Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries and two other men have been arrested on federal sex crime charges, according to law enforcement sources.
Jeffries, who led the company from 1992 until 2014, was arrested along with his partner, Matt Smith, at their home in West Palm Beach, Florida, authorities said. A third suspect, James “Mrs. Cook” Jacobson was captured in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Breon Peace, the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, told reporters Tuesday that the suspects used a “casting couch” system to lure in and abuse their victims.
He alleged that at least 15 victims were coerced into using alcohol and drugs like Viagra to engage in acts they were “incapable” or “unwilling” of taking part in between 2008 and 2015. Additional victims were asked to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI.
