Latest / The Vault: The Epstein Files / Mega Edition: The Death Of Jean Luc Brunel Coincidence Or Something More? (5/15/26)
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. Tonight,
- 0:04we're gonna jump right back into the death of Jean
- 0:07Luke Brunel and try and add a little more context
- 0:10to the situation. And to do that, we have two
- 0:13separate articles that we're going to dig into. One of
- 0:17those articles is from an outlet called twenty minutes in France,
- 0:21and the other article is from the Miami Herald. So
- 0:27we got these two articles, no sense me going along
- 0:29with the monologue? Why don't we just jump right in.
- 0:33The first article we're going to talk about is from
- 0:37the outlet twenty minutes in France. And now remember this
- 0:41is a translated version, so there might be some words
- 0:45or phrases that don't translate correctly. I'll try and navigate
- 0:48through that. But you know, I'm certainly not a language specialist, right,
- 0:53I'm certainly not somebody who's gonna sit here and talk
- 0:56fluent French to you. I'm lucky I can speak English.
- 0:59So all right, that said, let's check out what author
- 1:03Philip Berry has to say about the situation with Jean
- 1:06Luke Brunel. Headline Epstein case found dead in prison. Former
- 1:11model agent Jean Luke Brunell had already made several suicide attempts,
- 1:17and to me, that's an important detail and important context.
- 1:21We had heard a little bit about that, that he
- 1:23might have had previous attempts at suicide, and if that
- 1:28is the case, it leads me to believe that my
- 1:32initial feelings here, my gut feelings, are probably correct, and
- 1:36that he probably tried to kill himself previously, failed in
- 1:40whatever manner, and then was able to do it this
- 1:43time for whatever reason. Now, again that's just the initial reaction.
- 1:50It could totally end up being something different. We'll have
- 1:53to wait for more evidence to be provided, but until then,
- 1:56all we can possibly do is at as much context
- 1:59as possible, right, and then, of course everybody's free to
- 2:01make their own decisions and believe whatever they want to believe.
- 2:05I just think that when you look at everything that
- 2:09we know so far, it certainly is pretty strong as
- 2:13far as the evidence goes, that this man did kill
- 2:17himself again. This article was authored by Philip Barry. His
- 2:24accusers are torn between shock and anger. Placed in pre
- 2:27trial detention for more than a year after being indicted
- 2:30for two rapes of minors, the ex agent of models
- 2:33Jean Luke Brunel, who was suspected of having played the
- 2:36touts for Jeffrey Epstein, was found dead in his cell
- 2:39on the night of Friday to Saturday. So again it's
- 2:43you could see why people would be skeptical about the
- 2:46official narrative. And again, I think that says a lot
- 2:49more about these institutions, about you know, the people who
- 2:53were in charge, who were supposed to be protecting the
- 2:55most vulnerable amongst us, the judicial system, all of that,
- 3:00than it does about the people who are asking these questions.
- 3:03If the government entities and these institutions were honest with
- 3:08the populace, if they at the very least weren't devious
- 3:11and lie about everything, then people might be willing to
- 3:14give them the benefit of the doubt and not automatically
- 3:17jump to these other conclusions of was there other things
- 3:23going on as opposed to a suicide? And you see,
- 3:26so it's not just the people who have those opinions
- 3:29or people who think like that, oh, they're crazy. A
- 3:33lot of it has to do with the eroded trust
- 3:36in the fourth estate and in the institutions that the
- 3:40Fourth of State continues to prop up, like the American
- 3:44child criminal the Frenchman, according to the elements of the investigation,
- 3:50committed suicide by hanging a fatal end in disturbing circumstances
- 3:55that will have to clarify the investigation and trusted to
- 3:58the third District of the Paris Judicial Police, especially since,
- 4:03according to our information, Jean Luke Brunel had tried to
- 4:06end his life several times since he was behind bars. Now, look,
- 4:10if I was playing the devil's advocate here, I could
- 4:12say all of that's bs. He never tried to kill
- 4:16himself all these times while he was in custody. Prove it,
- 4:19and until some proof is provided, then again I'll stay
- 4:22agnostic towards all of it. I don't know what happened.
- 4:25I don't know if he killed himself for sure. I
- 4:28don't know if somebody else killed him. I don't know
- 4:30if a ninja, well, what was snuck in through the
- 4:32air vent or whatever it might be. I have no idea.
- 4:35All I can tell you is, so far, with what
- 4:39I have seen and what my gut is telling me,
- 4:42it looks like this is not as odd as when
- 4:46Epstein clipped himself as far as the focused picture, right,
- 4:51not the overall. If we're looking at the whole entire
- 4:53thing again, it's just another coincidence makes you shake your head.
- 4:56But when you look at it as this incident in itself,
- 5:00him committing suicide and all this stuff leading up to it,
- 5:03it definitely seems like that's a very good possibility. But
- 5:07until there's evidence that's provided to really slam that home,
- 5:12to send that narrative to a place where it's considered truth,
- 5:15then there's going to be questions that are going to
- 5:17be asked. And anybody who's deriding people for asking those
- 5:21kinds of questions, they should be mocked, because we're never
- 5:25going to get to the bottom of any of this
- 5:27if people stop asking questions, or if they feel like
- 5:29they're going to be mocked if they have questions or
- 5:32doubts about these institutions. Contacted by twenty Minutes, one of
- 5:38his lawyers, me Chich Portic. That's what the name says here, folks.
- 5:43Mechichpo r Tich confirms it. During the fourteen months of
- 5:50his pretrial detention in the prison of Health the fourteenth
- 5:54District of Paris, Jean lu Brunel had made several suicide attempts. However,
- 5:59according to the Prosecutor's office, he was not placed in
- 6:03an emergency protection cell CPRU with rounded corners, paper clothes
- 6:11and terrible sheets. These cells very rare, there are only
- 6:15one hundred in French prisons are only used in the
- 6:18face of an eminent risk of suicide for a period
- 6:21of twenty four hours pending hospital care. All right, so
- 6:24let's un unpack that real quick. And again, if I'm
- 6:27playing Devil's advocate, what does that even mean? Why wasn't
- 6:30he in one of these cells? If he had tried
- 6:33to commit suicide a bunch of times previously, why wasn't
- 6:36he in one of these cells with the rounded corners,
- 6:38the paper clothes, the terrible sheets. These are legitimate questions
- 6:43that have to be answered, and they might have legitimate
- 6:46answers that come down, and you know, when the investigation
- 6:49starts or whatever, we'll see. But it's certainly a question
- 6:53that must be asked. Why wasn't he placed in one
- 6:57of these cells? Considering he is such a high profile
- 7:00criminal or inmate like the singer Jean Luc Lahey or
- 7:06the former mayor of Leveron Pere Patrick Balcony Jean Luke
- 7:10Brunel was on the other hand incarcerated in the district
- 7:14for vulnerable people. So I'm guessing that's kind of like
- 7:16the shoe in America. Right, They put you in the shoe,
- 7:20they get you all kinds of protected so that you
- 7:23don't have to deal with the other inmates, people who
- 7:26are violent towards child abusers or whatever, and you go
- 7:30there and you pc up. So I'm guessing this is
- 7:33pretty much the same thing. This VIP section welcomes inmates
- 7:36who are media or likely to face who are media okay,
- 7:40or likely to face violence within the general prison population. Yep,
- 7:44same thing. So it's their version of the shoe. According
- 7:47to the Paris Prosecutor's office, Jean lu Brunell was alone
- 7:50in his cell and he was found dead around one
- 7:52thirty am during a night watch of prison guards. So
- 7:57that gives you a little more context about what occurred
- 8:01there inside of that cell. According to the official narrative
- 8:05that's being pumped by the French police and the French authorities.
