French model scout (1946–2022)
Jean-Luc Brunel appears extensively across 46 documents with 122 mentions, primarily in court filings and government records describing his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and allegations of procuring young models.
Brunel appears primarily as a subject being discussed in legal documents, victim testimonies, and investigative records. He is described as a French modeling scout who ran MC2 Models and maintained close personal and business ties with Epstein. The documents include visa petitions for his modeling work, message pad entries from Epstein's home showing frequent contact, and witness statements alleging he procured underage girls from Eastern Europe. Attorneys' notes detail attempts to depose him in civil litigation, which he reportedly evaded.
