Michael Jeffries, the former CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch, may be deemed incompetent for trial due to potentially severe dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease. His lawyers have requested a competency hearing scheduled for June 2025 to determine his ability to stand trial for federal sex trafficking charges arising from allegations of exploiting vulnerable men from 2008 to 2015. Prosecutors have charged him with running a sex trafficking operation aided by associates, while he pleads not guilty. The case includes discussions of cognitive impairments that hinder his capability to assist in his defense.
