The former CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch, Mike Jeffries, is suing the company for refusing to cover his legal fees related to allegations of running a sex trafficking operation. This comes after a BBC investigation exposed claims that Jeffries had exploited young men for sex while he was CEO. According to the lawsuit filed in Delaware state court, Jeffries had a contract with Abercrombie & Fitch that included indemnification for any claims arising from his role as CEO, as well as reimbursement or advance payment for legal fees. However, the company has rejected his demand for coverage. Jeffries is now seeking reimbursement for his expenses incurred in connection with the sex-trafficking lawsuit. Abercrombie & Fitch has not provided any comment on the matter.
