Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries, his partner Matthew Smith, and their alleged middleman James Jacobson were arrested on charges of running a prostitution and international sex trafficking ring. Prosecutors claim the trio used force, fraud, and coercion to involve victims in violent sexual acts. Jeffries and Smith have previously denied these allegations. Jeffries' lawyer announced that they would respond fully once the indictment is made public. The charges highlight serious allegations of exploitation within the fashion industry, with potential legal consequences for those involved.
