Given the growing number of modeling agencies that transport
foreign 
countries into the United States and the growing sex trade of underage girls in the 
. why does 
this industry remain deregulated? 
Since the advent of this business, modeling agencies have had free reign to scout teenagers from 
every state in the country as well as every nation in the world. Many of these teenage girls come 
from economically disadvantaged families and are offered none to very limited protection while 
traveling and working as "models." 
Jezebel reported that Jean Luc Brunel. one of the cast of characters involved in the ongoing 
Jeffrey Epstein (a level 3 registered sex offender), eight-year-long case, has been working for 
over two decades with a succession of agencie 
w York and Paris. According to media 
reports, Diane Sawyer produced a segment for 
60 Minutes featuring a sex scandal that 
eventually led Eileen Ford (founder of renowned Ford modeling agency) to stop working with 
Brunel. 
Brunel's latest venture is the modeling agency MC2 based in South Beach, Fla. with satellite 
offices in New York and Tel Aviv. Since his agency is deregulated and "no criminal charges 
have been filed by any of his accusers" — although many have tried to serve him including 
lawyers representing Epstein's victims, Brunel continues to hide behind his French citizenship to

prevent depositions. "Trawling for 5' I I" underage teenagers to work for his agency, MC2, or 
anyone else who requests. Brunel is free to scout for very young girls without limitations." Given 
his citizenship he also successfully avoided deposition in Epstein's sex related cases. 
Like so many other reporters who have tried to report his side of the story when Jezebel 
contacted Brunel. "he did not respond to our interview request." According to Jezebel: 
we spoke to a number of people who worked with his agency and while MC2 isn't considered a 
major industry player, it isn't exactly bottom-shelf, either... Brunel isn't involved with the 
business on a day-to-day basis, although he owns an 85 percent stake in MC2. Instead, he does 
scouting for the agency and takes care of the international relations with other agencies, reports 
one source. Scouts scour the world for unrepresented teenage girls who could make it as models. 
They work largely unsupervised and are generally paid a headhunting fee for every girl an 
agency signs. Even when affiliated with an agency, as Brunel obviously is with MC2, scouts 
operate mostly independently and with little oversight. The company blog refers to Brunel as a 
`scouting tsunami' and MC2 is fairly well known for the strength of its international scouting. 
Model, Michael 
1995 book, describes Brunel's activities in Paris from the late 1970s 
onwards, when he worked for, and eventually owned, the modeling agency Karin. "Jean-Luc is 
considered a danger." says Jerome Bonnouvrier. "Owning Karin was a dream for a playboy. His 
problem is that he knows exactly what girls in trouble are looking for. He's always been on the 
edge of the system." 
John Casablancas, founder of Elite modeling agency said: 
I really despise Jean-Luc as a human being for the way he's cheapened the business. There is no 
justice. This is a guy who should be behind bars. There was a little group, Jean-Luc, Patrick 
Gilles, and Varsano. They were very well known in Paris for roaming the clubs. They would 
invite girls and put drugs in their drinks. Everybody knew they were creeps." Casablancas was a 
professional rival who was pushed out of his agency for questionable concerns. 
Katie Ford human trafficking abolitionist and Eileen Ford's daughter. talked to the Wall Street 
Journalmagazine. In that stun "A Model Trade Union," Ford describes herself as a "roving 
ambassador" to help stop human trafficking. Ford sold her stake in the family business in 2007 to 
the private equity firm Stone Tower Equity. "In her new life as a nearly full-time, unpaid, roving 
ambassador for the cause her job is an outgrowth of her former work, rather than a repudiation of 
it, or an atonement. 
Her interest in human trafficking began when a representative of the United Nations called to ask 
if she would participate in a women's leadership group that was studying the issue of trafficking. 
"I said, 'I can't come talk about it, because I don't know anything about it!'" Ford recalls. "But I 
went, and after two hours. I knew why I was there. The way people traffic across borders is 
parallel to the way we recruit models. According to Ford "the target age is 14 to 24. and so it's 
similar to modeling." I knew how to reach that market" she said. "It was the feeling of: There but 
for the grace of God... The girls who came to us could have been those girls."

