the former CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch, Mike Jeffries, has been arrested on sex trafficking and interstate prostitution charges.
Jeffries has been arrested in West Palm Beach, Florida. Two other associates, Matthew Smith of West Palm Beach and James Jacobson of Wisconsin, were also arrested in connection with sex trafficking charges.
Jeffries and Smith made their initial court appearance in Florida on Tuesday afternoon. They will be arraigned on a later date in the eastern District of New York.
Jeffries was the CEO of the popular clothing brand from 1992 to 2014. '
Jeffries, Smith and Jacobson each face a single count of sex trafficking as well as 15 counts of interstate prostitution tied to 15 alleged victims.
A federal indictment alleges Jeffries — along with Smith, his romantic partner, and Jacobson, who was described as a recruiter — operated an "international sex trafficking and prostitution business” from 2008 to 2015.
It alleges that they organized “sex events” in England, France, Italy, Morocco, St. Barts and New York for Jeffries, Smith and “others.” They “employed coercive, fraudulent and deceptive tactics in connection with the recruitment, hiring, transportation, obtaining, maintaining, solicitation and payment of the men to engage in commercial sex.”
The men who attended the events allegedly were led to believe that it could lead to modeling opportunities or help their careers or “that not complying with requests for certain acts during the Sex Events could harm their careers.”
The men were required to sign non-disclosure agreements and surrender their wallets and cell phones during the events.
Jeffries, Smith and Jacobson also allegedly recruited, hired and paid an exclusive set of household staff to “facilitate and supervise the sex events.” The staff provided Jeffries, Smith and the men who attended alcohol, muscle relaxants known as "poppers," lubricant, Viagra, and condoms among other items. Either Jacobson or the staff paid the men for attending the sex events, the indictment said.
Satanic Art With Sex Slaves Covered In Blood & Hanging Upside Down Featured At Abercrombie & Fitch Store Opening!
Satanic art that looks straight out of John & Tony Podesta’s collection was featured at the 2005 Abercrombie & Fitch 5th Avenue store opening in New York.
The art depicts bloodied sex slave models hanging from ropes similar to the type of content we saw from alleged Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficker and Diddy pal Rachel Chandler’s social media pages. Nothing to see here!

This is Pizzagate.
Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries — who served as the CEO under Les Wexner’s ownership during the same time Jeffrey Epstein managed Wexner’s wealth — and two of his associates were arrested today as part of a sex trafficking investigation.
Authorities arrested Jeffries in West Palm Beach, Florida and two of his business associates, Matthew Smith and James Jacobson, according to the New York Post.
In October of last year, two former US prosecutors called for an investigation to determine whether charges for sex trafficking could be brought after the BBC published a report exposing that Jeffries allegedly exploited men for sex. See my post from last year.
Shortly after the BBC’s report came out last year, David Bradberry, a former model for Abercrombie & Fitch, sued the fashion retailer and Jeffries, estimating there were over 100 victims. The lawsuit alleges Jeffries had modeling scouts searching the internet and elsewhere to identify attractive young men seeking to be the next face of Abercrombie. Many of these prospective models allegedly became sex-trafficking victims. The victims were sent to New York and abroad and allegedly abused by Jeffries and others all under the ruse they were being recruited to become an Abercrombie model, according to the complaint.
Abercrombie was acquired in 1988 by The Limited's Les Wexner for $47 million. Jeffries served as the CEO under Wexner’s ownership during the same time Epstein managed Wexner’s wealth.
