The former chief executive of Abercrombie & Fitch is now fit to stand trial on sex- trafficking and prostitution charges after spending months in hospital, prison officials say.
Mike Jeffries was declared "mentally incompetent" by a court in May and said to be suffering with dementia and late onset of Alzheimer's disease. A judge ordered him to be treated for up to four months to see if he was likely to regain competency.
US prosecutors now say that medical experts have found him competent to stand trial.
Mr Jeffries was arrested and charged last October along with his British partner, Matthew Smith, 61, and their alleged middleman, James Jacobson, 72. All three deny the allegations.
