Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries and two associates were arrested for allegedly running an international sex trafficking operation disguised as modeling offers.
U.S. Attorney Breon Peace emphasized that the exploitation of vulnerable individuals under the guise of casting for modeling is a serious crime and a warning to others.
The indictment indicates that many young men were lured into coercive situations with the promise of modeling opportunities but faced sexual exploitation instead.
Jeffries, along with his partner and their employee, used wealth and staff to create an environment that facilitated and concealed their criminal behavior.
