Mike Jeffries, the former chief executive of Abercrombie & Fitch, was charged with running an international sex trafficking ring while at the company, the Justice Department announced Tuesday—accusing the fashion executive of coercing aspiring models into sex.

Jeffries, his partner Matthew Smith and James Jacobson were each charged with sex trafficking and engaging in interstate prostitution, the DOJ said.

Prosecutors allege between December 2008 and March 2015, Jeffries, Smith and Jacobson coerced young men into attending “sex events” they believed would provide them with modeling opportunities, though they also believed not complying would harm their careers.

Jeffries and Smith allegedly provided financial resources to arrange the “sex events,” including paying for travel and staff to “facilitate and supervise” the events, while Jacobson traveled across the U.S. to recruit and interview men for them.

During these interviews, Jacobson allegedly required candidates to engage in sex acts with him, according to an indictment unsealed Tuesday.

Prosecutors also allege Jeffries and Smith directed others to inject or personally injected some of the prospective models with a “prescription-grade erection-inducing substance” to engage in sex acts “they were otherwise physically incapable or unwilling.”

Neither Brian Bieber—Jeffries’ attorney—nor Abercrombie & Fitch immediately responded to requests for comment, though attorneys representing Jeffries and Smith previously “vehemently denied” any wrongdoing to the BBC.
