The Paris prosecutor said in a statement Saturday that the charges were brought by a judge on Friday at the end of Brunel’s term. Brunel was said not to have been charged with human trafficking, which was an important line of investigation. The judge ruled that there is currently insufficient evidence to rule on the matter, but he has not been acquitted and could be prosecuted in the future if something new emerges. Brunel was taken into police custody.

Brunel is under investigation as part of a comprehensive French investigation into the alleged s*xual exploitation of women and girls by Epstein and his entourage. Several women have identified themselves as victims and have spoken to police since the French investigation opened last August, the same month that Epstein committed suicide in prison.

A former model who testified to French police that Brunel drugged and raped her as a teenager said she wept with joy at the news of her arrest.
