Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries and an alleged accomplice pleaded not guilty on Friday to sex trafficking and interstate prostitution charges.
Jeffries and James Jacobson entered their pleas during a brief appearance at the federal courthouse in Central Islip, New York.
Entering the courtroom, Jeffries did not acknowledge Jacobson and let his lawyer, Brian H. Bieber, do the talking for him.
"We plead not guilty, your honor," Bieber said.
Jeffries remains free on the $10 million bond he posted at his first court appearance Tuesday in West Palm Beach, Florida. But he has had to surrender his passport and remain confined at his homes in Florida, New York City or Long Island and is subject to GPS monitoring.
