France’s Epstein Investigation Expands as New Victims Come Forward (5/18/26)

French prosecutors investigating Jeffrey Epstein’s activities in France say roughly ten previously unidentified women have recently come forward claiming they were victims connected to Epstein or his wider network. Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said the total number of people who have now contacted investigators has climbed to around twenty after French authorities publicly encouraged potential victims earlier this year to speak out. The renewed French investigation was launched after the release of additional U.S. investigative files related to Epstein, prompting authorities in Paris to revisit allegations tied to crimes committed in France or involving French nationals.

The French probe is now expanding beyond simple trafficking allegations and is examining a broader web of facilitators, recruiters, and financial connections surrounding Epstein’s operations in Europe. Investigators are reportedly revisiting old leads involving figures like French modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, who had long been accused by multiple women of helping recruit vulnerable young girls into Epstein’s orbit before his death in a Paris jail in 2022. French magistrates are also reviewing testimony connected to Epstein’s Paris apartment near the Arc de Triomphe, where authorities believe parts of the trafficking operation may have been coordinated. Prosecutors described the investigation as a “labyrinth,” with victims identifying additional names and connections as authorities attempt to map out the full scope of Epstein’s network inside France.
