France Finds 10 New Epstein Victims After February Appeal
6 articles · Updated · Al Jazeera English · May 17
About 10 previously unknown suspected victims have come forward in France’s Jeffrey Epstein probe, Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said, bringing the total number of people who responded to roughly 20.
February’s public appeal for testimony helped draw them out after the US Justice Department released Epstein case files, and investigators are now arranging interviews, including with victims living abroad who must travel to Paris.
French magistrates are examining possible human trafficking offences committed in France or involving French facilitators, and have reopened Epstein’s computers, phone records and address books while preparing international assistance requests.
The inquiry builds on earlier French leads tied to former model agency boss Gerald Marie, late agent Jean-Luc Brunel and scout Daniel Siad, as authorities revisit whether networks around the financier operated in France.
What secrets do Epstein's hidden computers hold about his powerful French connections?
Beyond modeling agents, which other powerful French elites could this investigation ultimately expose?
