Episode Details

Eighty-two-year-old former Abercrombie CEO Michael Jeffries has been ruled mentally fit to stand trial for sex trafficking charges, defying his defense’s claims of severe dementia. After months of hospitalization and review of medical records and recorded calls, a judge found he understands the legal process, court roles, and charges — even post-prison hospital care. His defense had argued he was permanently incapacitated, but the court deemed him competent. Jeffries, out on bond, faces trial in late October alongside two co-defendants on charges including sex trafficking and interstate prostitution, accused of luring men with modeling jobs into drug-fueled sex parties. The case reignites scrutiny over past allegations of sexual misconduct tied to his legacy as the brand’s transformative leader.
