Mike Jeffries, who his lawyers say also has Alzheimer's disease, has pleaded not guilty to one count of sex trafficking and 15 counts of interstate prostitution.

Summary

Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries, facing sex trafficking and interstate prostitution charges, has been diagnosed with dementia and late-onset Alzheimer’s, according to court filings.

Jeffries, 80, and co-defendants allegedly ran an international sex trafficking ring from 2008 to 2015, coercing young men, some financially vulnerable or with ties to Abercrombie, into sex acts for career opportunities.

Prosecutors claim victims were intimidated, drugged, and paid large sums.

Jeffries, under house arrest since October, has pleaded not guilty, with a competency hearing scheduled for June.
