Regulating Modeling Agencies to Help Prevent Child Sex Trafficking Conchita Sarnoff Posted: 02/10/2012 8:49 pm In 2010, Jezebel. an online site. published "The ex Trafficking Model Scout" warning about the dangers of deregulated modeling agencies in the M. underage teenage m rk 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."

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.

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." 38 EFTA00599896

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. 39 EFTA00599897

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.

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. 43 EFTA00599901

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.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/20I 4/04/21/eleventh-ci rcu it-rules- that-discovery-can-move-forward-on-my-crime-victims-rights-act-case/ 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
Page 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
Page 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.

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.

1 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. EXHIBIT H-I EFTA00599913
