Jean Luc Brunel
- Owner of Karin's Models
- MC2 Models
- Model Scout
Jean Luc Brunel (JLB) is a central figure in the Epstein case and should be considered as one of Epstein's main co-conspirators. Records show that Jean Luc Brunel was the owner of Karin Models a European based modelling agency originating in France. After forging an arrangement with billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein, Jean Luc dissolved Karin Models in 2003 and created MC2 Models. At one time the agency had headquarters in New York, Miami and Tel Aviv but today their website only lists New York and Tel Aviv.
According to the Guardian, accusations of 'drugging' and 'sexual assault' related to the modelling scout stretch back decades. Similarities to the Epstein case are striking. In the 1980s and 90s while running Karin's in Paris, Brunel would provide apartments to young models from around the world who were also expected to keep Jean Luc and his friends company.
Thysia Huisman, then an 18-year-old Dutch model staying at the apartment, alleged that one such evening in September 1991, she began feeling woozy after being given a drink by Brunel, and was taken to his bedroom.
“I recall him lying on top of me, me trying to push him off,” she said in an interview. “I remember trying to move, but not really being able to. Like almost being paralysed. I heard the sound of my blouse – a black blouse – ripping. I had a black skirt, too. I felt him – this is difficult – between my legs. Pushing.”
Huisman said the rest was a blur. She woke the next morning in a kimono that wasn’t hers, with soreness on her inner thighs. “I felt we had had sex,” she said. “I knew. I know.”

Significance
I encourage researchers to read the the deposition by Ms. Vasquez. However, the document contains much more than her sworn statements and is a great resource for those interested in learning more about the Epstein case. This post is a summary of what this researcher believes are the most pertinent facts in the deposition, yet there's always a chance that something has been overlooked. I do hope this is helpful to all the other DIY diggers out there. Just a few thoughts to finish and somethings that should be reiterated.
- Modelling agency makes no secret of having underaged models
- Models are without parental supervision
- Some exploit situation to access underaged girls
- Since MC2 was always nearly bankrupt the only reason to be involved with the company was to access young models.
Jean Luc Brunel is certainly one of Epstein's co-conspirators, a Lolita express wingman, a procurer of underaged women for Epstein, an accused rapist, a predator, a fraudster, bankrupt and a coke-head.
Once more, the work of Epstein's former Butler Alfredo Rodriguez has emphasized Jean Luc Brunel's role in all this with THREE STARS!
This man should not be walking free at the moment, he should be awaiting trial in association with Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Leslie Wexner and many more...
Finally, perhaps one of the most important revelations to come out of Ms. Vasquez's deposition is that she had a bookkeeping counterpart in New York named - Evelyn (Eve) Vanezuela who has all the information on MC2 and the models that stayed in Epstein's apartments.
Find Evelyn
Note: Another Massive Document Dump anywhere from 2,000 to 10,000 files may be released in the near future regarding the Epstein case. Be ready!
