A BBC investigation found Jeffries and his partner, Matthew Smith, were at the center of an organized operation running sex events, with a middleman recruiting young men.
Two former U.S. prosecutors who reviewed the documents and first-hand accounts gathered by the British network for its report called for prosecutors to investigate whether Jeffries should face sex trafficking charges.
Eight men who attended the events told the BBC they had been recruited by a middleman who was missing part of his nose, identified by the BBC as James Jacobson. All said they were paid to attend and signed non-disclosure agreements prior to the events. Some had knowledge sex would be involved. All but one of these men said they felt harmed by the experience, the BBC reported.
When he arrived, he said he spoke to Jeffries and Smith about his aspirations to be a model for the brand. Then, Bradberry said Jeffries held"poppers" under his nose, a muscle relaxing drug that can cause disorientation and a head rush, after which Jeffries had sex with him. Another man called Alex, whose name has been changed to protect his identity, said he was recruited to attend an event involving dozens of men who were flown to a five-star hotel in Morocco. He said he was a struggling model with a family to support at the time, and was recruited as a dancer, so expected he would have to strip."I had debt, I wanted to support my family," Alex, who identifies as straight, said."I performed the job and I was, like, disgusted.