- 8:09So that's gonna lead us into our next article here.
- 8:12But I thought that was a pretty interesting part of
- 8:15the narrative that he had attempted the suicides previously, because
- 8:20I think that's very very very important to try and
- 8:22figure out what his motivations were, if he was suicidal
- 8:26or whatever with his death. Right, I think all the
- 8:30cards need to be on the table and we need
- 8:32to be able to look at everything that's available, because
- 8:35it's definitely a coincidence. Right. You look at it and
- 8:39you say to yourself, holy shit. Not again talk about
- 8:41Groundog day. But somehow another high profile inmate and the
- 8:46care of the authorities connected to Jeffrey Epstein ends up
- 8:50at the end of a rope. All right. Our next
- 8:53article is from the Miami Herald, and this article is
- 8:57from Julie K. Brown Robertson and Ben Wheder, and they
- 9:03are also quoting Philip Berry from the article or the
- 9:07outlet excuse me twenty minutes, so that was their source
- 9:11as well. Headline Jeffrey Epstein associated Jean Luke Brunell, ex
- 9:17Miami modeling agent found dead in a Paris cell. Jeffrey
- 9:22Epstein's former business partner and alleged accomplice in trafficking and
- 9:25sexually abusing girls, Jean Luke Brunell, was found dead Saturday
- 9:29in his French jail cell. According to French authorities, the
- 9:33death of Brunell wants a fixture in Miami Beaches modeling
- 9:37industry resembles Epstein's death by hanging in a New York
- 9:41prison cell in August twenty nineteen that was ruled a suicide.
- 9:45See here's where I say allegedly, because when it comes
- 9:48to Epstein's death and Brunell's, for me, there is just
- 9:53way too many unanswered questions with Jeffrey Epstein. Why Until
- 9:57somebody can answer me the question why he was in
- 9:59this with TARTAGLIONI to begin with during his first alleged attempt,
- 10:04then I don't even want to hear from you. I'm
- 10:06tired of wasting time with people who try in gaslight
- 10:09and work their way around the edges. Enough with the bullshit,
- 10:12pull the curtains back. Brunell, seventy six, had been arrested
- 10:18in December twenty twenty and was under investigation on rape
- 10:22and sex trafficking charges. So we know the story right.
- 10:25He was under arrest and he was waiting charges because
- 10:30of the behavior he was involved in with Epstein and otherwise.
- 10:35So he remember with Brunell, it wasn't just his behavior
- 10:37with Epstein. He was on his own being a sick
- 10:39fuck too. And just like Epstein, Brunell had also attempted
- 10:45suicide earlier, the Herald and the French daily newspaper Twenty
- 10:49Minutes have learned. So again, with Epstein, we have the
- 10:54one alleged suicide attempt that's documented, and they're saying this
- 10:59gentleman had several. So when you say several, that leads
- 11:03me to believe that there's some kind of serious mental
- 11:06issue going on here, whereas with Epstein, I don't believe
- 11:10that he allegedly tried to kill himself that first time
- 11:13around in a cell with Nicholas Tartaglioni, who killed associates
- 11:17of the Mexican fucking cartel. This is a guy that
- 11:21should be in the cell with Epstein, huh okay, Yet
- 11:27the modeling agent was not under active suicide watch, known
- 11:31in France as emergency protection. These types of cells with
- 11:34rounded corners, paper clothes and terrible bed sheets are very
- 11:38rare and only meant to be used for an imminent
- 11:41risk for up to twenty four hours until an inmate
- 11:44can be transferred to a psychiatric facility, as the other
- 11:48article explained to us as well, And that's interesting too.
- 11:52So they go to a psychiatric facility here in France
- 11:54if there is an alleged suicide or if there's thoughts
- 11:58of suicide. I think in a there's like a hold, right,
- 12:01I'm not too sure. I'm not really too sure about
- 12:03the process, to be honest with you. Brunell was however,
- 12:07held in the Vulnerable People Area nicknamed VIP quarters for
- 12:11people deemed at risk of facing violence, which is common
- 12:14for sexual assault charges or famous detainees. Now, I'm guessing
- 12:18that over in Europe, while it's probably not as insane
- 12:22as in America, as far as the jail goes, I'm
- 12:25sure that people don't look kindly to abusers, women abusers,
- 12:29and child abusers in prison. So you got a pc
- 12:32up or else sis game on, Like I've talked about
- 12:35a million times here before on the podcast. In America,
- 12:38you hit the yard and you're a chomo and you're
- 12:41getting the green light right away. You don't have to
- 12:44even worry about the other races. Even your own race
- 12:47is gonna thump you out. After a new appeal from
- 12:56his lawyers, Brunell was briefly released following a suicide attempt
- 13:00last Christmas. Well that's nice, hunt, go ahead and commit
- 13:03a suit. I'm gonna make pretend I'm committing suicide so
- 13:06I can get out of jail for a little while.
- 13:07I'm gonna go spend Christmas with my family. Sure that
- 13:10makes his victims feel great, isn't that nice? Good old
- 13:13Jean Luke Brunel got to go spend Christmas with his
- 13:15family because the guy felt suicidal. The custody judge ruled
- 13:21his detention was no longer justified given the status of
- 13:24the prosecution, chich Portach said, But the decision was overruled
- 13:29and Brunel went back to jail a few days later.
- 13:32Oh yeah, you know, it's no big deal. And again,
- 13:35I'm not really like familiar with the French judicial system.
- 13:39I don't know the levels of corruption that are apparent.
