Former model agent Jean-Luc Brunel was found dead in custody, sources close to the case said. The 74-year-old Frenchman, an alleged touting of young girls for the benefit of Jeffrey Epstein, the American billionaire now deceased, had been indicted in December 2020 for "rape of minors" and "sexual harassment".
The suspect had also been placed under the intermediate status of assisted witness for acts of "aggravated trafficking in human beings to the detriment of minor victims for the purpose of sexual exploitation".
According to our information, the septuagenarian was found dead by hanging last night in his cell in the Paris prison of Health. He was found around 1 a.m. during the night watch. He could not be resuscitated, says a prison source.
Jean-Luc Brunel did not have an emergency protection cell (Cprou). These cells specially designed to prevent suicide risk, where the inmate is dressed in paper clothes and tear able sheets, are reserved for prisoners in crisis whose suicide risk is imminent.
