Jeffries and his co-conspirators, including his romantic partner and a recruiter, are accused of coercing young men into non-consensual sex acts, leveraging promises of modeling opportunities. Many victims were made to consume alcohol, drugs, and were confined in secretive, controlled environments. Such tactics are common in sex-trafficking schemes, where victims often feel trapped, ashamed, or fearful of retaliation.
For anyone who has endured this type of exploitation, it’s important to know that the law is on your side. The survivors in this case took a courageous step by coming forward, which has led to significant legal actions, including potential life sentences for the accused. However, the path to justice doesn’t end with the criminal prosecution of Jeffries and his associates. Abercrombie & Fitch itself has also been implicated in a class-action lawsuit, with accusations of ignoring or enabling the misconduct.