- 13:45You know, here in America it's rather obvious that the
- 13:48corruption is at an all time high, and I'm guessing
- 13:51it's like that everywhere else. So again, with the official narrative,
- 13:56the sign so far a point to it probably being
- 13:59a suicide attempt. But I'm not willing to die on
- 14:02that hill or whatever and say, oh yeah, it's definitely
- 14:05that's what happened, because who the hell knows when you
- 14:08re see decisions like this, A judge lets him go
- 14:11home for Christmas just to be overruled and he has
- 14:14to go back a few days later. As if people
- 14:16don't look at that and say, oh, that was orchestrated
- 14:19just for him to go home for Christmas. Good cop,
- 14:22bad cop. Kind of shit. Prosecutors in Paris confirmed Brunell
- 14:27was found hanging in his cell in La Sante in
- 14:30south Paris in the early hours of Saturday morning. I
- 14:35can confirm that mister Brunell was discovered at one thirty
- 14:38am last night dead in his cell. He was alone
- 14:40in the cell. According to the first findings, it is
- 14:44a suicide by hanging. An investigation in search of the
- 14:47cause of death is however, opened, said Antoine Pesmei, a
- 14:51spokesperson for the Paris Public Prosecutor's office. British and French
- 14:56media reported that no cameras recorded the alleged suicide at
- 14:59the jail well, one of the toughest facilities in France,
- 15:02which has both high security and VIP wings that have
- 15:06housed some of the country's most infamous prisoners. So it's
- 15:09you know, serious prison, right, It's not the kind of
- 15:12place that you go if you're not a scumbag. So
- 15:17this guy's housed in this, you know, this prison facility
- 15:20for serious people, I'm sure it's a dreary ass existence.
- 15:23Who the hell wants to live in jail, in prison,
- 15:25especially when you know you're guilty. You see your boy
- 15:28Prince Andrew settle up for big dough. You see Glaine
- 15:31Maxwell go down. Your boy Jeffrey Epstein clipped himself or
- 15:34was clipped. Now you're sitting here, rotten and you're waiting,
- 15:37and you have those thoughts in your head. It's not
- 15:41that far of a leap, folks, Not in my opinion anyway.
- 15:44Brunell's death also comes as a judge in New York
- 15:48is weighing the release in unsealing documents that could shed
- 15:51more light on Epstein's trafficking operation and who was involved.
- 15:55Several people who labeled as John does have been fighting
- 15:58for years to keep their redacted from the document. And
- 16:02you see that quite a bit. Whenever there's a document
- 16:05dump coming in the Epstein case or the Maxwell case,
- 16:08somebody inevitably ends up committing quote unquote suicide. Another coincidence,
- 16:14or Brunel was being held for investigation into allegations that
- 16:21he and others sexually abused in traffic to young women
- 16:23in France over several decades. He was considered a keep
- 16:27part of the case and had reportedly been cooperating with authorities.
- 16:31He had also been speaking to the US authorities. Of
- 16:34course he knew the deal. Look, what did I tell
- 16:36you guys at the very beginning. Okay, these people are
- 16:39not built for this. I know real criminals, right, I
- 16:43know real criminals who have broken down on the stand
- 16:47you proffered up king for the day, the whole entire thing,
- 16:50because they can't take the idea of doing thirty or
- 16:54forty years in prison. And these are hardened street people.
- 16:57You mean to tell me that soft as Sharman asked,
- 17:01Gallaine Maxwell and seanlul Brunell are built for this life.
- 17:06Of course he's talking to the authorities. Of course he's
- 17:08looking to cooperate. It almost seems like the entire ring
- 17:14of people who are doing this that their conscious is
- 17:17getting the better of them now that they are being
- 17:19held accountable for their actions, said Spencer Covin, an attorney
- 17:23who has represented several of Epstein's survivors. Of course, the
- 17:27alternative conspiracy theory is that it's like someone is trying
- 17:30to clean up shop. And again, look, I'm not gonna
- 17:33sit here and say, oh, that's just completely bogus that
- 17:35you can't even entertain that idea. You remember who we're
- 17:38dealing with here, Remember you know all that CIA ties
- 17:42and all that stuff. Remember who we're dealing with here.
- 17:46So I'm certainly not comfortable saying, oh, well, there's no
- 17:49doubt in my mind this is definitely a suicide. And
- 17:52as far as conspiracy theory, I don't even know if
- 17:54i'd call it that. At this point, Who the hell
- 17:56knows what's occurring. When it comes to what went down
- 17:59in this, We're gonna have to wait for a lot
- 18:02more information to come out, right, We're gonna have to
- 18:05see more. Since Brunell's arrest, many women came forward to
- 18:11French authorities to report abuse, including Thiia Husman, a Dutch
- 18:15former model who said she was raped by Brunel as
- 18:18a teen. It makes me angry because I've been fighting
- 18:22for years, Heusman told the AP. For me, the end
- 18:25of this was to be in court, and now that
- 18:28whole ending, which would help form closure, is taken away
- 18:31from me and That's definitely a big thing with a
- 18:34lot of these survivors and a lot of people who
- 18:36go through this kind of abuse, they don't ever get
- 18:39the closure that they deserve because unfortunately, a lot of
- 18:43times these people get away with it. And especially when
- 18:46we're talking about people at the very top of the
- 18:48wrong how many times are these people really held accountable
- 18:51for anything? Oh, every now and then they'll throw you
- 18:54a sacrificial lamb, Right, you'll get yourselves a Bernie mate
- 18:57off every now and then. But just take a look
- 19:00at the robber barons and the way they pillaged everybody's
- 19:03future during the financial collapse. Add on to that the
- 19:07transfer of wealth from the bottom up during this pandemic,
- 19:11and I mean, how can anyone have any faith in
- 19:13these people? One of Epstein's main recruiters. More than a
- 19:17decade ago, Epstein gave Brunell a million dollar line of
- 19:21credit to start MC two. Brunell, a legendary modeling scout
- 19:26who had worked for decades in New York and Paris,
- 19:29has long been rumored to have aided and participated in
- 19:32Epstein's Abusive Girls. Now, for those of you who've listened
- 19:36to the podcast, you've heard me to refer to him
- 19:38as the consigliari, right, Epstein, the boss of the operation,
- 19:42Glenn Maxwell under boss, this scumbag Consiglieri. He was not
- 19:47just a recruiter. He was part of the nexus, the brain,
- 19:53if you will, and him Maxwell, Epstein, probably Prince Andrew
- 19:58were so close that it's not even funny. Just look
- 20:00at the pictures of Jean Luke Brunell and Galagne Maxwell
- 20:04on the island together. Prior to MC two, Brunell had
- 20:10run the New York office of the famed modeling agency
- 20:13Karen Models for much of the nineteen nineties. Brunell claimed
- 20:17to have an uncanny eye for talent and took credit
- 20:19for discovering a number of supermodels, including Christy Turlington, Jerry Hall,
- 20:25Rebecca Romain, and Mila Djoviovich, though other agents have also
- 20:29taken credit for discovering them. It's all about credit with
- 20:32these people, right, Oh I discovered this one. Oh I
- 20:34discovered that one. Here's an idea, Why don't you do
- 20:37something worthwhile yourself. One of Epstein's accusers, Virginia Roberts, said
- 20:43Brunell was one of Epstein's main recruiters of girls, and
- 20:47he would often lure them from other countries by obtaining
- 20:50work visas for them for modeling. No shit, that was
- 20:53one hundred percent one of their scams. And just take
- 20:56a look at how many of these girls were brought
- 20:58over here, how many of them went and stayed at
- 21:01the building on sixty six, and how many times the
- 21:04accusations have come forward about sham marriages to get people's citizenship.
