Mike Jeffries, the longtime former CEO of fashion retailer Abercrombie and Fitch, was arrested on Tuesday along with two other men, after being accused of presiding over an international sex trafficking ring, according to a federal indictment made public on Tuesday.
Jeffries, his life partner Matthew Smith, and a Wisconsin man named James Jacobson, allegedly used the executive’s “vast financial resources” and a “combination of force, fraud and coercion” to traffick young men around the world, according to federal officials with the FBI and US Attorney’s Office.
