Jean Luc Brunel, the modeling agency boss who was accused of scouting young girls for Jeffrey Epstein, has mysteriously vanished like a “ghost” as investigators search the world looking for him, according to the NY Post.
French authorities are trying to find the 72 year old Brunel and question him over his ties to Epstein as part of an ongoing probe into Epstein, who had a house in Paris.
A legal source in Paris said: “He is a ghost who has disappeared without a trace.”
French authorities have made inquiries in places like the U.S. and Europe, as well as Brazil, where Brunel was seen “looking for girls” just three months before Epstein was arrested.
The legal source continued: “There is no address for him, all his internet accounts, including social media, have been wiped out. He is uncontactable.”
Brunel’s connection to the Epstein scandal had come to light in numerous court filings. Epstein had invested $1 million to help launch Brunel’s modeling firm, MC2, in return for a “supply of girls on tap” according to one lawsuit.
Brunel even allegedly sent Epstein three 12 year old girls as a birthday present one year.
One of the most well known Epstein accusers, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, alleged that Brunel “farmed out” his modeling hopefuls to Epstein that she was not only forced to have sex with Epstein, but with Brunel, too.
In 2015, Brunel told the media: “I strongly deny having committed any illicit act or any wrongdoing in the course of my work as a scouter or model agencies manager.”
Brunel is known for discovering some very well known names in the modeling world, including Christy Turlington and Angie Everhardt, and has denied being “directly or indirectly” involved with Epstein.
