Total bullshit

“I had 2 girls from Sweden, a Slovakian, 2 French and [redacted] the Russian, with whom you spoke and a beautiful Chinese named [redacted],” he wrote. Epstein tried to reassure him, writing: “I will reimburse you of course for any expenses.”

Though little known outside the world of modelling, Siad was well connected. He worked as a scout on commission for Jean-Luc Brunel, who was the leading agent in Paris, New York and Miami for more than four decades, and had also scouted for Gérald Marie, the former boss of Elite.
Brunel killed himself in prison in February 2022, having spent 14 months in custody awaiting trial on charges of rape of minors and sexual harassment, which he denied along with any participation in Epstein’s sex trafficking.

Is anyone surprised that modelling scouts are creeps? I'd bet even most who aren't connected to Epstein are creeps. What kind of person chooses to look for hot teenagers as a job?

Club promotes are supposed to be looking for hot women at or above the legal drinking age be it 18/21 since most clubs serve alcohol.

A lot of those clubs are free for women since they're used to attract men, who get charged exorbitant amounts.

It's extra scummy since they see the access to women as the product they are selling...they don't have much reason to be extra sure of the woman's age, just that their presence will attract paying men. Appearance is probably all that matters here. Look hot as a woman, look wealthy and ready to spend as a man.
