11/13/25 Guardian article: In 2010 "modeling agent" accused of raping & trafficking young girls wanted to do "biz" w/Epstein and had previously worked with Trump (Trump Models was still operating at the time). @ella-ca.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
![Screenshot of text from Guardian article, which was pasted into a Word Document to make it fit: Epstein sent an email asking “what is your schedule?” on 23 July 2010 to an associate. The latter responded the next morning saying: “the other girl name is [redacted].” The Guardian is withholding the associate’s name, as attempts to identify and contact him were unsuccessful.
That afternoon, the associate also wrote: “Can you call me/ I am with tigrane he would like to meet you he is here with me in Ibiza/with 8 top girls he said he would like to build something with you. Can you come to Ibiza we have a huge house or how can we orgnise this meeting even Jean Luc could do a great biz also/ he has the most amizing top models on stand by I told him not to do any/deals with anybody before he meet with you.” The
“He stopped working with IMG and Trump wi here please call me and let me/ know what is your plans/ warmest regards” the associate wrote, apparently referring to Jean-Luc Brunel, a French modeling agent and friend of Epstein.
****
Authorities arrested Brunel in December 2020 at Charles de Gaulle airport on suspicion of alleged rape and sexual assault of minors and human trafficking of underage girls for sexual exploitation. Brunel, who was suspected of providing teenage girls to Epstein, was found dead in prison in February 2022 of an apparent suicide.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:23eewmqkc6djsiox2o64kzws/bafkreigz3jve67rj6uavehhiuuakf576vywwa6ozzsyi6piefll5vnzgnm@jpeg)

They’ll claim doctors were legally allowed to “intervene” or “treat” Tierra Walker with "care." They won't say she could have had an abortion because they don’t believe in life-saving abortions
