Mike Jeffries, the former head of clothing company Abercrombie & Fitch, has been accused of exploiting young men for sex at events he and his partner, Matthew Smith, hosted in the U.S. and around the world, according to a BBC investigation. The events were reportedly hosted in Jeffries' New York residences and luxurious international hotels, including in London, Venice and Marrakesh.
As part of a two-year investigation, the BBC spoke to 12 men who described attending or organizing events between 2009 and 2015 that involved sex acts for both Jeffries and Smith. The men said they were recruited by a middleman/casting agent, who denied any wrongdoing and claimed the men attended these events "with their eyes wide open."
