Anyone who is familiar with the Jeffrey Epstein case will recognize the name of Jean Luc Brunel, a french “modeling agent” who was accused of pimping girls to Epstein and paying girls as young as 14 for sex.
All along, Brunel has maintained his innocence and his french lawyers have said that their client’s apparent decision to commit suicide was not based on guilt but rather because of ill treatment. A judge released the 75 year old months ago in Nov. 2021 but he was re-incarcerated a few days later under what was said to be “deplorable conditions”.
Jean Luc Brunel found dead in French prison cell
He was originally arrested at Paris’ Charles de Gaulle airport in Dec. 2020 for “rape and sexual assault, rape and sexual assault on a minor under 15, and rape and sexual assault on a minor over 15”.
Jean Luc Brunel was found having apparently committed suicide by hanging with bedsheets, in a remarkably similar fashion to his former associate, Jeffrey Epstein, while he was being guarded allegedly. It is not really known whether or not the guards were watching him when this went down, we can only assume that he wasn’t being that closely watched if he could commit suicide and no one be instantly alerted of his attempts.
That being said he was 75 and had been accused of raping underage girls… things usually don’t go too well for those guys in prison general population, but we’ll assume he had some kind of protective custody thing going on since the investigation was ongoing.
Brunel’s arrest was part of a probe launched in 2019 by French prosecutors that targeted Epstein and all of his possible accomplices for “acts of a sexual nature”.
Epstein himself was found dead in his prison cell on Aug. 10th 2019 while awaiting trial at the Metropolitan Correctional Facility in Manhattan after entering a plea of not guilty for charges related to running a sex trafficking ring from 2002-2005 at his Manhattan and Palm Beach home respectively.
Like Brunel’s, Epstein’s death was also ruled a suicide by hanging. While we’re not doubting the medical examiner, the circumstances seem a little… suspicious, to say the least. Stay tuned!!!
