Former Abercrombie CEO Mike Jeffries was accused of allegedly running a sex trafficking ring that exploited men hoping to become models for the brand.
Abercrombie & Fitch was sued for allegedly turning a blind eye to former CEO Mike Jeffries, who's accused of running a sex trafficking ring and sexually abusing young men.
The suit alleges that Jeffries, who's also listed as a defendant, sexually abused numerous men under the guise it would land them coveted modeling contracts. "For close to a decade, a new executive leadership team and refreshed board of directors have successfully transformed our brands and culture into the values-driven organization we are today. We have zero tolerance for abuse, harassment or discrimination of any kind."David Bradberry, who brought the suit, claims that he was recruited for a modeling opportunity in 2010 and introduced to a scout who said he was working on behalf of the brand.
"Amidst the confusion caused by the poppers, David Bradberry began to focus on the four older, larger, physically fit men who appeared to be security guards observing the activity in the room," the lawsuit alleges. The lawsuit, which is seeking class action status, alleges that similar events happened to more than one hundred other victims and Abercrombie allowed it to happen.
