The news of his arrest comes one year after BBC News published an explosive report that said Jeffries exploited men at sex parties he hosted, as Breitbart News reported.
That report said 12 men described attending or organizing events that included sex acts for Jeffries and his partner Matthew Smith, and those events allegedly took place from 2009 to 2015.
Some of the men who spoke to BBC said they were exploited or didn’t participate willingly.
Lawyers for Jeffries and Smith have both previously denied any wrongdoing by both men.
Responding to the latest news, Jeffries’ lawyer told the BBC: “We will respond in detail to the allegations after the Indictment is unsealed, and when appropriate, but plan to do so in the courthouse – not the media.”
