“Sexual exploitation does not discriminate based on gender,” attorney Brittany Henderson told CNN in a statement. “Men have been exploited in the modeling and fashion industries for decades. The movement ignited a fire in our country that empowered survivors to come forward and be heard. This case is paramount to expanding the movement across genders into the movement, and eradicating s*xual exploitation in the entire industry, starting with Abercrombie & Fitch.”

Dozens of men have filed a class action lawsuit alleging Abercrombie & Fitch was complicit in a multi-decade-long s*x trafficking scheme carried out by the fashion company’s former CEO.

"The offender may take control of the victim's financial resources, such as their job and income. They might cash the victim's checks without permission or intentionally damage their credit score," Beverly Harzog says. This manipulation is aimed at restricting the victim's access to money and reinforcing the perpetrator's control.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and while physical and emotional abuse is often the focus, one aspect that often goes unnoticed is financial abuse.
