Epstein Sought Women via European Modeling Agencies, Emails Reveal

Jeffrey Epstein maintained a contact network in Brussels, Belgium—home to key EU institutions—for nearly a decade, using email exchanges with powerful figures and modeling agencies across Europe to recruit women, according to newly released U.S. Department of Justice documents. The latest batch of files shows Epstein planned multiple trips to Brussels between 2010 and 2019 and corresponded with individuals there, though no meetings were publicly disclosed. Emails reveal references to women sourced from Brussels-based agencies like Casting Factory and MC2 Model Management—co-founded by Epstein’s longtime associate Jean-Luc Brunel, who died by suicide in a Paris jail while awaiting trial on child trafficking and rape charges. One 2010 email describes a woman identified as ‘Kelly C.’, provided by Casting Factory, including her physical measurements and a note that she had a ‘very nice character’. Another message reads ‘miss you))))) bisous from Brussels’, using French for ‘kisses’. Additional correspondence mentions video calls with women awaiting visas—described as ‘very sympathetic’ despite poor video quality. Neither Casting Factory nor MC2 remains operational, and attempts to contact them failed.
