Jean-Luc Brunel, an associate of Jeffrey Epstein, has been arrested for various sex crimes. The Daily Beast. The charges include rape, sexual assault of a child, sexual harassment, human trafficking and criminal conspiracy. Brunel was accused of trafficking girls for Jeffrey Epstein and essentially acting as his pimp through his modeling agencies. French police had opened an investigation into Burnel in 2019 but he had avoided arrest until now. He claimed that he would answer questions and was not on the run.
My Comment:
This is probably the biggest news to break on the Jeffrey Epstein case since Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested. Jean-Luc Brunel was a huge part of Epstein's trafficking scheme and to see him arrested is a very positive development.
Jean-Luc Brunel is a rather famous and powerful person. His activities in the modeling industry were very impactful and he was credited for discovering some rather famous people, including Sharon Stone, Milla Jovovich and Christy Turlington. He was, to be glib, a player. Someone with actual power. And someone that Epstein could use to help further his goals of blackmail and degeneracy.
My hope is the same hope that I had for Ghislaine Maxwell. Brunel needs to cut a deal to save himself. He needs to give us a list of every celebrity, musician and politician that had sex with underaged girls in his presence. These people desperately need to be punished, and not just because of what they did. There are two systems of justice in this country and everyone is sick and tired of the rich and famous getting away with everything.
I am worried that Brunel might not be long for this world. Much like Epstein I think there is a decent chance he commits "suicide" soon. Like Epstein he knows where a lot of the bodies are buried and the rich and powerful likely fear that he will indeed cut a deal. If that's the case he might end up dead in a prison cell just like his friend, Jeffrey Epstein.
On the other hand, Ghislaine Maxwell still breathes. Everyone was afraid that she would was going to die immediately after her arrest but she is still alive and kicking and we even get occasional news updates about how she is doing in jail. If she can survive then I think Brunel might as well.
Finally, I have to say that the media has largely buried the Jeffrey Epstein story. Sure, they give updates on Maxwell but it's mostly a tabloid thing. There hasn't been a serious inquiry into the Epstein affair since the revelations about Prince Andrew came out. What a world we live in where a massive pedophile/blackmail ring gets exposed and it's leader "commits suicide" in prison and now it's hardly even a story...
