A BBC Panorama subject revealed that he had found a condom inside him after waking up following a nap he claimed was drug-induced.<\/p>\n
The channel\u2019s investigative documentary \u2013 The Abercrombie Guys: The Dark Side of Cool \u2013 accused Abercrombie & Fitch\u2019s former CEO Mike Jeffries of recruiting men for sex on the promise of a modelling contract.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One such hopeful \u2013 whose identity was concealed \u2013 detailed his experience with the brand and explained why he felt he had been \u2018date raped\u2019 at an event hosted by the boss and his partner Matthew Smith.<\/p>\n
Referred to as Alex in the documentary which aired on Monday night, the young man claimed that he was brought to Marrakech to dance and model after he was forced to perform oral sex.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When he arrived, he said that he was summoned off the stage and decided to lie down in one of the back rooms of the venue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He then said that he couldn\u2019t remember falling asleep and woke up to find a loose condom in his anus.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Following his unsettling discovery, the man believed he had been \u2018raped\u2019 and that the condom had fallen off during the act but that his assailant had continued inserting themselves inside him while he was asleep.<\/p>\n
He did not say who his assailant was and there were a number of people who might have been responsible. <\/p>\n
Later on in his interview, he revealed that after his trip he became unwell and developed rashes on his skin, which led him to get checked at a clinic.<\/p>\n
Alex shared that he was HIV positive and added that he felt the only time he could have contracted the disease was during his time in Marrakech as he always practised safe sex.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to the BBC, Mr Jeffries and Mr Smith did not respond to their repeated requests for comment with regard to the allegations made in the film.<\/p>\n
An Abercrombie & Fitch Co spokesperson said: \u2018We are appalled and disgusted by the behavior described in the allegations against Mr Jeffries, whose employment with Abercrombie & Fitch Co. ended in 2014, nearly ten years ago.<\/p>\n
\u2018Speaking up and coming forward is not easy, and our thoughts are with those who bravely raised their voices. <\/p>\n
\u2018Since being contacted by the BBC, we have engaged an outside law firm to conduct an independent investigation into the issues raised.<\/p>\n

\u2018The company\u2019s current executive leadership team and board of directors were not aware of the allegations of sexual misconduct by Mr Jeffries.<\/p>\n
\u2018For close to a decade, a new executive leadership team and refreshed board of directors have successfully transformed our brands and culture into the values-driven organization we are today. <\/p>\n
\u2018We have zero tolerance for abuse, harassment or discrimination of any kind.<\/p>\n
