Jeffries has been accused of luring men into drug-laced, outlandish and coercive sex parties held around the world by dangling the promise of modelling for the big retailer’s once-defining ads.
Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries, his romantic partner and a third man were arrested Tuesday on charges of luring men into drug-laced, outlandish and coercive sex parties held around the world by dangling the promise of modelling for the big retailer’s once-defining beefcake ads.
Jeffries’ attorney, Brian Bieber, and Smith’s lawyers, Joseph Nascimento and David Raben, said by email they would respond to the allegations in court. The men weren’t informed of all that the events would entail, including some of the sexual practices they’d be expected to engage in, and they were required to give up their clothes and cell phones during the gatherings and sign non-disclosure agreements afterward, the indictment said.
Jeffries became CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch in 1992 and left in 2014. The company, which also encompasses Hollister and other brands, declined to comment on his arrest.
