Modeling agent close to Epstein found dead in French jail
ARIS (AP) — A modeling agent who was close to disgraced U.S. financier Jeffrey Epstein was found dead Saturday 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.
Victims of the alleged abuse described shock and dismay that the 75-year-old agent, Jean-Luc Brunel, will never face trial. They described his death as 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.
