Abercrombie & Fitch Ex-CEO Facing Diddy-esque Charges ... Prostitutes, Sex Trafficking
UPDATE
1:27 PM PT -- Michael Jeffries, the ex-CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch, has been released on bond following his indictment Tuesday ... TMZ has learned.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of NY tells TMZ ... the controversial businessman has been released on a $10 million bond. Meanwhile, his boyfriend, Matthew Smith, who was also included in the indictment, was released on a $500K bond.
As for James Jacobson, who allegedly lured in men to participate in "sex events," was detained.
Jeffries and Jacobson are set to be arraigned Friday afternoon at a federal courthouse in Long Island.
The Ex-CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch is mirroring the lifestyle Diddy allegedly lived ... at least according to the feds who've now secured an indictment against Michael Jeffries for very similar crimes.
A grand jury hit Jeffries -- who was Abercrombie's CEO from 1992 to 2014 -- with 15 counts of interstate prostitution and one count of sex trafficking. The indictment includes Jeffries' BF Matthew Smith and James Jacobson, who allegedly recruited men for "Sex Events" ... and made them have sex with him in "tryouts."
According to prosecutors for the Eastern District of NY, Jeffries and co. fully exploited his Abercrombie power, running "a business that was dedicated to fulfilling their sexual desires and ensuring that their international sex trafficking and prostitution business was kept secret."
