This has been the year like Katt Williams said that all TRUTH Shall be exposed and well folks looks like the Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries and two others were arrested Tuesday 10/22/2024 as part of a criminal investigation into the alleged sex trafficking of more than a dozen victims, according to them FBI guys and federal prosecutors. Mike Jeffries + his partner, Matt Smith; and a third man, Jim Jacobson, are accused of operating an international sex trafficking and prostitution business that recruited young men for parties in the U.S. and abroad, according to an indictment of 16-counts! WOW I wonder if this is connected to Diddy snitching or someone on the Epstein list snitching?
OR Ghislaine Maxwell herself snitching? Anyway this goes on to say that the former retail executive and Smith relied on their vast financial resources, Jeffries' power as the CEO of Abercrombie, and numerous people, including Jacobson and a network of employees, contractors and security professionals, to run a business "that was dedicated to fulfilling their sexual desires like the dirty little birdies they are and ensuring that their international sex trafficking and prostitution business was kept secret," the indictment claims.
The federal prosecutors said the trio allegedly paid dozens of men to travel around the world to engage in sex acts over at least a seven-year period, starting in late 2008. I do wonder however if they have done this before with other sex cults or groups engaged in this stuff like Diddy and Epstein? Remember around 2008 is when Epstein was getting investigated. The indictment mentions 15 alleged victims, identified as John Does #1-#15. Jeffries allegedly recruited, hired and paid a slate of household staff to "facilitate and supervise the Sex Events." YUP Sounds like a Diddy or Epstein style "FREAKOFF" but the Prosecutors and them FBI folks believe there are many more victims! HAHA YOU Think?
And as you can imagine they have been asked them to come forward if they're victims or if they even hate the clothing... Allegedly Jacobson traveled throughout the USA and internationally to recruit and interview men for the "sex events", said prosecutors. During "tryouts" of potential candidates, Jacobson required that the candidates first engage in sex acts with him, prosecutors said. So a Casting couch? Seems very Hollywood don't it?
The indictment alleges that many of the men were coerced, led to believe that attending the events would yield modeling opportunities with Abercrombie or otherwise benefit their careers, or, in the alternative, that not complying with requests for certain acts during the sex events could harm their careers. The defendants are charged with sex trafficking and interstate prostitution. Jeffries was released on a $10 million bond following a brief initial appearance Tuesday afternoon before a federal magistrate in Florida, where he was arrested.
"Today marks a big step forward on behalf of David Bradberry and the other survivors in this action," said Dean Kaire, an attorney with Edwards Henderson who is representing several of the alleged victims, following the court appearance, according to WPBF.
Former crewman David Bradberry who was on the reality series "Below Deck," said Jeffries made Abercrombie successful by the "oversexualization of young men." His lawsuit accused Jeffries, Smith, Jacobson and Abercrombie itself of luring attractive young men under the guise of making them an Abercrombie model and then forcing them to take drugs and perform sex acts. Something we all could tell them without spending money in investigations! This much was clear from just their marketing from day one that this company was branding to young men and mostly those in the LGBTQ crowd...
"The arrest this morning serves as a validation of their bravery in coming forward and sharing their stories and experiences," Kaire said, "and our law firm looks forward to continue representing all survivors of abuse and ensuring that all parties are held responsible." Smith, a U.K. citizen, waived pretrial intervention and will be sent to New York from Florida and held pending arraignment. Jacobson was arrested in Minnesota and was released on a $500,000 bond after an arraignment in federal court in St. Paul.
Before his breakout role on That '70s Show, Ashton Kutcher modeled for Abercrombie & Fitch in 1998 after winning the "Fresh Faces of Iowa" competition.

Jeffries, who was the chairman and CEO of the powerhouse teen fashion brand from 1992 to 2014, has been accused in civil lawsuits of exploiting young men for sex at parties he hosted at his Hamptons estate in New York, London, Venice and elsewhere with his partner, Smith. Brad Edwards of Edwards Henderson, which is representing several of the plaintiffs, told ABC News in a statement: "As we laid out in our lawsuit, this was an Abercrombie-run sex trafficking organization that permeated throughout the company and allowed the three individuals arrested today to victimize dozens and dozens of young, aspiring male models."
"Powerful individuals have for too long trafficked and abused for their own sexual pleasure young people with few resources and a dream a dream of making a successful career in fashion or entertainment," U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said Tuesday. I personally say if they're guilty LOCK THEM UP! Hell it's time to stop pretending these people are doing these illegal sex trafficking of under age kids. Time to end this now... LOCK EM ALL UP!