- 21:09What do you think? This is all just a big joke,
- 21:11And it's funny because the legacy media is just trying
- 21:14to catch up at this point, We've literally been talking
- 21:16about all of this stuff for like two years now.
- 21:21Jeffrey Epstein has told me that he has slept with
- 21:23over a thousand of Brunell's girls. Roberts wrote in a
- 21:25court affet David filed in twenty and fifteen. She said
- 21:29the men loved orgies with kids, that is, having sexual
- 21:32interactions with many young teenagers at the same time. Sometimes
- 21:36as many as ten underage girls would participate in a
- 21:39single orgy with them. I personally observed dozens of these orgies.
- 21:43Terrifying What about all of these unnamed girls, ten girls
- 21:46at a time in these orgies? What happened to all
- 21:48of these girls, Where did they end up? Where did
- 21:50their stories go? Maritza Vasquez, Brunell's former bookkeeper in Miami Beach,
- 21:58told The Miami Herald in two thousand and night nineteen
- 22:00that MC two wasn't really a functioning modeling agency, but
- 22:04was more a vehicle for steering young women recruited to
- 22:06the agency to parties at Epstein's mansion in Palm Beach
- 22:10and New York. And wasn't a successful business, of course not.
- 22:13It was a front like everything else they do. Remember
- 22:16Walter White's car wash and breaking Bad, Yeah, same thing.
- 22:21The only reason mister Epstein was involved was because of
- 22:24the girls. I think because it was not because it
- 22:27was not a profitable business. Vasquez told The Herald he
- 22:30wanted it to be his own ground for finding women, right,
- 22:35a fertile ground for looking for women. Brunel's death comes
- 22:40days after Prince Andrews settled a lawsuit with Roberts, who
- 22:44said the Prince sexually abused her when she was under
- 22:47age at multiple homes owned by Epstein, and it comes
- 22:52two months after Glene Maxwell, Epstein's former girlfriend and co conspirator,
- 22:56was found guilty of five of six charges related to
- 22:59sex trafficking of minors. She is appealing her conviction, but
- 23:03her sentencing is scheduled for June. So again, Maxwell's still
- 23:08embroiled in this whole entire thing, right with jur number fifty,
- 23:12which certainly seems to not have the legs that once
- 23:14had considering the whole entire situation with the sealed documents,
- 23:19and then when they get unsealed, it has nothing even
- 23:21do with that. So Maxwell is on her own shit
- 23:24right now, and obviously we're gonna keep an eye on that,
- 23:26but she is as good as cooked in my opinion, folks.
- 23:32Epstein was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan
- 23:35Correctional Center in Manhattan, where he was awaiting trial on
- 23:38charges of sex trafficking underage girls, mainly in Palm Beach,
- 23:42where he owned a mansion. He was accused, along with Maxwell,
- 23:46of building a sexual pyramid scheme involving middle and high
- 23:49school middle age excuse me, middle school and high school
- 23:52girls in the two thousands. So we all know the story.
- 23:57This scumbag and Glenn Maxwell, they I've got what was
- 24:00coming to him at the end of the day. Obviously,
- 24:03just like with Brunel, Epstein should have had to stand trial.
- 24:06But this guy is an absolute, all time piece of shit.
- 24:11Doctor Michael Bodden, an expert in prison excuse me. The
- 24:15New York Medical Examiner ruled his death a suicide by hanging,
- 24:18but his brother, his lawyer, and a noted forensic pathologist
- 24:22hired by his estate said they believed he was killed.
- 24:26Doctor Michael Bodden, and expert in prison deaths, told the
- 24:29Miami Herald that various bones in Epstein's neck were broken,
- 24:32including one year the Adams Apple called the hyoid bone.
- 24:36Now I've uploaded an episode about doctor Michael Boden and
- 24:40what he had to say. I think I have another
- 24:43one in the archives. I'll dig for that and see
- 24:45if I do, And if I do, I'll upload that
- 24:47one as well. Though damage to that particular bone is
- 24:51more common in cases of strangulation, medical experts also said
- 24:55the bone could be damaged under different circumstances in an
- 24:59older person. Epstein was sixty six. There always has to
- 25:02be a caveat right for the official narrative. But oh,
- 25:06this is what really looks like happens. But here's the
- 25:09official narrative, and here's the caveat his death led to
- 25:13a spate of conspiracy theories. Again, how is it a
- 25:16conspiracy theory? Has anything been proved yet? I mean, and
- 25:19if it has, let me see the proof. I know,
- 25:21people were running around The New York Times had an
- 25:24article out, Oh look, birthday, he killed himself. Okay, sure, buddy,
- 25:28right his He died one day after a federal court
- 25:34unsealed nearly two thousand pages of documents that offered sordid
- 25:38details of the alleged trafficking of girls by the financier
- 25:42and his ex girlfriend Maxwell co conspirator. You mean, it
- 25:46is not known whether Maxwell has offered to cooperate with
- 25:49authorities who are investigating other possible co conspirators. There's a
- 25:53little gem for you folks there. Remember I always talk
- 25:55about the grand jury that's still unpaneled. Well, the Miami
- 26:00Herald right there, is just confirming that for us. Covin
- 26:04said that the timing of Brunell's death is a hell
- 26:07of a coincidence. It's almost like it's someone who's trying
- 26:10to send a message to Glaine to shut up. Look again,
- 26:14how can we just automatically discount that option. I'm certainly
- 26:18not going to do it, and I'm going to continue
- 26:21to look at the evidence whichever way it is. If
- 26:25the evidence starts to point to things looking a bit
- 26:27more mysterious, then the official narrative is pumping. Then we're
- 26:31definitely gonna dive in and pull that thread, because at
- 26:35the end of the day, what everybody wants is answers,
- 26:38and the governments around the world, especially when it comes
- 26:42to Epstein and his friends, they have not been forthcoming. Vasquez,
- 26:47who worked with Brunell for eleven years, questioned whether Brunell
- 26:50killed himself or was killed the same thing happened with
- 26:53Epstein and somebody probably kills Jean Luke two. Basquez said
- 26:57Glane Maxwell is going to be next to commit suicide
- 27:00in jail. They're going to kill her also because they
- 27:02have to disappear these people to protect the big fish. Look,
- 27:07let's just be honest. That's what everybody's thinking, right. I
- 27:10try not to chase my own biases, of course, because
- 27:13I feel like that's very harmful and it doesn't do
- 27:16anyone any good here if I'm just chasing what I
- 27:19want to be the truth. So I try to keep
- 27:21an open mind and not chase my biases. But it's
- 27:24very hard to discount what this gentleman is saying here about,
- 27:27you know, doing some cleanup work. Vasqua has described Brunella
- 27:33and Epstein as good friends who both had an appetite
- 27:36for young girls and use the agency as a recruiting pipeline,
- 27:40especially for poor girls from Brazil and Eastern Europe. So
- 27:45I know it's a probably not a high likely likability.
