A two-year BBC investigation alleged that the former executive was part of an organized ring that exploited men for sexual acts.
With former Abercrombie & Fitch chief executive officer Mike Jeffries under fire for allegedly having been part of an organized ring that exploited men at private sex events he and his partner Matthew Smith hosted, the retailer said Monday it was “appalled and disgusted” and already had initiated an independent investigation.
After turning the preppy label into a multibillion-dollar brand that was associated by many for its ad campaigns with muscular men, Jeffries exited the top job at The Abercrombie & Fitch statement also noted, “We are appalled and disgusted by the behavior described in the allegations against Mr. Jeffries, whose employment with Abercrombie & Fitch Co. ended in 2014, nearly 10 years ago. Speaking up and coming forward is not easy, and our thoughts are with those who bravely raised their voices.”
According to the BBC, David Bradberry alleged that at the age of 23 he was introduced in 2010 to Jacobson by an agent, who described him as the gatekeeper to “the owners” of A&F, but said there was no mention of sex. Bradberry alleged that at their meeting, Jacobson suggested Bruce Weber — then A&F’s official photographer — should take his picture.
