Former Abercrombie & Finch CEO Mike Jeffries has been arrested on sex trafficking charges BBC News

The former CEO of fashion giant Abercrombie & Fitch (A&F) and his British partner have been arrested and charged with sex trafficking. Mike Jeffries, his partner Matthew Smith and the couple's alleged middleman were arrested on Tuesday morning. The FBI and the prosecutor's office held a press conference to explain the details of the charges. Lawyers for Mr Jeffries and Mr Smith have previously denied any wrongdoing by the two men. In response to the latest news, Mr Jeffries' lawyer told the BBC: “We will respond to the allegations in detail after the indictment is sealed, and if there is one, we intend to do so in court, not in the media.” A lawyer for Mr Smith has been reached for further comment. A&F declined to comment on the latest developments. The FBI opened an investigation last year after the BBC revealed allegations that Mike Jeffries and his partner sexually exploited and abused the men at events they hosted in New York residences and hotels around the world. A BBC investigation found that there was a sophisticated operation involving a network of middlemen and recruiters responsible for recruiting men for the events. After the BBC reported, a civil lawsuit was filed in New York accusing Jeffries and Mr. Smith of sex trafficking, rape and sexual assault. Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/1rbfUog