- 27:51I mean, but if anybody's out there and they're from
- 27:54Brazil or Eastern Europe and they dealt with Jeffrey Epstein,
- 27:58I think now's the time to come forward. You'll find
- 28:01yourself with a lot of people who are not going
- 28:05to judge you at this point, right and willing to listen.
- 28:08So my advice to anyone who has been caught up
- 28:11in a case with these people, are caught up with
- 28:13Jeffrey Epstein and they haven't come forward yet, get in
- 28:16touch with somebody like Bradley Edwards or something, because I
- 28:19think that people like that, Bradley Edwards and even the
- 28:22Spencer coven Cat. I think these are the kind of
- 28:25people that Epstein and his remnants fear because they're the
- 28:29kind of lawyers that don't stop. Epstein told Vasquez at
- 28:34the MC two launch party that he admired Donald Trump's
- 28:37Team Models agency and aspired to have one just like it.
- 28:41Oh yeah, that's nice. Huh, two peas in a pod.
- 28:46I'm sad to hear of Jean Luke's deaths, said Vasquez,
- 28:48who named Brunel godfather of one of her sons. I
- 28:51think for the most part, he wanted to help these
- 28:53young models and their families. The fact that his friend
- 28:56Epstein was an evil person doesn't mean he was evil,
- 28:59So it's always to that right, It's always just Epstein.
- 29:02No one else was involved. Jeffrey Epstein did all of
- 29:04this himself, facilitated all himself, groomed them all himself, flew
- 29:08around Europe and found them all himself. I mean, come on, man.
- 29:14On Twitter Saturday, Robert said she was disappointed she wasn't
- 29:17able to see Brunell face justice. The suicide of Jean
- 29:21Luke Brunell, who abused me and countless other girls and
- 29:24young women, ends another chapter. I'm disappointed that I wasn't
- 29:27able to face him in a final trial and hold
- 29:30him accountable, but gratified that I was able to testify
- 29:34in person last year to keep him in prison. And
- 29:37that's definitely a huge deal for her right. She might
- 29:40not have been able to see him, you know, all
- 29:42the way through here and see him get sentenced and convicted,
- 29:45but it was her testimony that had him in that
- 29:47jail cell in the first place. Although some former models
- 29:52allegedly abused and exploited by Brunell are disappointed he will
- 29:56not go to trial, Zoe Brock said her reaction was
- 29:59good rid to an irredeemable person, a nauseating little garden
- 30:03gnome who was never going to admit wrongdoing and was
- 30:06never going to name names. So look, that's somebody who
- 30:09knew him. Right again, I didn't know the guy. All
- 30:12we have to go on is what others are telling us.
- 30:16Brock said she was seventeen when she met Brunell in
- 30:18nineteen ninety one, when our agency in New Zealand sent
- 30:21her to Paris to work for him. She joined other
- 30:24young models bunking in the maid's quarters at Brunell's ornate
- 30:28Avenue housh apartment, where they had to constantly fend off
- 30:32his advances and his offers of cocaine, and were expected
- 30:35to party with him and his wealthy businessmen pals at
- 30:39nightclubs and that's when the grooming process would begin, right,
- 30:42He'd get them all ready to go. Look, this is
- 30:44law part of your job going out with these guys.
- 30:46If you want to get a modeling gig. This is
- 30:47how it works. So then he sends them to New
- 30:50York to Epstein, and they get out on the circuit,
- 30:52don't they. Housman stayed in the park in that model's room.
- 31:01Stayed in that model's room too, and said she woke
- 31:04up one morning to Brunell's bed, certain that he spiked
- 31:07her drink and raped her. Five years after she was
- 31:10able to leave Brunell in Paris behind by finding work
- 31:13through other agents, Brock was accosted by a naked Harvey
- 31:17Weinstein in a hotel room at the Cannes Film Festival.
- 31:22I mean, really, whatn't the hell man? How in the
- 31:25hell are all of these scumbag people able to conduct
- 31:29themselves the way they do for so long before anybody
- 31:32else them. I will just never understand it. The next winter,
- 31:36she met Donald Trump when she was twenty when she
- 31:39and twenty five other models working in Miami Beach were
- 31:42paid to attend what she described as a disgusting party
- 31:45for older men at mar A Lago. Brock was in
- 31:48the group of more than thirty women in the Me
- 31:50Too movement who accused Weinstein of sexual misconduct and reached
- 31:55a twenty five million dollar settlement with him and his
- 31:58bankrupt film studio. Whether it's Epstein, Weinstein, Brunell or any
- 32:03other predator, there are dozens and dozens who conspired to
- 32:07help them, and they have escaped justice. She said, we
- 32:10may have changed the parameters for sexual assault trials, but
- 32:13we haven't changed creepy men. We've only made them more careful.
- 32:17She's not wrong about that. We've talked about this a
- 32:19million times. How many more Epstein's are out there? How
- 32:22many more sick fucks just like this dude are out there,
- 32:24conducting their business the same way and treating people like
- 32:28absolute trash. Epstein and Brunell were made for each other.
- 32:35They were both perverted criminals. The only consolation is they
- 32:38spent their last days in jail feeling scared. Yeah, look,
- 32:43that is some consolation, right, of course, the best outcome
- 32:46would be to try these people, indict them, convict them,
- 32:50and have them spill all of the names. That didn't happen,
- 32:55So let's hope moving forward as this investigation continues into
- 33:00the other co conspirators that we are granted some more
- 33:04clarity in all of this murky water. All right, everybody,
- 33:09that's gonna do it for tonight's update. Like usual, some
- 33:13context episodes are on their way, and then tomorrow morning
- 33:16we'll be back at it picking it up for the
- 33:18morning update to see where everything stands. If you'd like
- 33:22to contact me, you can do that at Bobby Kapuci
- 33:24at ProtonMail dot com. That's bo bb Y c ap
- 33:28you Cci at ProtonMail dot com. You can also find
- 33:33me on Twitter at Bobby underscore cap you Cci. The
- 33:39links that we discussed in this episode can be found
- 33:42in the description box. All right, everybody, have a great
- 33:45night and I will be back tomorrow. What's up, everyone,
- 33:49and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. Tonight we're gonna
- 33:53jump right back in to the death of Jean Luprunel
- 33:57and hopefully add a little more context. Since this guy
- 34:01has been found in his jail cell, there has been
- 34:04a ton of questions obviously about what happened, and since
- 34:09then we have gotten some information, but as usual, we
- 34:13don't have the full picture about what occurred. We don't
- 34:15know exactly what went down in that jail cell, so
- 34:18of course there's going to be a bunch of speculation.
