"Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Accused of Exploiting Men for Sex Worldwide"
Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries and his partner Matthew Smith have been accused of exploiting men for sex at events they hosted around the world. BBC Panorama released a dossier of allegations, claiming that a "highly organized network" used a middleman named James Jacobson to recruit young men for Jeffries and Smith. The men alleged that they were misled about the nature of the events or not informed that sex was expected. Some claimed they were coerced into performing sexual acts, while others said they willingly participated but were not fully aware of what was expected of them. The BBC has called for an investigation into potential charges of sex trafficking. Jeffries and Smith have not responded to the allegations.
