Our Ask Billy question comes from the world of real-life crime.  Patrick in San Francisco writes, “I know you wrote about that guy from Abercrombie in the past.  I saw he was just arrested.  What’s going on?”

Former A&F CEO Mike Jeffries was arrested and charged with 15 counts of prostitution and sex trafficking.  Of course, most of these charges have been enumerated in the various documentaries about the case, but let me briefly recap.  It’s been alleged by many very attractive young men that they were pressed into various sexual activities at various locales with the promise of becoming A&F models.  I wasn’t surprised that Jeffries pled not guilty.  I was surprised that he was placed under house arrest after posting a $10 million bail bond using his home as collateral.  Until his next court hearing on December 12^th, he is prohibited from contacting co-defendants, witnesses, or victims.  Well, that’s his whole address book.  Who does that leave?  Probably not his partner, Matthew Smith, who was arrested but not arraigned…yet (although the judge did rule that the British citizen not leave the country).  Another person arrested but not yet arraigned was their “associate” James Jacobson, who helped “procure” the boys.

When most of these stories take place in Southern Florida, it’s definitely time to end yet another column.  Didn’t I mention that Jeffries and Smith were arrested in West Palm Beach?  Not even Palm Beach proper!  Oh, the humanity.  Of course, more classic Billy Masters content can be found on www.BillyMasters.com – the site that breaks no laws…only commandments.  If you’ve got a question for me, send it along to Billy@BillyMasters.com and I promise to get back to you before I get my car back from the shop!  Before we wrap up, a reminder – get out and vote.  You know what I say – vote early, vote often.  Until next time, remember, one man’s filth is another man’s bible.
