Activities

Early background

Being a real estate broker was not for him he started scouting young girls. Brunel joined Karin Models, and founded MC2 Model Management, with financing by Jeffrey Epstein, with offices on three continents. After Brunel was included in a BBC MacIntyre Undercover report on abuse within the fashion industry in November 1999, he was banned from his modeling agency in Europe. A BBC employee was reported to be still looking for prosecution as she was raped while acting undercover for the BBC investigating Brunel's sex trafficking scout clan.[2][3]

Sex trafficking

Jean Luc Brunel - American Girls in Paris - 1988 Diane Sawyer report - 60 Minutes

Brunel was the subject of a seven-month investigation by CBS producer Craig Pyes and reporter Diane Sawyer for 60 Minutes. The investigative segment "American Models in Paris", which aired on 23 October 1988, covered the conduct of Brunel and fellow Parisian modeling agent Claude Haddad.[4]

Several American models who worked with Brunel were interviewed by 60 Minutes and described their experiences of the culture Brunel fostered where the models were routinely drugged and sexually abused.[5] Eileen Ford (of the New York-based Ford Modeling Agency) had sent her models to Brunel for Paris assignments and was interviewed for the program where she claimed no prior knowledge of the multiple complaints from models of sexual exploitation and drug abuse by Brunel.[6]

In 2002, Brunel was again associated with abuse after Elite supermodel Karen Mulder described to the French press the culture of sexual misconduct and manipulation prevalent in the modelling industry.[7]

Epstein

Full article: Jeffrey Epstein

Virginia Giuffre accused Brunel of having sexually trafficked girls for Epstein. Giuffre claimed in a 2015 affidavit that Epstein bragged to her that he had “slept with over 1,000 of Brunel’s girls.[8] Brunel responded by denying involvement in any illegal activities with Epstein, saying, "I strongly deny having committed any illicit act or any wrongdoing in the course of my work as a scouter or model agencies manager." From 1998 to 2005, Brunel was listed as a passenger in flight logs for Epstein's private plane on 25 trips.[9]

Brunel sued Epstein in 2015, claiming that he and MC2 had "lost multiple contacts and business in the modelling business as a result of Epstein’s illegal actions. He also alleged that Epstein had committed perjury by directing Brunel to avoid having his deposition taken in the criminal case against Epstein by the Palm Beach Police Department.

Goodtimes Ghislaine

In 2019, it was revealed that Brunel was among those named in court documents from a civil suit by Virginia Roberts Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell. The documents were unsealed on August 9, 2019, a day before Epstein's death.[10] [11]

Giuffre alleges that she was sexually trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell to several high-profile individuals, including Brunel, while she was underage in the early 2000s.[12]

Brunel was last seen in public at the Paris Country Club on 5 July 2019.[13] After Epstein died, Brunel went into hiding; shortly thereafter, the French National Police launched an investigation into him.In September 2019, his Paris home and offices were searched by French investigators as part of a probe into sex trafficking by Epstein.[14]
