Attorneys representing longtime Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Michael Jeffries in his sex trafficking and prostitution case have claimed he has dementia and will need to undergo a competency hearing to determine whether he can face the vile charges.

The lawyers wrote in court documents on Monday that the 80-year-old was examined by a neuropsychologist in October, who concluded that he likely has dementia with behavioral disturbance, Alzheimer’s disease and Lewy body dementia.

They claimed the neuropsychologist concluded that Jeffries exhibited cognitive impairments including impaired memory, 비아그라온라인약국 diminished attention, processing speed slowness and ease of confusion.

Jeffries does ‘not even come close to resembling a Master’s degree-educated individual who was just nine years earlier the chief executive officer of a publicly traded company,’ attorney Brian Bieber argued, according to Bloomberg.

He went on to question whether Jeffries could ‘rationally assist – on a sustained and consistent basis’ his attorneys ‘in connection with the possible factual and legal defenses to the allegations he was facing.’

Defense attorneys and prosecutors have now agreed to let the expert who examined Jeffries testify at a two-day competency hearing in June.

In the meantime, Jeffries remains free on a $10million bond after he pleaded not guilty to accusations that he sexually abused 15 young male models between 2008 and 2015.

Prosecutors have claimed he, his partner Matthew Smith and alleged fixer James Jacobson lured the men to drug-fueled sex parties in the Hamptons by promising them they would model for the retailer’s ads.

The sex parties incorporated Abercrombie products, with victims being given itineraries for it that did not mention commercial sex and ‘resembled those often sent to models for photo shoots.’ 

Staff members controlled the entry and exit to the parties, and required the victims to surrender their wallets, cellphones and sign non-disclosure agreements, according to the criminal indictment.

When Jeffries appeared in court in October to plead not guilty to one count of sex trafficking and 15 counts of interstate prostitution, he acted at times like he was hard of hearing.

He could be seen speaking often with his attorneys when the judge asked him certain questions. 

Nevertheless, he seemed very alert. He looked at the victims several times but never even glanced at Jacobson, who was behind him.

The former CEO then appeared expressionless as he followed his family members and his attorney out of the courtroom as Jacobson’s proceeding was getting started.

He had served as CEO of Abercrombie – famed for its homoerotic advertising – between 1992 and 2014. 

But his reputation eventually fell apart thanks to Netflix’s White Hot documentary, which laid bare abuse Abercrombie workers and models say they suffered.
