Mike Jeffries, the 81-year-old former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO, is back in court — and this time, he’s fit to stand trial on shocking sex trafficking charges. After being deemed mentally unfit last year due to dementia, a federal judge reviewed over 21 hours of his phone calls and found him lucid, articulate, and capable of understanding the case against him. The trial, set for October 26th, will be adjusted for his age: shorter days, frequent breaks, and daily transcripts to help him follow along. If convicted, he could face life in prison — all stemming from a BBC exposé that alleged he ran a global trafficking ring while leading the iconic brand. His co-defendants also plead not guilty.
