Jean-Luc Brunel, the disgraced French modeling agent and close associate of Jeffrey Epstein, was accused in court filings of one of the most disturbing acts linked to the Epstein network — procuring a set of 12-year-old French triplets for Epstein as a “birthday gift.” According to testimony from Virginia Giuffre and other witnesses, Epstein allegedly bragged that Brunel had “bought them from their parents” in Paris by offering money and promises of modeling careers. The triplets were reportedly flown to the U.S., abused for several days, and then returned to France. While Brunel denied any involvement, the story became emblematic of how he allegedly exploited his modeling connections to funnel young girls into Epstein’s orbit under the guise of legitimate work.

The accusations fit a larger pattern of abuse stretching across Brunel’s decades in the fashion industry. He was widely accused of using his agency, MC2 Model Management, which Epstein helped fund, to traffic underage girls from Europe and South America. French prosecutors arrested Brunel in December 2020 on charges of rape and trafficking minors, but before he could face trial, he was found hanged in his Paris jail cell in February 2022 — an eerily similar fate to Epstein’s. His death left many questions unanswered, including the true extent of his role in supplying girls to Epstein and whether the triplets’ story was ever properly investigated.
