WhoTF is Jean Luc and what kind of trafficking work did he do with our convicted felon prezidunt. Someone said on a Reddit post that Siad worked as a hotel concierge, where he procured girls for guests. Who knows? I don't. I do know that we need to educate girls/women that men are dangerous.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Luc_Brunel

He gained prominence by leading the international modelling agency Karin Models, and founded MC2 Model Management, with financing by Jeffrey Epstein. The subject of a 60 Minutes investigation in 1988, Brunel faced allegations of sexual assault spanning three decades.

Brunel came under scrutiny for his ties to Epstein, with whom he worked from the early 2000s to 2015. Brunel was accused of grooming young females and of taking part in an alleged sex trafficking operation involving Epstein. In 2019, the French National Police launched an investigation on Brunel after he went into hiding following Epstein's death. He was arrested on 16 December 2020, and French prosecutors charged him with the rape of minors; however, he hanged himself in his cell before his trial could proceed.

In 2002, Brunel was again associated with abuse after Elite supermodel Karen Mulder described to the French press the culture of sexual misconduct and manipulation prevalent in the modeling industry. Virginia Giuffre accused Brunel of having sexually trafficked girls for Epstein. Giuffre claimed in a 2015 affidavit that Epstein bragged to her that he had "slept with over 1,000 of Brunel's girls". Brunel responded by denying involvement in any illegal activities with Epstein, saying, "I strongly deny having committed any illicit act or any wrongdoing in the course of my work as a scouter or model agencies manager." From 1998 to 2005, Brunel was listed as a passenger in flight logs for Epstein's private plane on 25 trips. He was also a regular visitor to the jail where Epstein was held in 2008, with at least 70 recorded visits.

Brunel sued Epstein in 2015, claiming that he and MC2 had "lost multiple contacts and business in the modelling business as a result of Epstein's illegal actions". He also alleged that Epstein had obstructed justice by directing Brunel to avoid having his deposition taken in the criminal case against Epstein by the Palm Beach Police Department. The lawsuit was later dismissed. In 2019, it was revealed that Brunel was among those named in court documents from a civil suit by Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell. The documents were unsealed on 9 August 2019, a day before Epstein's death. Giuffre alleged that she was sexually trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell to several high-profile individuals, including Brunel, while she was underage in the early 2000s. Brunel was last seen in public at the Paris Country Club on 5 July 2019.

It would appear jail hangings are the way to go. If only there were cctv cameras set up to watch over these poor suicidal perverts. However, we do know that somehow they weren’t functioning that day, amirite?

7. Jean-Luc Brunel and Donald Trump were born in the same year

Jean-Luc Brunel and Donald Trump were born in the same year, rose to prominence in parallel industries, inherited wealth generated from Real Estate development and moving into modeling agencies and other ventures that commodified image and power, and moved within the same transatlantic social circuits now defined by association with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

Both men came from families tied to real estate and inherited pathways into elite society—Brunel through his father’s property interests in Paris, Trump through his father’s construction empire in New York. Each used wealth and publicity to dominate image-driven enterprises: Brunel as a modeling agent and recruiter of young women, Trump as a real-estate magnate who expanded into beauty pageants, modeling agencies, and celebrity branding. Their careers unfolded in the same cities—New York, Miami, and Paris—and within the same ecosystem of privilege where money, sexuality, and influence converged. These worlds overlapped not abstractly but through living individuals.

Virginia Giuffre, who was recruited as a teenager by Epstein and trafficked by Maxwell and Brunel, had previously worked at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort spa in Palm Beach, a social environment frequented by Epstein and Maxwell. Virginia Giuffre was 16 years old in 2000 when she was recruited by Ghislaine Maxwell at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club to work for Jeffrey Epstein. Her trajectory exemplifies the degree to which these circles were intertwined: the same venues, intermediaries, and networks linked the property and modeling industries to a broader system of exploitation that operated under the surface of elite society.

Brunel and Epstein ultimately died under suspiciously similar circumstances—both found hanged in custody before trial—and Giuffre died by suicide in April 2025 at her home in Western Australia, leaving their full connections with this network permanently obscured.

like Trump and Casablancas and Epstein.

"Jean-Luc Brunel was accused of grooming young females and of taking part in an alleged sex trafficking operation involving Epstein.[5] In 2019, the French National Police launched an investigation on Brunel after he went into hiding following Epstein's death.[5] He was arrested on 16 December 2020, and French prosecutors charged him with the rape of minors;[6] however, he hanged himself in his cell before his trial could proceed. [7]"

These 'agencies' seem in retrospect like these rich guys tricking girls into trafficking with the promise of a modeling contract.

BTW, one of these "owners" was Paolo Zampolli who "recruited" Melania and traded her off to Trump.

The president’s model agency, home to Yasmin Le Bon and Isabella Rossellini, is shutting up shop. But will anyone be sad to see it go?

https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/shortcuts/2017/apr/11/trump-model-agency-closing-mother-jones

Tue 11 Apr 2017

Of course Donald Trump has a modelling agency – it is the most obvious thing in the world – but it looks as if he may not have it for much longer. Trump Models, according to the US magazine Mother Jones which obtained an email from its president, Corinne Nicolas, is about to close as the Trump organisation is “choosing to focus on [its] core businesses in real estate, golf and hospitality”.

It has been a troubled time for the New York-based agency bearing the Trump name, which is not exactly a byword for style, joy and beauty. Last week, it was noted that the agency might be “running out of models” as defections grew, not only of their model clients, but of their agency bookers, too.

The highest-profile resignation came from one of the agency’s better-known models, Maggie Rizer, who took to Instagram a few days before the election, to say: “As a woman, a mother, an American and a human being, I cannot wake up Wednesday morning being the least bit related to the Trump brand.” In February, it emerged that the fashion world had mounted an unofficial boycott of models from the agency, with casting directors being told not to hire them. Before the election, Trump Models came under scrutiny for allegations its models had worked without visas, and for housing them in cramped apartments, sleeping several to a room while charging them high rents.

Trump founded the agency in 1999 (last year, Michael Gross, who has long been writing about Trump – and about the modelling industry – described him as “just another rich guy buying a date farm, perhaps for his friends, perhaps for himself”). Although Trump, who reportedly owns an 85% stake in the company, does not have much to do with the day-to-day running of the agency, he is thought to have been directly involved with organising contracts for some models.
