By Eva Rothenberg, CNNNew York (CNN) — Dozens of men have filed a class action lawsuit alleging Abercrombie & Fitch was complicit in a decade-long sex trafficking scheme carried out by the fashion company’s former CEO. “Sexual exploitation does not discriminate based on gender,” Henderson told CNN in a statement. The courtroom is where we will deal with this matter,” Jeffries’ attorney Brian Bieber told CNN. The complaint also names Jeffries’ long-time partner Matthew Smith as a defendant claiming that he sexually assaulted men alongside Jeffries. Days after the BBC report, Abercrombie & Fitch said it had launched its own investigation into the allegations.
