The former CEO of the renowned fashion brand Abercrombie & Fitch, along with his British partner, has been arrested and faces serious sex trafficking charges. The arrests were made on Tuesday morning.
Authorities are expected to provide further details during an upcoming press conference, which will discuss the implications of these arrests.
Legal representatives for both individuals have been contacted for comments, with previous statements strongly denying any wrongdoing from either party involved.
An investigation initiated by the FBI last year followed allegations that the former CEO and his partner sexually exploited and abused men at private events hosted in their New York residences and luxury hotels worldwide.
Investigative reports uncovered a complex operation facilitated by a middleman and a network of recruiters, all tasked with sourcing men for these events.
In response to the arrests, a civil lawyer representing some alleged victims highlighted the significance of this development, referring to it as an essential step towards achieving justice for the many victims exploited through this extensive sex trafficking scheme. The lawyer commended the thorough investigative work that brought these accusations to light and contributed to the recent arrests.