That Gorgeous Underage Model May Be A 
Slave: Regulation For Agencies To Stop Child 
Sex Trafficking 
First came the knowledge that slaves still existed and were present in larger numbers than ever 
before. Then the realization that a human being could be purchased within a few hours of my 
home for under S100. Now only a few miles away. In the following years I've been learning the 
myriad forms, places and types of slavery. The list keeps lengthening and with each new form 
(to me), ! learn about . it knocks me down, one more time. 
Slaver, 
Debt Bondage 
Sexual Slavery 
Child Brides 
Forced Labor 
Child Soldiers 
Adoption Trafficking 
Organ Trafficking 
Trafficked Athletes 
And now a new one I should have seen coming. 
Those very young, foreign models you see? Some of them were trafficked by model scouts who 
literally trawled through some of the most destitute and vulnerable people on earth for them. The 
same methods as other predatory traffickers: Go to politically or economically unstable areas: 
locate 5'1 I" beautiful young girls: buy them, import them, own them, use them. 
Horrible irony to have images that portray us to the world possibly be of slaves. 
It's hard to think of an area of our society that doesn't admire seeing it's most vaunted members 
with a model on their arm. While this observation does not imply that those people were 
trafficked, imagine how simple that makes it to approach a child or it :s family anywhere in the 
world and offer them this in return for absolute control. 
All ite traffickers have to do is pull out a magazine or phone with videos on it.

I'm not shocked at traffickers using this method of promises to lure unsuspecting girls into 
slavery, I've seen it, read about it, studied it. I'm in shock that itflourishes in the most visible, 
glaring spotlight of our culture, the part that worhips and presents our current idea of beauty in 
almost everything we touch. 
These victims are on the most prominent slave block ever, emulated by our children, coveted by 
our culture-makers and our society. and standing in the brightest global spotlight in the

Jeffrey Epstein doesn't want to be branded as a "sex 
offender" for life, and no, he's not a modeling agency secret 
sugar daddy (or so its owners say) 
Posted by WSF On October - 9 - 2007 
Jeffrey Epstein, the billionaire money manager 
agreed to plead guilty to soliciting 
underaged hookers and go away for 18 months, doesn't want to be branded a "sex offender" for 
life. Page Six says his lawyers are thinking about asking prosecutors to drop that requirement 
from his plea agreement 
In a letter drafted, but not sent, to M. 
Attorney Alexander Costa and obtained by Page Six, Epstein's lawyer, Gerald 
Lefcourt, writes, "Doing so will have a profound impact [on Epstein] both 
immediately and forever after. Not only will he be restricted to a wholly 
inappropriate penal facility, but he will be required for the rest of his life 
to account for his whereabouts." 
Meanwhile over the weekend Page Six said that owners of MC2 modeling, run by Jean-Luc 
Brunel — l= 
also been accused of favoring underaged models in the past — claim that 
Epstein is not the secret deep pockets behind the firm, no matter what others say or speculate.

Epstein, .....reportedly gave 
"millions" to start MC2, which opened in October 2005 with offices in 
New York. Miami and Tel Aviv. One of the girls Epstein, 54, was accused of 
soliciting massages from was described in court documents as being just 14. 
"E equals MC squared . . . get it, 
like the equation? E equals Epstein. He just thinks everyone is too dumb to 
figure it out," said a model industry insider. "He's a desperate old 
man that fantasizes and takes advantage of young girls." 
"Jeffrey Epstein has no ownership or involvement in our company and never has. Jean-Luc 
Brunel and I are the only two partners and owners of MC2 Model Management," [Jeffrey] Fuller 
said. [MC2 President]

