In an article published on Monday, eight men told BBC News that they attended the alleged sex events and that some of them were also exploited or abused.
在周一發(fā)表的一篇文章中，八名男子告訴BBC新聞，他們參加了所謂的性活動，其中一些人還受到了剝削或虐待。
“We are appalled and disgusted by the behavior described in the allegations against Mr. Jeffries, whose employment with Abercrombie & Fitch Co. ended in 2014, nearly ten years ago. Speaking up and coming forward is not easy, and our thoughts are with those who bravely raised their voices,” an Abercrombie & Fitch spokesperson told PEOPLE in a statement.
Abercrombie&Fitch的一位發(fā)言人在一份聲明中告訴《人物》雜志：“我們對杰弗里斯先生的指控中所描述的行為感到震驚和厭惡，杰弗里斯先生在Abercrombye&Fitch Co.的工作于2014年結(jié)束，也就是近十年前。站出來說話并不容易，我們與那些勇敢發(fā)聲的人同在。”
“Since being contacted by the BBC, we have engaged an outside law firm to conduct an independent investigation into the issues raised. The company’s current executive leadership team and board of directors were not aware of the allegations of sexual misconduct by Mr. Jeffries,” the statement continued.
聲明繼續(xù)說道：“自從英國廣播公司聯(lián)系我們以來，我們已經(jīng)聘請了一家外部律師事務(wù)所對所提出的問題進行獨立調(diào)查。該公司目前的執(zhí)行領(lǐng)導(dǎo)團隊和董事會并不知道杰弗里斯先生的性行為不端指控。”
The spokesperson also reiterated that Jeffries has not been affiliated with the brand for approximately 10 years.
這位發(fā)言人還重申，杰弗里斯已經(jīng)有大約10年沒有加入該品牌了。
“For close to a decade, a new executive leadership team and refreshed board of directors have successfully transformed our brands and culture into the values-driven organization we are today,” they added.
他們補充道：“近十年來，一個新的執(zhí)行領(lǐng)導(dǎo)團隊和更新的董事會成功地將我們的品牌和文化轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)榻裉斓膬r值觀驅(qū)動型組織。”
“We have zero tolerance for abuse, harassment or discrimination of any kind.”
“我們對任何形式的虐待、騷擾或歧視都是零容忍的。”
According to BBC News, Jeffries and Smith could possibly face charges for sex trafficking after two former United States prosecutors independently reviewed documents from the investigation and requested one of their own.
據(jù)英國廣播公司新聞報道，杰弗里斯和史密斯可能面臨性交易指控，此前兩名前美國檢察官獨立審查了調(diào)查文件，并要求提供自己的文件。

“這次經(jīng)歷，我覺得讓我崩潰了，”他說。“我認為這偷走了我剩下的任何一點純真。它在精神上把我搞砸了。但以我今天的語言，我可以坐在這里告訴你，我被利用了。”
