Epstein ex-associate Jean-Luc Brunel placed under formal investigation

19 December 2020

A former associate of deceased US financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has been placed under formal investigation and remanded in custody in France on suspicion of sex crimes.

French modelling agent Jean-Luc Brunel is accused of sexual harassment and the rape of minors aged between 15 and 18.

Mr Brunel, 74, has denied wrongdoing.

Epstein died in a New York prison last year as he awaited trial over allegations he ran a network using underage girls for sex.

"This is what the victims have been waiting for for many years," said lawyer Anne-Claire Le Jeune, who is representing Mr Brunel's accusers.