The Volokh Conspiracy 
Eleventh Circuit rules that discovery can 
move forward on my Crime Victims' Rights 
Act case 
By Paul Cassell April 21 
On Friday,the I 1th Circuit ruled that discovery can move forward in an important Crime 
Victims' Rights Act case that my co-counsel, Brad Edwards. and I are pursuing. The narrow 
issue before the court was whether prosecutors and defense attorneys could assert some sort of 
"privilege' to prevent crime victims from reviewing the correspondence that lead to a plea 
bargain. More broadly, the ruling means that the victims will have a chance to return to the 
district court and seek to invalidate a plea agreement that (we alleged) was consummated in 
violation of their rights. I hope that the case will ultimately set an important precedent that 
federal prosecutors can't keep victims in the dark about the plea deals that they reach. 
I lere arc the important facts, taken from the 1 1 th 
opinion: The case arose in 2006, the 
FBI began investigating allegations that wealth Investor Jeffrey Epstein had sexually abused 
dozens and dozens of minor girls. The M. 
Office for the Southern District of Florida 
accepted Epstein's case for prosecution, and the FBI issued victim notification letters to my two 
clients. minors Jane Doc No. I and Jane Doe No. 2, in June and August 2007. Extensive plea 
negotiations ensued between the prosecutors and Epstein. On Sept. 24, 2007, the prosecutors 
entered into a non-prosecution agreement with Epstein in which they agreed not to file any 
federal charges against Epstein in exchange for his guilty plea to minor Florida offenses (e.g., 
solicitation of prostitution). Not only did the prosecutors neglect to confer with the victims 
before they entered into the agreement with Epstein, they also concealed its existence for at least 
nine months. For example, the prosecutors sent post-agreement letters to the victims reporting 
that the "case is currently under investigation" and explaining that "[t)his can be a lengthy 
process and we request your continued patience while we conduct a thorough investigation.-
On June 27, 2008. the prosecutors informed my co-counsel, Brad Edwards, that Epstein planned 
to plead guilty to the Florida charges three days later. But the prosecutors failed to disclose that 
Epstein's pleas to those state charges arose from his federal non-prosecution agreement and that 
the pleas would bar a federal prosecution. As a result, the victims did not attend the state court 
proceedings. 
45 
EFTA00599903
Sivu 50 / 129
On July 7, 2008. Edwards and I filed a petition alleging that Jane Doc No. I was a victim of 
federal sex crimes committed by Epstein and that the United States had wrongfully excluded her 
from plea negotiations. We also alleged that the federal prosecutors had violated her rights under 
the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) — specifically her rights to confer with the government, 
to be treated with fairness, to receive timely notice of relevant court proceedings, and to receive 
information about restitution. The United States responded by claiming that it used its "best 
efforts" to comply with the rights afforded to victims under the CVRA, but that the act did not 
apply to pre-indictment negotiations with potential federal defendants. 
After Jane Doe No. 2 joined the initial petition, the district court (Marra, J.) found that both 
w
qualified as "crime victims" under the CVRA. The district court later rejected the 
argument that the act only applies after the filing of a federal criminal 
indictment. (I've written a law review article about the issue of how early crime victims' rights 
attach in the criminal process. which can be downloaded here.) 
Among other relief, we sought rescission of the non-prosecution agreement as a remedy for the 
violation of the victims' rights. 
make the case for such a remedy, we moved for discovery of 
the correspondence between the M. and Epstein's attorneys during the plea negotiations. 
Epstein's attorneys intervened, arguing that Federal Rule of Evidence 410 and Federal Rule of 
Criminal Procedure I I create a privilege for plea negotiations, barring release of the 
