"Ex-Abercrombie CEO Under FBI Investigation for Alleged Sexual Misconduct"

The FBI has launched an investigation following allegations that former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries sexually exploited and abused men at events he hosted globally, with a civil lawsuit also accusing him and his partner of running a sex-trafficking operation. The investigation is being led by FBI agents specializing in alleged sex crimes, and federal prosecutors from the Eastern District of New York. Jeffries and his partner face accusations of engaging in sexual activity with men or directing them to have sex with each other at events held between 2009 and 2015. Abercrombie & Fitch has suspended a substantial part of Jeffries' retirement payments, and a civil lawyer representing some of the alleged victims believes that law enforcement is likely looking into the matter.
