COURTHOUSE,
Aug 23 – Under the Trafficking
Victims Protection Act,
Abercombie & Fitch, The
Jefferies Family Office and
two individuals were sued by a
model who alleged he was told
if he did not allow himself to
be coerced into sex, he could
not have the modeling jobs and
career.
On August 23,
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Jennifer H. Rearden held
a proceeding, to deny
defendants' motion to stay the
case in light of an EDNY
subpoena. Inner City Press
covered it. Thread:
OK - now in
Trafficking Victims Protection
Act case by male model(s)
against Abercrombie &
Fitch and The Jeffries Family
Office,
SDNY judge is
reading her ruling on
defendants motion to stay the
case against them, based on an
EDNY criminal subpoena.
Judge: Here,
nothing suggests that
plaintiff was ever notified by
the Government of the pending
investigation. Plaintiff was
interviewed by the FBI, but
given no other information. He
was not notified under the
TVPA - nothing in
writing
Judge: Thus,
defendants' motion for a stay
is denied without prejudice.
If they come into possession
of further information, they
may move again. This
constitutes the order of the
court. I'll issue a notice of
an IPTC. Adjourned.
The case is
Bradberry v. Abercrombie &
Fitch Co., et al., 23-cv-9440
(Rearden)