- 34:22And from where I'm sitting here in the Peanut Gallery,
- 34:26I don't know how anyone can say one way or
- 34:28the other what went down here. There is just not
- 34:31enough there yet as far as information is concerned, for
- 34:34me anyway to come to a conclusion one way or
- 34:37the other. Like I explained on the other episode we
- 34:41did on Jean lu Brunel the other day, it's different
- 34:44with the Epstein situation, considering all of the coincidences that
- 34:49led up to that, the fact that he was in
- 34:51that jail cell of Tartaglioni and the rest of it.
- 34:54Whereas here it just looks like this guy kind of
- 34:58timed it correctly right when the guards were doing their
- 35:01rounds and was able to clip himself. And even in
- 35:05the Epstein case, I am more than willing to believe
- 35:10that he killed himself as well if the evidence is
- 35:13provided for me, that's the most important part, Right where
- 35:17is the evidence? Where does it lead us? I don't
- 35:19want to run around looking like some kind of yahoo
- 35:22chasing my tail like a lot of these other people do.
- 35:24Who has time for that shit. This is already way
- 35:27too time consuming for me, never mind chasing down weird
- 35:30conspiracy theories all over the place. So I'll let other
- 35:33people do that and I'll just chill here and remain
- 35:36agnostic and take the information as it comes and then
- 35:40process it and try and come up with a logical conclusion.
- 35:44So that's why it's so important to continue to add context,
- 35:47to continue to add even just if it's one little gem,
- 35:51got to add it to the catalog, because that could
- 35:53be the key to making everything more clear. Right, So
- 35:58tonight that's what we're going to attempt to do. And
- 36:01unfortunately breaking news, we don't have any breaking news. That's
- 36:05not what I do here. I process the news, I
- 36:08curate the news, and we discuss it. But what I
- 36:10try to do is add as much context as possible.
- 36:13That way, you folks are armed and prepared when the
- 36:17next article comes out or the next situation pops up.
- 36:21So with that said, why don't we jump into this
- 36:23article from twenty minutes over in France and let's see
- 36:28what author to t Bault Cheber and Philippe Berry have
- 36:34to say. Headline Epstein case the suicide of Jean lu
- 36:38Brunel end of the French part of the investigation, and
- 36:42you would think, right, look, it sounds bad, Oh that's
- 36:46the end of the investigation. But this is what happens
- 36:49when people die. You don't keep investigating them after they're dead.
- 36:52We learned that with Jeffrey Epstein, didn't we So I
- 36:55would expect the same thing to be true here. Now.
- 36:58I don't know if that means the investigation is dead
- 37:01completely in France. We'll have to continue to see what happens.
- 37:04But I don't know what else they have to go
- 37:07on over there, unless, of course they have something on
- 37:09Glenn Maxwell or Prince Andrew or something, then obviously they
- 37:14would keep the investigation open. But I'm not too sure
- 37:16what the process is over here as far as like,
- 37:19do they do the grand jury type deal or you know,
- 37:22I'm the laws are different everywhere, right, so there's all
- 37:25sorts of different nuances and minute details that come into play.
- 37:30So it'll be interesting to see if this is the
- 37:34end of their investigation in you know, completely, or if
- 37:39they'll there'll be some you know, side investigations. Perhaps the
- 37:45death of Jean Luke Brunel undoubtedly marks the end of
- 37:48the investigations in France concerning the Epstein case. Well, there
- 37:51you have it. That's the end of that. So Jean
- 37:54Luke Brunell obviously no longer going to be investigated in France,
- 37:58and according to this art, maybe not even any more
- 38:02investigations at all. For the investigators who have been working
- 38:06on this file for several months, it is a disappointment.
- 38:10It has to be. You know, you think about it,
- 38:12you're one of these cops, one of these honest cops
- 38:15that's out here, that actually wants to make a difference,
- 38:18wants to bag and nab perpetrators like Maxwell and Brunel,
- 38:23put them in prison for the rest of their lives.
- 38:25And then they do that, They put him in prison,
- 38:28put him in jail, and while he's there in custody
- 38:31in their charge, he ends up dead. It has to
- 38:34be frustrating as hell. And you heard from a lot
- 38:37of the police officers who were involved in the original
- 38:41arrest of Jeffrey Epstein in Palm Beach they felt the
- 38:44same way. They were disgusted by all of it, the
- 38:48way it went down, and then obviously Jeffrey Epstein being
- 38:52able to kill himself while in their custody. The police
- 38:56of the Central Office for the Suppression of Violence against
- 38:59the Person spared no effort and carried out more than
- 39:02half a thousand hearings to try to find other women
- 39:05who were allegedly victims of the former French model agent. Wow,
- 39:09so they were pretty busy over here in France. According
- 39:12to this article, more than half a thousand, So more
- 39:15than five hundred hearings to try and find other women
- 39:18who are allegedly victims of Jean Lupurnau. That's pretty significant.
- 39:25I wonder what they came up with. I mean, I
- 39:27guess we'll never know if this investigation is going to end.
- 39:30I'm guessing they'll just ice it, probably never release it
- 39:35for public consumption. Again, I'm not too sure. Is there
- 39:38like a freedom of information Act you can file over
- 39:40in France to get documentation or is it something that
- 39:44when the government says, look it's a rap, it's a rap.
- 39:48So we'll have to see what comes of it. But
- 39:52it is definitely disappointing. And if you think the investigators
- 39:55are disappointed, how do you think some of these survivors feel.
- 40:00And you can't say all of them, right, because some
- 40:02who maybe the statue of limitations has run out on them,
- 40:06or who weren't having their voices heard for whatever reason.
- 40:09I'm sure a lot of them are happy that the
- 40:12dude is dead. I know that's kind of crude to say,
- 40:15but it's the truth. If somebody wrongs you in such
- 40:18a way, it's only natural, and it's only a human
- 40:22emotion for you to want to see them be hurt
- 40:25or punished in some way as well. When he hanged
- 40:32himself in his cell in the prison of Health last
- 40:34weekend in Paris, this close to the American billionaire Jeffrey
- 40:38Epstein was indicted for rape of two women when they
- 40:41were miners, and for sexual harassment on a former babysitter.
