EFTA00599859
Sivu 6 / 129
3.
Jurisdiction is proper in the Circuit Court as this action seeks relief in excess of fifteen-
thousand dollars ($15,000).
FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS AS TO DEFENDANT JEFFREY EPSTEIN
4.
Plaintiff Jean-Luc Brunel is the owner of Plaintiff modeling agency known as "MC2
Model & Talent Miami" ("MC2"). MC2 began operations in October 2005 and has offices in
New York, Miami, and Tel Aviv.
5.
Defendant Jeffrey Epstein ("Epstein") is a hedge-fund manager with a residence in Palm
Beach County, Florida. Defendant has been the subject of significant media coverage due to
charges brought against him involving sexual contact with minors. (Composite Exhibit A
attached).
6.
Plaintiff Brunel and Epstein have known one another since the inception of Plaintiff
MC2.
7.
Plaintiff Brunel operated his modeling agency, Plaintiff MC2, without incident until
Epstein was first charged in Palm Beach County with unlawful sexual contact with a minor in
2006. He was convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor and sentenced to eighteen
months in prison, of which he served thirteen months. He remains a registered sex offender in
Florida as of this day.
8.
First, after the initial criminal charges against Epstein were filed in Palm Beach County.
Plaintiffs were widely implicated in the media as being "linked" to Epstein. These false stories
caused both Plaintiffs a tremendous loss of business.
9.
Plaintiffs lost multiple contacts and business in the modeling business as a direct result of
Epstein's illegal actions. For example, several photographers will not work with MC2 due to the
2
EFTA00599860
Sivu 7 / 129
adverse publicity surrounding Epstein and his illegal activities, and the publicity falsely linking Plaintiffs with those activities: namely, sex trafficking. (Composite Exhibit A). 10. One example of such a photographer was Michael Avedon, who worked with MC2 on photo shoots. Avedon stopped answering Plaintiffs' emails and phone calls after having known Plaintiff for some time. Upon meeting Avedon out one night. Avedon stated to Plaintiff Brunel he had "found out some information" from some friends of his and that he could not associate his name with MC2. II. This statement by Avedon was no doubt a reference to the alleged and false links between Plaintiffs and Epstein's illegal activities with under-aged girls. This incident clearly illustrates an example of lost business on Plaintiffs' behalf. 12. The second example of a business relationship that was terminated due to Epstein's intentional and illegal activities was a very recent one, involving an overseas agency, Modilinos Model Agency. The owner stated that the model to be placed with MC2 "found some article in internet. which changed her position and she preferred to be placed with another agency." This was relayed to Plaintiff Brunel by e-mail dated October 15.2014. This amply demonstrates that Epstein's intentional & illegal activities continue to cost Plaintiffs' business income. (Exhibit B attached). 13. A third example of a lost business relationship can be found in an e-mail dated October 17, 2014 (Exhibit C attached). The director of the I Mother Agency, Vladmir Yudashkin, states that a specific model will not sign with Plaintiff MC2 due to her fear that Plaintiffs- will force her into illegal activities. The model bases her fears upon the stories on the intemet falsely implicating Plaintiffs as being involved with illegal activities with young models. This is 3 EFTA00599861
Sivu 8 / 129
another example of a false link between Epstein and Plaintiffs, costing Plaintiffs' business income. 14. A fourth example of a lost business relationship can be found in a second e-mail dated October 17, 2014 (Exhibit D attached). Manuela Martinez of Mega Partners, a Brazilian modeling agency, states to Plaintiff Brunel that her agency has been unable to work with Plaintiff MC2 for the past five to six years because of the sex trafficking allegations against Plaintiffs . This reference is clearly to the false allegations online regarding sex trafficking that were based in the false link between Epstein and Plaintiffs. 15. A fifth example of a lost business relationship can be found in an e-mail dated on behalf was an e-mail dated August 27, 2010 from Michelle Stockman of Agence France Presse. (Exhibit E attached). Agence France Presse is a newswire service with a world- wide reach. Stockman wanted to meet with Plaintiff Brunel to arrange a model shoot with MC2. However, due to the adverse publicity surrounding Plaintiffs as a result of Epstein's illegal activities. Plaintiff Brunel was forced to forego (and lose) this business opportunity because he needed to keep a low-profile at this time. 16. A sixth example of lost business due to Epstein's intentional and illegal activities can be found in an e-mail dated December 12. 2014. (Exhibit F attached). Michael Sanka, a talent scout who had worked with Plaintiffs for a number of years, informed Plaintiff Brunel that he cannot sign any new models for Plaintiff Brunel's MC2 agency due to the false sex trafficking allegations online. Sanka goes on to state that Plaintiff Brunel's MC2 agency will not attract any new models if Plaintiff Brunel does not clear up the false allegations. 17. A seventh example of lost business due to Epstein's intentional and illegal activities can be found in an e-mail from Fox Fashion Agency (Exhibit G attached). This e-mail clearly states 4 EFTA00599862
