“A BBC investigation found an organised network used a middleman to recruit young adult men for the events with Mr Jeffries and his partner Matthew Smith, with some alleging they were abused,” the report said, adding there was no evidence company leaders knew about the allegations.
Jeffries is accused of exploiting the men for sex at events he hosted at his homes in New York and inside hotels in several European cities.
