Abercrombie ex-CEO Mike Jeffries charged with sex trafficking, prostitution

Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries and two other men were arrested and charged with 16 counts of sex trafficking and interstate prostitution by federal prosecutors in New York, case documents made public Tuesday showed.

Jeffries, 80, was arrested in West Palm Beach, Florida, a spokesman for federal prosecutors in Brooklyn told CNBC.

Matthew Smith, who is described in a grand jury indictment as Jeffries romantic partner, and James Jacobson, who allegedly recruited men to perform commercial sex acts for Jeffries and Smith, were also arrested.

All three men face one count of sex trafficking and 15 counts of interstate prostitution related to alleged misconduct that spanned from December 2008 to March 2015.

The indictment in U.S. District Court in Long Island alleges that the defendants and others operated an international sex trafficking and prostitution business during that time.