- 40:45So again, we know what he was in there for,
- 40:48we know the nature of the allegations against him, and
- 40:52in fact, I won't even call them allegations. That's how
- 40:55confident I am that this shit really happens. There's no
- 40:58gray area here, folks. When there's this many women who
- 41:02come out, this many people who come out, and the
- 41:05writing is on the wall, why even give these people
- 41:08the benefit of the doubt. They don't deserve it. People
- 41:11like him, people like Epstein, they do not deserve it
- 41:15accused of having played the touter for Jeffrey Epstein. Brunell
- 41:20was also placed under the intermediate status of assisted witness
- 41:24for the facts of aggravated human trafficking to the detriment
- 41:27of minor victims for the purpose of sexual exploitation. Now,
- 41:32let that settle in for a minute. Think about how
- 41:36heinous and disgusting of a excuse of a human being
- 41:40you have to be to engage in something like that,
- 41:43aggravated human trafficking to the detriment of minor victims for
- 41:47the purpose of sexual exploitation. There is not a hell
- 41:52hot enough for this dude to burn in in my opinion.
- 41:58But the police suspected Brunell above all of having abused
- 42:01in the nineteen eighties many young women from modest backgrounds
- 42:05to whom he promised a career in modeling and modeling.
- 42:09And that's for sure, that was them. Him and Jeffrey
- 42:11Epstein both used that. And I wouldn't be surprised if
- 42:15Epstein took that right from Brunell's playbook. Let's not act
- 42:20like Brunell met Epstein and then all of a sudden
- 42:22became this predator and this sick fuck these guys were
- 42:25a match made in heaven, right, perfect for each other,
- 42:28talk about fellow travelers and all. So they got together
- 42:33and it was perfect. Jeffrey Epstein he had the money,
- 42:37he had the means, he had the people, and Jean
- 42:41lou Brunell well, he had access to a bunch of
- 42:43vulnerable girls from war torn countries, developing countries, places where
- 42:49poverty is a everyday reality. And this dude had access
- 42:53to all of that and he used his power, he
- 42:56used his prestige to bring those girls into Jeffrey Epstein
- 43:00for all of them to abuse them. So, yeah, there
- 43:04is not a hell hot enough for this sick fuck
- 43:06to burn in. In my opinion, the problem the facts
- 43:10denounced were often prescribed. We would have preferred him to
- 43:14be judged for all his work. It's obvious, confides a
- 43:16bitterly confides bitterly a source close to the file who
- 43:20sees in his gesture a form of confession. Oh, I
- 43:23agree with that, there's no doubt. Look, of course, you
- 43:26want you want to see this through, especially if you're
- 43:28one of the people who were abused. You want to
- 43:30stare this sick bastard down, and you want to know
- 43:33that he's going to prison to rot away for the
- 43:35rest of his life. But short of that, at least
- 43:40this motherfucker ain't running around free. At least he's never
- 43:43going to hurt anybody ever again. And obviously anyone paying
- 43:47attention to the situation knows that this is an admission
- 43:50of guilt. An honest man doesn't do this, An honest
- 43:53man doesn't pay seventeen million dollars to somebody they don't know. Okay,
- 44:03two previous suicide attempts since the beginning of the case.
- 44:06Jean lu Brunell, seventy five, claimed his innocence. Arrested in
- 44:10December twenty twenty at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris
- 44:14as he was about to fly to Senegal. He was
- 44:16remanded in custody. Of course, he said he was innocent.
- 44:19What's he going to say, not but I did it all.
- 44:22I think you guys should take me to whatever the
- 44:24worst prison we have in the country is and let
- 44:26me rot there. Of course he's going to say it
- 44:28didn't do anything. In fact, Jean lu Brunell was so
- 44:31brazen and had such a set on him that he
- 44:33even just tried to blame it all on Epstein. Oh,
- 44:35Epstein did this, Epstein did that, Epstein stole from me. YadA, YadA, YadA.
- 44:41Notice when Epstein was alive, none of that shit was occurring, right,
- 44:45This guy is the ultimate scoundrel, the ultimate coward. And
- 44:50for him to have previous suicide attempts while in custody here,
- 44:56that really is strong evidence to me anyway that this
- 44:59third time was, you know, the successful time that he
- 45:03actually was able to make it work. On February nineteenth,
- 45:10at one point fifty am, guards found him hanged in
- 45:13the cell where he was alone. Despite the intervention of
- 45:16the rescuers, he was declared dead at two h five am.
- 45:19According to our information, during the fourteen months of his detention,
- 45:23Jean Luke Brunel had made two suicide attempts, And again
- 45:27I believe that that's a big part of the story here, right,
- 45:31and what is at least making me lean towards the
- 45:33fact that he probably did kill himself that end. Of course,
- 45:37if there was no one else in the cell with him,
- 45:39then it's a little difficult for him to have been clipped.
- 45:43Right now, if he was found poisoned in there or something,
- 45:46that's completely different. But unless somebody was crawling through an
- 45:49air vent. And again, look, I'm not gonna sit here
- 45:51and say it didn't happen. I have no idea to
- 45:54who I think it's likely. No, not at all. But
- 45:57until we have all of the evidence. Like usual, we
- 46:03have stressed on many occasions that he is in a
- 46:05very degraded state of health. An expert psychiatrist had indicated
- 46:09that there was a risk of particular psychological fragility in
- 46:14the event of prolonged detention. His lawyers, Mattias chich Portach,
- 46:19Mary Anne Abergail and Christoph Ingrain told twenty minutes, so, yeah,
- 46:24obviously right, And again look at the situation with Epstein,
- 46:29And then look over here at Brunel. Epstein's lawyers and
- 46:32everyone around him were saying, ah, it was a whole
- 46:34different story. He wasn't depressed, he wasn't suicidal, he was
- 46:38nowhere near being suicidal, none of it. Whereas Jean lu
- 46:41Brunel and the people around him, including psychiatrists, are over
- 46:45here saying, yeah, dude wasn't right in the head, and
- 46:49he knew the writing was on the wall for this scumbag,
- 46:51and he knew that he was going to spend the
- 46:53rest of his life in prison and the coward that
- 46:58he is, he couldn't take it. He couldn't take the
- 47:00fact that he'd have to own up to the abuse,
- 47:04and he certainly couldn't take the fact that he'd have
- 47:06to pay the price. Detained with other VIPs in the
- 47:10QB four ward for Low Quarter number four, Jean lu
- 47:15Brunel was the subject of a special supervision by the
- 47:17prison staff. In the event that a prisoner has already
- 47:21had suicidal crisis, it may be decided with the medical
- 47:24to set up a special supervision, explains Irwin Seyuti, delegate
- 47:29of the FO Prison Union of the Ill de frant
- 47:32At night will go more regularly to do a check
- 47:35with the islet to make sure that that person is
- 47:37well an average inmate. We will do three visual checks
- 47:41during the night. There will almost double number of controls.
