The 16-count indictment was unveiled on Tuesday, October 22, by federal prosecutors in Brooklyn a decade after Jeffries left the retailer he built over 22 years into a popular clothing brand known for sexually charged marketing. It followed a BBC investigation and proposed class action lawsuit accusing Jeffries of baiting young men with the prospect of modeling jobs to lure them into traveling around the world so they could be sexually abused.
The defendants include Jeffries, 80, his partner Matthew Smith, 61, and James Jacobson, 71, who allegedly recruited men for them. In separate court hearings, Jeffries and Jacobson were ordered released on respective bonds of $10 million and $500,000. A spokesperson for Peace said they are expected to enter formal pleas on Friday afternoon in the Central Islip, New York federal court. Prosecutors want both men subjected to home confinement.
Abercrombie also declined to comment. It was not accused of wrongdoing, and Peace said there was no evidence the alleged crimes took place on company property.Prosecutors said Jeffries and Smith paid for dozens of men to meet them for sex at their homes in Manhattan and in the Hamptons in Long Island, New York, as well as at hotels in places such as England, France, Italy, Morocco, and St. Barts.
They also said the scheme involved muscle relaxants known as “poppers” and props such as large sex toys and high-pressured enemas.