Sivu 9 / 129
that Fox has placed models with Plaintiff MC2 in the past with absolutely no problems. However, because of the false internet trafficking links between Plaintiffs and Epstein, Fox states that it cannot place anymore models with Plaintiff MC2 until the allegations are cleared up. 18. Before the false links between Plaintiff and Epstein surfaced. Plaintiff Brunel was earning a great deal of revenue from MC2 Miami. 19. The false links between Plaintiffs and Epstein began to surface online in about 2005- 2006. Then, in 2006. Plaintiffs received a letter of credit from Epstein at 5% interest. Plaintiffs then made an investment totaling one-million dollars with Elite Paris. to start a company. 20. Next, Plaintiff Brunel started the company, "E Management". to work with Elite Models in Paris, Plaintiff had to close it almost immediately, because Elite didn't send any models to Plaintiff MC2 for fear of being linked to Epstein. 2I . Because the false links between Plaintiffs and Epstein began to gain strength online. Elite Paris severed the agreement due entirely to these false links. Plaintiff Brunel lost his investment of one-million dollars because of this loss of business. 22. Plaintiffs lost potentially ten-million dollars in profits due to this initial one-million dollar loss. 23. Additionally, a former financial controller of MC2. stated in a 2012 deposition that Plaintiff Brunel had never done anything inappropriate or illegal with any under- age model. (Exhibits HI & H2 -Transcript of Deposition of 24. was fired from her job at Plaintiff MC2 for embezzling company funds. and had criminal charges filed against her (Composite Exhibit I attached). She was also the source of the false information linking Plaintiffs to sex trafficking in the articles written by of the website Jezebel (Composite Exhibit A. p.2-7). 5 EFTA00599863
Sivu 10 / 129
25. The deposition testimony of referred to above clearly demonstrates that Plaintiff Brunel has clean hands and was never involved in sex trafficking. All of Plaintiffs' damages came solely from Epstein's conduct. 26. Additionally. Plaintiff Brunel has had significant delays in obtaining his visa to come to the ■. These delays were also the result of the false link between Plaintiffs and Epstein. As a result of these delays. Plaintiffs lost a considerable amount of time & money. International travel is a significant component of Plaintiff Brunel's MC2 modeling business. Plaintiff Brunel has been forced to cancel his latest visa application as a result of the delays. (Exhibit J — Composite — Visa Docs). 27. As a result of the notoriety and tremendous publicity surrounding Epstein's criminal charges. and the media linkage of Epstein to Plaintiffs regarding illegal activities. Plaintiffs lost a tremendous amount of business and revenue. 28. Plaintiff Brunel's agency MC2 has lost millions of dollars in revenue since the media revealed that Plaintiffs and Epstein were associated. In fact. Plaintiff MC2 was worth millions of dollars; now, due to the illegal actions of Epstein. MC2 is almost worthless. 29. At no time did Epstein ever publicly state that Plaintiffs had no role whatsoever in the Epstein's illegal activities. 30. As a result of Epstein's illegal activities and his association with Plaintiffs, Plaintiffs continue to lose money and suffer damages to this day. (Exhibit K attached. Jeff Fuller email, 11-12-14). 31. Plaintiff Brunel will need to spend millions of dollars in order to restore his business to what it was once worth — money that the Plaintiff Brunel does not have. 6 EFTA00599864
Sivu 11 / 129
