Jean-Luc Brunel Found Dead - Epstein's Procurer Hanged in Paris Prison Cell
“I am in shock and disappointed.”
UPDATE #3
UPDATE #2
Le Monde had a reaction from Brunel’s lawyers, Mathias Chichportich, Marianne Abgrall, and Christophe Ingrain. They said that Brunel’s decision “was not guided by guilt, but by a profound feeling of injustice.” They say that Brunel never stopped proclaiming his innocence, and his distress was that of a 75 year old man “crushed by a media-judicial system that it’s time to question.”
UPDATE #1
20Minutes reported that an investigation into Brunel’s death had been opened by 3rd District of the judicial police. They also said that the Paris court had confirmed the modeling agent’s death.
Jean-Luc Brunel, the notorious modeling agent who was being held for the rape of a minor in a prison cell at the La Santé Prison in the 14th arrondissement in the south of Paris, was found dead around 1 A.M. Saturday morning.
His body was discovered by a regular night patrol, reported the Daily Mail.
A doorman at the prison, reached by telephone, said he didn’t have the right to comment either way when asked about the death of the prisoner.
Thysia Huisman, who accused Brunel in 2019 publicly of having drugged and raped her when she was just 18, said she was “in shock and disappointed.”
She first heard the news from a friend in France, then her lawyer, Anneclaire Lejeune, who represents several of Brunel’s victims in France.
This is a developing story.
