“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.

“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.

“We have zero tolerance for abuse, harassment or discrimination of any kind.”

“這次經(jīng)歷，我覺得讓我崩潰了，”他說。“我認(rèn)為這偷走了我剩下的任何一點(diǎn)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。”