32. Plaintiff Brunel continues to own and operate Plaintiff MC2 to this day, their names never having been cleared from the massive and totally negative media coverage involving Epstein and his illegal activities. Plaintiffs have been, and continue to be. irreparably harmed by these false internet-based links to Epstein. (Exhibits R &' attached). 33. Second. Plaintiff Brunel was also told by Epstein to leave the Palm Beach area in anticipation of a deposition of Plaintiff Brunel in a criminal case against Epstein. On the direct advice of Epstein, Plaintiff Brunel went to Europe and Asia for a period of time. This was done for the sole purpose of delaying Plaintiff Brunel's deposition. 34. As a direct result of Plaintiff Brunel's travels, his deposition was delayed twice. When it was finally scheduled for November 2009. Plaintiff Brunel was in fact available (Exhibit I attached). However, a medical emergency in the family of his attorney further delayed this deposition (Exhibit M attached). It was never rescheduled and he was never deposed. 35. This was a blatant example of obstruction of justice in the criminal case. Epstein was solely responsible for telling Plaintiff Brunel to leave the area. Plaintiff Brunel lost a huge opportunity to clear his name, and that of his agency. Plaintiff MC2. 36. Third. as a result of all of the facts stated above. Plaintiff Brunel was under tremendous psychological pressure throughout this period of time. 37. This psychological pressure resulted in Plaintiff Brunel avoiding business contacts as set forth above. This pressure also directly caused Plaintiff Brunel to avoid certain social contacts during this period of time. 38. Plaintiff Brunel became extremely withdrawn and anxious at this time. 39. Epstein's conduct was the direct cause of Plaintiff Brunel's psychological state. The press was reporting extensively on the lurid details of Epstein's illegal activities with the under- aged girls. 7 EFTA00599865
Sivu 12 / 129
40.
As stated above. the press reports were erroneously connecting both Plaintiffs to
Epstein's illegal activities. (Composite Exhibit A attached).
41.
Epstein's illegal activities were outrageous and extreme; they involved receiving
massages from the under-aged girls while the girls were nude or nearly-nude; penetration of the
girls with a finger or object; or full-intercourse.
42.
These activities described above caused Plaintiff Brunel severe emotional distress. In
fact, Plaintiff Brunel has recently undergone
with a local psychologist, Dr. Royce
N. Jalazo. as a result of Epstein's actions and the negative results on his business. (Exhibits N &
O attached).
43.
Plaintiff Brunel is emotionally destroyed as a result of Epstein's actions and the resultant
effects on his business. He has been on medications to deal with the effects of this. (Composite
Exhibit P — Medical History).
44.
Plaintiffs have been damaged by the conduct of Defendant Epstein, and have accordingly

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2010/07/29/jeffrey-epstein-feds-probe-possible-child- trafficking-charge.html Epstein Faces Sex-Traffic Probe The Justice Department is investigating Jeffrey Epstein for child trafficking, The Daily Beast has learned—and has widened the scope of its probe to include a famous modeling agency. Hedge-fund manager Jeffrey Epstein completed his sentence for soliciting prostitution with a minor last week. But it appears his problems may not be over. Now The Daily Beast has learned that: • Federal investigators continue to investigate Epstein's activities, to see whether there is evidence of child trafficking—a far more serious charge than the two in his non- prosecution agreement, the arrangement between Epstein and the Department of Justice allowing him to plead guilty to lower-level state crimes. Trafficking can carry a 20-year sentence. • The FBI is also investigating Epstein's friend Jean Luc Brunel, whose MC2 modeling agency appears to have been a source of girls from overseas who ended up on Epstein's private jets. Because Epstein's predatory habits stretch back many years and involved dozens of young- looking girls. there may well be more evidence to uncover. Under the concept of double jeopardy, Epstein can no longer be prosecuted for any of the charges covered by his non-prosecution agreement, in which he agreed to serve a short term of incarceration, fund the civil suits of named victims, and register as a sex offender. The victims who accepted cash settlements in these civil suits agreed not to testify against him or speak publicly about the case. However, new evidence developed by the Department ofJustice on other offenses not covered by the agreement, including allegations by additional victims who come forward, could lead to new charges. There is no statute of limitations in the federal sex- trafficking law, which was also enacted by the state of Florida in 2002. Because his predatory habits stretch back many years and involved dozens of young-looking girls. there may well be more evidence to uncover. (Several young women who claim to be Epstein victims have recently contacted a Ft. Lauderdale lawyer. but to date no new civil complaints have been filed.) • The Billionaire Pedphile's Sex Den • Billionaire Pedophile Goes Free These new developments come one week after the publication of two articles in The Daily Beast about Epstein's pattern of sexual contact with underage girls. which Palm Beach police began investigating in 2005 and the U.S. Attorney's office then settled in a 2007 plea deal.
