With Jeffrey and Ghislaine ...the modelling agent, aged 76, who faced rape trial

EVEN if we knew nothing of them, it’s still a tawdry snap.

This was the repellent triumvirate of Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein and Jean-Luc Brunel. Of the first two – Maxwell the sex trafficker, Epstein the paedophile – little remains unsaid, but the alleged atrocities of the third, French model agency boss Brunel, had not yet seeped into public consciousness before he was found hanged yesterday. Not only was he said to have raped minors, Brunel also offered modelling jobs to girls as young as 12 and took them to the US to ‘farm them out to his friends, especially Epstein’. Virginia Giuffre said Brunel ‘could get dozens of underage girls and feed Epstein’s (and Maxwell’s) appetite for sex with minors’.
