The French model agent Jean-Luc Brunel, close to Jeffrey Epstein, the American financier who died last July, is now implicated in French justice by an old supermodel who accuses him of rape.

At the time, she was just 18, she lives and works in Brussels as a model. In 1991, she was contacted by the agency Karin Models directed by Jean-Luc Brunel . The latter offers him to go to Paris to pursue his career.

The agency of the young woman encourages him to accept the offer. Jean-Luc Brunel also proposes to house the young Dutch girl in her luxury apartment on Avenue Hoche, in the 8th district of Paris.

During his stay, evenings are regularly organized with rich businessmen always accompanied by very young girls, says the model in his mail to the prosecutor. It was during one of these evenings that Jean-Luc Brunel raped her after putting a substance in her glass.

Today, the facts are prescribed and the young woman knows it. His testimony can not lead to proceedings against Jean-Luc Brunel. But for this former supermodel what matters is to bring out the truth about this case.
