JEFFERY Epstein sex slave Virginia Roberts Giuffre gave prosecutors enough evidence to secure the arrest of the paedo financier's model agent pal, it has emerged.
Virginia, now 37, is the key witness in the case against Jean-Luc Brunel, 75, who has been charged by French magistrates with multiple counts of rape.
Brunel is alleged to have attacked teenage Virginia repeatedly while a guest on Epstein's Caribbean bolthole Little St James - dubbed Paedo Island.
He vehemently deny any wrongdoing, but in December he was remanded in custody in Paris after being charged with multiple rapes of Virginia and a separate case of sexual harassment against an unidentified complainant.
His arrest came after dozens of women claimed Brunel abused them while running an underage sex ring with Epstein, who hanged himself in jail in 2019.
Almost all of the accusations levelled against Brunel are from the 1970s, 80s and 90s, meaning they fall outside the 20-year limit for prosecuting sex crimes in France.
The model agency boss was considered "untouchable" by police who nicknamed him The Ghost as he carried on working in the French capital and frequently travelled abroad on scouting assignments and holidays.
But in November Virginia responded to an online appeal by French magistrates for Brunel's alleged victims to come forward.
"Ms Giuffre now lives in Australia but responded to the appeal," said an investigating source.
"She was interviewed remotely, and provided considerable evidence against Brunel.
"She said that she was raped by Brunel in the early 2000s, including in 2001. This was a considerable breakthrough for the enquiry."
The alleged crime was within the statute of limitations, and therefore prosecutable.
Officers planned to arrest Brunel in January following further enquiries, but on December 16 he was intercepted at Charles de Gaulle airport with a one-way ticket to Dakar in West Africa.
"This led to his immediate arrest and he was placed in custody," said the source.
"The multiple rape charges solely relate to the testimony of Virginia Giuffre, and not any of the other alleged rape victims."
Virginia has provided sworn testimony that she was raped on several occasions by Brunel between the ages of 16 and 19, mostly at Epstein's private island retreat.
She also alleges she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew while he was staying there - which he vehemently denies.
After Brunel's arrest in December, Virginia taunted the Duke on Twitter saying: "Are you sweating yet, Prince Andrew? You should be.
"Your buddy Jean-Luc Brunel is behind bars. Remember those girls he supplied to you on the island?
“Those who participated in this sex trafficking ring should be worried."
It was a dig at the Duke's defence against her previous claims they shared a sweaty dance in London, which he said was impossible as he was medically unable to perspire.
