Man suspected of supplying underaged girls to Epstein found hanged in prison cell
The former head of a French fashion agency who was under investigation for suspicion of supplying underaged girls to financier Jeffrey Epstein was found hanged in his prison cell on Saturday.
French officials confirmed that Jean-Luc Brunel, 75, was found dead inside his cell and an inquiry has been opened into the incident, though they said early evidence points to suicide, The Guardian reported.
The former fashion boss was arrested in December of 2020 while on his way to Senegal for vacation. He was under investigation for accusations of rape of a minor and sexual harassment following his arrest, the news outlet noted.
In June of last year, a second investigation was opened into allegations of rape of a minor. He was also questioned by investigators about sex trafficking of minors.
Epstein, a disgraced American financier, was charged in 2019 with trafficking underage girls from 2002 to 2005. He was found dead in his cell that year, and the New York City medical examiner later ruled it a suicide.
