A judge ruled that former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries is mentally competent to face sex trafficking charges. Prosecutors allege he paid men to engage in sexual acts that he recorded. The finding means the trial can proceed and Jeffries will face the charges against him.
Mental fitness to stand trial is a low bar—it just means he understands the charges and can participate in his defense. The judge clearing that hurdle means the case now moves forward to trial. What happens in that trial will determine whether the trafficking allegations are proved, but this step removes the possibility that Jeffries could avoid trial on mental health grounds.