- 47:45But you can't go there every hour either because it's
- 47:48also oppressive for the detainee. You have to find the
- 47:51right balance. Well, this is where I differ. If you're
- 47:55a detainee of high value and somebody who is being
- 47:59held and you're at risk of suicide or someone else
- 48:02hurting you or whatever, you should be under a constant supervision,
- 48:05and if that means a camera in yourself, so bit. Sorry,
- 48:10that's just the way it goes, because if not, we
- 48:12have ourselves a complete shit show. Right, dude, you end
- 48:15up dead. Now. You got all kinds of weird, crazy
- 48:18theories going out there, the narratives thrown into the you know,
- 48:21the washing machine, and it's a whole big problem. So
- 48:25why not just be more cautious and keep an eye
- 48:27on these types of people and then once they're convicted
- 48:30after their trial, then they can, you know, go back
- 48:33to having no camera in their cell, go live in
- 48:35general population, if that's what you want to do. I
- 48:37don't care the second you're convicted, the second that it's
- 48:41all said and done and the state, the people, and
- 48:46the survivors themselves get justice, I don't care what happens
- 48:50to these people. They can go to prison and rot
- 48:52there for all I care. There is no rehabilitation for
- 48:56people like this when it comes to other crimes, just
- 48:59about any crime. I'm all about being rehabilitated and prisons
- 49:04helping people get rehabilitated. But when you're hurting women and
- 49:07children and you're doing it in a careless manner, the
- 49:10way Jean lu Brunel and Jeffrey Epstein were yes, sorry,
- 49:14I don't give a fly and fuck about you presumed guilty.
- 49:19An investigation entrusted to the third District of Judicial Police
- 49:23was opened by the Paris Prosecutor's office to shed light
- 49:27on the causes of his death. In particular, investigators can
- 49:31rely on the images of the surveillance cameras installed in
- 49:34the corridor to ensure that these checks have been carried out.
- 49:38So obviously they're gonna have to go through all of
- 49:40the tape they probably have who knows, and they'll know
- 49:43if these guards were doing their due diligence or if
- 49:45they were sleeping like the cards were who are supposed
- 49:48to be watching Epstein. And we'll get more information obviously
- 49:52as it comes out, But so far it seems like
- 49:56they were on their game and they were doing their
- 49:58checks at least. The results of the autopsy, which was
- 50:02carried out on Monday, are not yet known, although there
- 50:05is almost no doubt that Jean Luke Brunel ended his
- 50:09life alone. Again, if there was no one in that cell,
- 50:12it's going to be a hard cell to get me
- 50:15to believe it, right, I you know, how did someone
- 50:19kill him. If there's no one else in that cell,
- 50:21and if there's video evidence that no one was in
- 50:24or out, all right, well it's a lot more believable
- 50:27than the bullshit they're trying to pump about Epstein. No,
- 50:30and again, I'm not saying that I do believe that
- 50:33this happened. I don't know. Let me see the video myself.
- 50:35At this point, that's where I'm at. According to his lawyers,
- 50:42the man felt that he was presumed guilty and that
- 50:44the media judicial sentence had already fallen. Nothing justified prison anymore.
- 50:49According to the Judge of Freedoms and Detention, and Detention,
- 50:52judicial review would have been the simple and strict application
- 50:55of the law in cases like this. They add, well, look, dude,
- 50:59you don't want to go to prison, and you're depressed
- 51:01because you're in prison. Here's an idea. Don't molest, don't rape,
- 51:05and don't sexually assault people. Then you don't have to
- 51:08worry about going to prison. And as far as being
- 51:10found guilty before bro decades of evidence, plenty of people
- 51:15coming forward. This is in gray area, he said. She said,
- 51:18one person coming forward, you know, no evidence to back
- 51:22it up. None of that at his request, Jean Luke
- 51:27Brunel was to be confronted on March eleventh with two
- 51:30of his accusers, a former babysitter and a foreign model.
- 51:34I didn't think my clients would consent to the confrontation
- 51:37because I know that psychologically it was quite complex. We
- 51:40had started working on it and they wanted to go
- 51:42to the end of the process, past the course and
- 51:45be in the same room as him. It's not easy,
- 51:47he says, their lawyer and Claire Lejeune. So you have
- 51:51two of the people who were accusing him were preparing
- 51:53to confront him in this jail over this these allegations,
- 51:59and with that date quickly approaching, well, you know, it's
- 52:05a real shame. The death of Jean Luke Brunell means
- 52:08the extinction of public action, at least in the part
- 52:11concerning the rape accusations. The same could apply to the
- 52:14part of the case concerning acts of trafficking and human beings,
- 52:18unless other persons were to be implicated, which for the
- 52:21time being is not the case. So again, like we
- 52:25asked at the beginning, is this the end of the
- 52:27case in France? And it certainly looks to be that
- 52:29way of folks for the plaintiffs, it is a feeling
- 52:35of frustration that dominates. Brunell will never have the opportunity
- 52:39to explain himself in court. He was still indicted and
- 52:42remanded in custody. My clients are aware that their words
- 52:46has still been taken into consideration, says Anne Claire Lejeune,
- 52:50before concluding there was a will that went beyond their
- 52:53own interest. They did so for those who denounced prescribed facts,
- 52:58there was something quite strong in their approach. It's a
- 53:01real shame, and it is and we've seen it how
- 53:04many times now, as far as the Epstein case goes.
- 53:07We just saw it with the Supreme Court acting like
- 53:10a bunch of morons not taking this case. We see
- 53:13it here. I mean, you just see it over and
- 53:15over and over again, the lack of justice. And what's
- 53:19so galling about it is all of these people were
- 53:21right there for the federal government to swoop up, for
- 53:24the federal government to punish, and instead they had better
- 53:28things to do, obviously, so people like Epstein and Brunel
- 53:32and Maxwell were able to go on for decades, literally decades,
- 53:36and abuse people. Finally he gets arrested and it's almost
- 53:41time for justice, and this son of a bitch somehow
- 53:45wiggles off the hook once again. So there you have it, folks,
- 53:49a little more context for the death of Jean lu
- 53:52Brunel as much as we have anyway, and I figure
- 53:55the best way to do it is go directly to
- 53:57the source in France and you know, follow the story
- 54:00right along with them. So that's what we'll continue to
- 54:03do here, and we'll continue to add nuggets as they
- 54:05pop up. But one thing is for sure, there is
- 54:08still a lot of questions that need to be answered,
- 54:11and there are still, unfortunately a lot of curveballs coming
- 54:16our way that's gonna do it for tonight's episode. Obviously,
- 54:21some context episodes on their way tomorrow morning. Be right
- 54:24back at it, bright and early, and we'll see where
- 54:27we're at. If you'd like to contact me, you can
