The former CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch, Mike Jeffries, was taken into custody early Tuesday after being accused of running an international sex-trafficking operation while overseeing the fashion company, once known for its sexually charged ad campaigns.

Jeffries, 80, was arrested for sex trafficking and engaging in interstate prostitution along with two of his alleged associates, Matthew Smith, 61, and James Jacobson, 71, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York Breon Peace said at a press conference.

The three defendants used force, fraud and coercion to traffic those men for their own sexual gratification, said Peace, who encouraged any other victims to come forward and contact the FBI .
