Overall Assessment

MC2 Model Management, funded by Jeffrey Epstein and founded by Jean-Luc Brunel, served as a critical component of Epstein's international sex trafficking network. The agency provided a veneer of legitimacy to recruit young women and minors, who were then exploited for Epstein's gratification. The subsequent death of Brunel in prison and the defunct status of the agency have left many questions unanswered about the full extent of the trafficking operation and the complicity of others within the fashion industry.
