The French prosecutor accused the French model, Jean-Luc Brunel, of raping minors and suspected that he was providing girls to the American businessman Jeffrey Epstein.
Brunel, in his 70s, was arrested Wednesday at Paris’ Charles de Gaulle airport on his way to Dakar.
The prosecutor Remy Hitz, in the statement of the prosecution, accused him of “rape of minors over fifteen years” and “sexual harassment”.
The indictment also included “human trafficking” and “harming underage victims for the purpose of sexual exploitation,” in line with US judicial investigations into the sex scandal of Epstein, who committed suicide in prison in August 2019 after be accused of sexual assault on minors.
“This is what female victims have been waiting for several years, some of them for more than 30 years,” said defense attorney for several of Brunel’s plaintiffs, attorney Claire Lejeune.
Brunel faces accusations from at least two women in the United States of playing the role of Epstein’s provider for “young women” from socially modest circles, promising them job opportunities in the modeling business.
