Modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel close to Jeffrey Epstein found dead in French Jail
March 02, 2022
A modelling agent who was close to disgraced US
financier Jeffrey Epstein has been found dead in his French jail cell, where he
was being held in an investigation into the rape and sex trafficking of minors,
according to the Paris prosecutor's office.
Paris police are investigating Jean-Luc Brunel's death at the historic
La Sante prison in Paris, the prosecutor's office said.
Victims of his alleged abuse described shock and dismay that the
75-year-old, a well-known model scout in the 1980s and 1990s who ran different
agencies in Paris and New York, will never face trial.
They called his death a double blow after Epstein killed himself in
2019 in a Manhattan jail while awaiting sex-trafficking charges.
Brunel's lawyers suggested Saturday that he, too, killed himself.
