Ex-Abercrombie CEO Michael Jeffries charged and arrested for sex trafficking

The ex-CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch reflects the lifestyle Diddy is said to have been alive… at least according to the federal authorities, who have now filed charges against him Michael Jeffries for very similar crimes.

A grand jury convicted Jeffries — who was CEO of Abercrombie from 1992 to 2014 — of 15 counts of interstate prostitution and one count of sex trafficking. The indictment includes Jeffries' boyfriend Matthew Smith And James Jacobsonwho allegedly recruited men for “sex events” … and forced them to have sex with him in “test trials.”

According to prosecutors in the Eastern District of New York, Jeffries and Co. took full advantage of his Abercrombie power and ran “a company dedicated to fulfilling their sexual desires and ensuring that their international sex trafficking and prostitution business was kept secret.” .”

Federal authorities say the defendants provided quid pro quo from 2008 to 2015… leading the men to believe that they could get modeling gigs at Abercrombie if they attended the “sex events” – which were really like the ones described “Freak offs” sound in Diddy’s case.

In documents, prosecutors say the parties featured large sex toys, high-pressure enemas and shaving of men's genitals – and participants were pressured to drink alcohol and take Viagra and muscle relaxants called “poppers.”

Federal authorities also allege they intentionally recruited heterosexual men and forced them to perform certain sexual acts… even though they were unwilling to do so.

Jeffries, Smith and Jacobson were arrested Tuesday – and like Diddy, prosecutors admit their investigation was sparked by civil lawsuits filed last year against Jeffries and Abercrombie & Fitch.
