Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries is facing allegations of sexual exploitation from several men, who claim they were abused and drugged during modelling events. The allegations include claims of forced kissing, unwanted sexual advances, and verbal abuse. The BBC investigation, which started in 2022, has now grown to include 20 men, with the FBI also launching an investigation.
Despite the ongoing crisis of violence against women, societal focus remains insufficient. The issue of modelling in parliament and society, where negative behaviors are pervasive, needs attention. The criminal justice system should take police recommendations for bail approvals more seriously, as they possess vital knowledge about potential offenders. The senseless murder of Molly Ticehurst highlights the need for stiffer bail laws for potential AVO offenders and the use of personal trackers to deter stalkers.
