In an investigation by BBC News, multiple men say the mogul coerced them into performing sex acts under the guise of modeling opportunities.
BBC News investigation
Over the course of a two-year investigation, the BBC spoke to 12 men who claimed to have either attended or organized sex events for Jeffries and Smith. Eight of the accusers say they were lured in under the pretense of modeling opportunities at the brand and were recruited by a “middleman” or “casting agent” identified by the outlet as James Jacobson.
While Smith allegedly organized the cash payments for these events, Jeffries stands accused of funding them, which the BBC reports happened routinely over weekends at the mogul’s Hamptons home. Pall, who said he was recruited by an older model at the age of 22, recalled attending a Hamptons event where Jeffries and Smith allegedly watched another recruit perform oral sex on him before encouraging Pall to come to their bed and kiss Jeffries.
