Abercrombie & Fitch and Former CEO Sued for Alleged Sex Abuse and Trafficking of Models

Lawsuit alleges Mike Jeffries lured young men with job prospects to perform sexual acts; A&F declines to comment but initiates external investigation.

David Bradberry, a former model for Abercrombie & Fitch, has filed a lawsuit against the company and its former CEO, Mike Jeffries, alleging that they ran a sex trafficking operation that exploited and abused young men.
The lawsuit claims that Jeffries and his partner, Matthew Smith, used the promise of job opportunities to lure men to events around the world where they were forced into sexual acts.
Several alleged victims came forth in a BBC documentary, which outlined a systematic operation driven by recruiters and personal groomers hired by Jeffries and Smith.
The lawsuit follows a recent expose by the BBC, which suggested men were paid to attend these events with the hope of landing a modeling contract with Abercrombie & Fitch.
Following these allegations, Abercrombie & Fitch stated that they were disgusted by the accusations and initiated an external investigation.
