Ex-Abercrombie CEO has dementia and is unfit for sex trafficking trial, prosecutors and defense say

Michael Jeffries requires round-the-clock care because the 80-year-old has Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy body dementia and the “residual effects of a traumatic brain injury,” defense attorneys wrote in a letter filed Thursday in a New York federal court, citing recent evaluations by medical professionals.

Prosecutors and defense lawyers want a federal judge in Central Islip to place Jeffries in the custody of the federal Bureau of Prisons for up to four months so that he can be hospitalized and receive treatment that might allow his criminal case to proceed.

  • Throw 'em in the brig, and when he's pissing himself confused and scared, maybe he can feel like the people he trafficked.

    • What do you think this guy is? Muslim?!

      No no no. We don't treat rich white people this way.

      • I just want justice to be done. So much so that its almost cruel. I'm so fucking tired of these god damn buffoons "we dont know why shit is shit" yes you do. Its you. Fucking it up. Earth doesnt have to be fucked up, but its packed with power hungry cunts who dont think and make everything worse for everyone, even themselves.

  • If the evidence is damning of his guilt, seems like he could be a strong candidate for White Bear Justice Park.
