Activities
Early background
Being a real estate broker was not for him he started scouting young girls.[2] 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 modelling 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.[3][4]
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.[5]
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.[6] Eileen Ford (of the New York-based Ford Modelling 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.[7]
Zoe Brock, a 17-year-old model, was also sent by an Australian agency to Brunel's home in Paris for work in the early 1990s, Brock told Fox News that she, too, was immediately subject to Brunel's unwanted advances, and she later even discovered a spyhole built into the bathroom. But when it became clear to Brunel that she was not going to sleep with him despite the persistence, Brock recalled, she was kicked out. She believes Brunel has high-level government connections – hence why his alleged behavior continued unchallenged for decades.[8]
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.[9]
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.[10] 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.[11]
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.

“This sampling reveals that Maxwell, “GM,” took messages at the residence, including
from underage girls who were calling to schedule a time to come over to see Epstein. This demonstrates that Maxwell was at Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion in 2004 and 2005, incidentally a time period she has denied being around the house in her deposition. See supra GIUFFRE001412; 001435; 001449. The messages also reveal that multiple “girls” were leaving messages that were being taken and memorialized and left out in the open for anyone to see. Certain messages also make clear that a number of these “girls” were in school. In addition to taking messages herself (and the staff working under her direction taking these relevant messages), staff employees were taking and leaving messages for Defendant. This is evidence that Maxwell was in the house at relevant times, including times that she has now testified under oath that she was not there. Other messages demonstrate Epstein and Maxwell’s friends, including Jean Luc Brunel, leaving messages relating to underage females. The following is a
small sampling of such messages.”
New York Court (2019) [13]
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.[14] [15]
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.[16]
Brunel was last seen in public at the Paris Country Club on 5 July 2019.[17] 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.[18]
