Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Ruled Unfit for Sex Trafficking Trial, Ordered to Hospital
Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Michael Jeffries has been deemed incompetent to stand trial on sex trafficking charges due to Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy body dementia, and a traumatic brain injury. A federal judge ordered Jeffries’ hospitalization for up to four months to determine if his condition improves, enabling the case to proceed. The ruling follows a defense motion citing Jeffries’ severe cognitive decline, with medical professionals deeming his condition incurable. Jeffries, along with his partner and another man, faces charges related to alleged sex trafficking and interstate prostitution.
