Michael Jeffries, the former CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch, has been ruled incompetent to stand trial for sex trafficking charges. The decision by Judge Nusrat Choudhury cited evidence of mental incompetence stemming from Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body dementia, and a traumatic brain injury. Jeffries' lawyers argued that his cognitive condition is progressive and irreversible, making it unlikely he would regain competency. The court has ordered Jeffries to be hospitalized in the Bureau of Prisons for treatment, amidst ongoing investigations into serious allegations dating back to 2008.
