Jeffries, 80, who led Abercrombie from 1992 to 2014, entered his plea to one count of sex trafficking and 15 counts of prostitution before US Magistrate Judge Steven Tiscione in Central Islip, New York, in that state's Suffolk County.
Mr Brian Bieber, a lawyer for Jeffries, entered the plea on his client's behalf.
Jeffries wore a navy blue blazer and light grey shirt with no tie to his arraignment, and stared directly ahead much of the time, with his fingers intertwined.
He will remain free on a US$10 million (S$13.2 million) bond, with his home in Fishers Island, New York, as collateral, but is subjected to home confinement with GPS monitoring.
James Jacobson, an employee of Jeffries, pleaded not guilty through his lawyer to the same charges. His bail also includes home confinement and GPS monitoring, and a US$500,000 bond.
