victims have spoken out about feeling degraded and harmed. Meanwhile, investigations are ongoing, and the victims seek justice and resolution.
