Summary

Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries, facing sex trafficking and interstate prostitution charges, has been diagnosed with dementia and late-onset Alzheimer’s, according to court filings.

Jeffries, 80, and co-defendants allegedly ran an international sex trafficking ring from 2008 to 2015, coercing young men, some financially vulnerable or with ties to Abercrombie, into sex acts for career opportunities.

Prosecutors claim victims were intimidated, drugged, and paid large sums.

Jeffries, under house arrest since October, has pleaded not guilty, with a competency hearing scheduled for June.

          I’m 90% sure you’re /s-ing. However, is this an actual hashtag being used? If so…oy vey.

            the whole media coverage of this event has been equivalent to spamming this hashtag.

      The brand shreds and burns out of season designs so that the poors can’t thrift it often either - that’s why it’s not in places like Burlington or other post season/overstock retailers