correspondence. They also argued that the court should find that the materials were protected 
under the work product doctrine or, alternatively, should be protected under a new "common-
law privilege for plea negotiations." 
The district court first ruled that rescission of the plea inTeelllelli was a possible remed% under 
the act. The court then ruled that we were entitled to review the correspondence, rejecting all of 
Epstein's arguments. 
On Friday. the 11th Circuit affirmed the district 
ruline, that we could rthie‘A the plea 
correspondence. At pp. 18-22 of its published opinion. the court concluded that there was no 
basis for restricting access to such correspondence when crime victims have a legitimate need to 
review it. The court rejected. for example, the work product argument because plea discussions 
are not confidential: 
Disclosure of work-product materials to an adversary• waives the work-product privilege. See. 
e.g., In re Chrysler Motors Corp. Overnight Evaluation Program Litig.. 86012.2d 844, 846 (8th 
Cir. 1988); In re Doe, 662 F.2d 1073. 1081-82 (4th Cir. 1981). Even if it shared the common 
goal of reaching a quick settlement, the United States was undoubtedly adverse to Epstein during 
its investigation of him for federal offenses, and the intervenors' disclosure of their work product 
waived any claim of privilege. ... 
The court also declined to recognize a new privilege for plea bargaining, finding the relationship 
between prosecutors and defense attorneys did not need special protection: 
As a last-ditch effort, the intervenors contend that "[i]f more is needed in addition to the plain 
language of Rule 410 to preclude disclosure of the correspondence to plaintiffs, it can be found 
46 
EFTA00599904
Sivu 51 / 129
in the conjunction of Rule 410, the work-product privilege, and the Sixth Amendment right to 
the effective assistance of counsel in the plea bargaining process," but this novel argument fails 
too. As explained above. Rule 410 does not create a privilege and the intervenors waived any 
work-product privilege. The intervenors concede too that the right to counsel under the Sixth 
Amendment had not yet attached when the correspondence was exchanged. Lumley v. City of 
Dade City Fla., 327 F.3d 1186, 1195 (11th Cir. 2003) ("[T)he Sixth Amendment right to 
counsel ordinarily does not arise until there is a formal commitment by the government to 
prosecute," such as a "formal charge, preliminary hearing, indictment, information, or 
arraignment."). The "conjunctive" power of three false claims of privilege does not rescue the 
correspondence from disclosure. . . . 
The Supreme Court has identified several considerations relevant to whether a court should 
recognize an evidentiary privilege—the needs of the public, whether the privilege is rooted in the 
imperative for confidence and trust, the evidentiary bit 
of the denial of the privilege, and any 
consensus among the states, Jaffee v. Redmond, 518 
I. 10-15 (1996)—but none of these 
considerations weighs in favor of recognizing a new privilege to prevent discovery of the plea 
negotiations. Although plea negotiations are vital to the functioning of the criminal justice 
system, a prosecutor and target of a criminal investigation do not enjoy a relationship of 
confidence and trust when they negotiate. Their adversarial relationship. unlike the confidential 
relationship of a doctor and patient or attorney and client, warrants no privilege beyond the terms 
of Rule 410. See Jaffee, 518 M. at 10. But the victims would enjoy an evidentiary benefit from 
the disclosure of plea negotiations to prove whether the United States violated their rights under 
the Act. 
Moving forward, this case raises the important issue of what kinds of remedies are available for 
violations of the Crime Victims' Rights Act. Our complaint alleges that, prodded by Epstein. the 
federal prosecutors deliberately concealed the sweetheart plea deal they had reached with him to 
avoid public criticism of the deal. I am hopeful that in future district court proceedings. we will 
be able to prove that clear violation of the CVRA and then obtain the remedy of invalidating the 
illegally-negotiated plea deal.

