Following a months-long hospitalization and evaluation, U.S. Bureau of Prison officials have deemed that former Abercrombie & Fitch chief executive officer Mike Jeffries is mentally fit to stand trial on sex trafficking and interstate prostitution charges.
In May, the former corporate leader’s lawyers said Jeffries was unfit to stand trial, due to signs of Alzheimer’s disease. In 2024, Jeffries was accused of operating an international sex operation that involved using his power and phony modeling opportunities to take advantage of dozens of men at various locations, including luxury hotels. Facing one charge of sex trafficking and 15 counts of interstate prostitution, he pled not guilty last year and was released on a $10 million bond.
