Ex-Abercrombie CEO Cleared to Stand Trial in Sex-Trafficking Case

A federal judge ruled former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Michael Jeffries mentally competent to stand trial on sex-trafficking charges after a four-month hospital stay for dementia-like symptoms. He and two co-defendants are set to be tried in October, with prosecutors alleging they used modeling promises to lure men to drug-fueled sex parties in New York City, the Hamptons, and elsewhere. Jeffries’ lawyers argued for ongoing care given his cognitive issues, but the judge found he understands courtroom procedures and legal concepts.

Former Abercrombie CEO Cleared to Stand Trial in Global Sex-Trafficking Case

A federal judge ruled that former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries is competent to stand trial on sex trafficking and prostitution charges, reversing a prior finding of incompetence due to dementia and late-onset Alzheimer's. The decision followed review of medical records and more than 21 hours of audio from 109 calls, with the trial set to begin October 26. The court will provide accommodations for his age (81) and cognitive impairments, including a reduced schedule, breaks, and daily transcripts. If convicted, he faces a potential life sentence. The charges arise from a global sex-trafficking operation uncovered after a BBC investigation.

Hollister Arrives at Target, Boosting Abercrombie’s Wholesale Push

Abercrombie & Fitch Co.'s Hollister brand will be sold at Target as part of a multi-season wholesale partnership, marking Hollister’s first foray into home/dorm merchandise alongside apparel. Starting June 28, Target will carry nearly 60 items—dorm bedding, home goods, fleece and sleepwear—priced roughly $25–$65 and available at most Target stores and select Hollister locations. The deal expands A&F’s wholesale strategy after last year’s partnerships with Dick’s Sporting Goods and various department stores. CFO Robert Ball noted Hollister’s latest quarter showed flat net sales and a 2% comp decline, with gains in the Americas and Asia offsetting softness in the Middle East and Europe.