Dear JeanLuc, 
Unfortunately I need to announce that Liza Zazdravnih rejected signing the contract with MC2 in United 
Sates. Initially she intended to sign the contract, but later on she came across that article in intemet about 
you involved in illegal activities with young models. This information somehow changed her intentions 
completely. she is ready to be a model and consider contracts with other agencies, but she has 
suspicions that you will force her to illegal activities and she made the decision to don't put her self in risk. 
Lets keep in touch. I will be happy to work with you next time if we have another right model for you. Im 
upset that it didn't work out with Liza

Jean Luc, 
How are you? 
After so many years scouting for you and having a great network of agencies all around the world who 
enjoy to work with us, i wanted tc let you know that we are on the way to lose everything we build and we 
are gonna have big problem now. 
Agencies, still want to work with us but parents don't want their daughters to come to us. because when 
they google your name and the agency name the only things they see is "Sex Trafficking"!!! 
It's impossible to sign a new girl and if nothing it's done i can tell you that in 3 months we we will not get 
any new girls and i don't see how the agency will work without new faces. 
All the agencies who know you don't have any problems with ycu since they all told me "We know Jean 
Luc for more than 20 years and ail those years we had so many girls place with him who had better 
experience than in any other agencies who were representing them as well and we never had any 
problems whatsoever, all our girls had great carriers as a model when he representea them". 
I understand those agencies because it's hard for them to talk to parents and explain that it's not the truth 
when it's all over the internet. 
You need lo have it stop and have the people write an official letter to say that it's not the truth .. 
I will keep you posted of course but it's really bad for us and the scouting. 
Best regards 
Michael Sanka

Ann: Scouting division MC? 
We took notes of your comments and the girls that you like on our websitc 
We know Jean Luc Brunel and we always work with him since more than 10 years all 
those years and nes er had any problems. 
All the girls he represented from us nes a had any problems. they were working has e 
great book work with good clients in editorial and campaigns and were well represented 
models. 
Now for all the new faces we have, we needed to talk to their parents to discuss about 
met and you interest to represent their daughters and of course they google it and saw all 
the had articles about sex trafficking they were scared and I was myself speechless since 
we know that it's not true but it spa hard for us to explain to the parents. 
So of course for the moment till all is clarified we can't place any new faces with you 
because the parents will refuse and it makes us look had to propose the girls to your 
38CAC) 
We are sum but you really need to clarify escry-thing. till then we will base to cease any 
collaboration and we will have to refuse to let you represent any of our models 
Sure you understand

Az part of your employment with MC Square 
2 
did you live in New York, for a time? 
3 
A 
I'm sorry, but I take the Fifth. 
4 
Q 
Have you ever heard any model of MC Square 
5 
who at the time of being a minor, that means under 
6 
the age of eighteen, made an accusation that 
7 
Jean-Luc Burnel acted inappropriate with her? 
8 
A 
Never. And that is something that I will 
9 
not answer. And I said never because even when 
10 
peoples come and ask me I will always say the truth 
11 
regarding that. 
12 
I know Mr. Brunel for the longest --
13 
maybe eight years. And I always said what I know. 
14 
I never saw and I never knew that he did anything. 
15 
So I know that. And 
the truth. 
16 
Never. I never heard anybody accusing Mr. Brunel 
17 
or complaining about Mr. Brunel. Nothing. 
18 
Q 
That means -- that means at any time no 
19 
model, no minor model came to you and said, you 
20 
know, "Maritza, look what just happened to me", that, 
21 
"something bad happened to me". 
22 
A 
Maybe a model came and told me, "Maritza, 
23 
look what happen to me. I don't have any money," or 
24 
"I don't have a place to live". Or, "Look, I didn't 
25 
get my ticket", or whatever.

BY MR. DAVID: 
5 
0 
But you said before that you never heard 
6 
anything that would indicate that Jean-Luc Burnel 
7 
behaved inappr~•priately with -- with any models, 
q 
especially any minor models that MC Square may have 
g 
had. 
0 
Is that correct? 
1 
A 
Yeah, I said what is the truth. Nobody 
2 complain to me. Nobody -- your question was very 
3 
clear, has any girl came to you and complain about 
4 
sexually, you know, involved with Mr. Brunel. 
5 
0 
Right. 
6 
A 
And my answer was no. Nobody came to tell 
7 
me. I never taw. I never knew. His personal life 
B 
was ni.t my problem. 
9 
0 
D you have any actual knowledge, that is 
O 
to say were you present or did you see with your own 
j 
eyes, any minor models go with Joan-Luc Burnet to 
2 
Jeffrey Eputein's home, CA any party of his? 
3 
MR. OBRONT: Objection. 
4 
THE WITNESS: I'm sorry, but I take the 
5 
Fifth.
