Jean-Claude Van Damme was accused of having had sex with several Romanian women whom he knew it was the trafficking.
The affiliate of CNN Antentena 3 reported on Wednesday that a criminal complaint had been filed with Romanian management to investigate organized crime and terrorism (Diicot), alleging that the married martial artist who became an actor, 64, joined sexual relations with five women trafficked by a criminal group who would be led by a Romanian businessman and a Morel modeling agency BOLEA.
The women were presented to Van Damme – who is also a martial artist and a bodybuilder – as a “gift”, and the alleged acts took place in Cannes during an event he organized, according to Antena 3 CNN.
A delay for alleged acts has not been noted.
Lawyer Adrian Cuculis, who represents one of the alleged victims, told the point of sale that women “were in a state of vulnerability, with the suspicions that they were exploited within the meaning of article 182 of the penal code.
“At one point in Cannes, during an event organized by Jean -Claude Van Damme, several Romanians who are currently the subject of an investigation for the creation of a criminal group and a pimps who would have offered Jean -Claude Van Damme Five Women – photo models in Romania – for him to have sex (with)”, told the Outlet, according to an English translation.
“The person who received these performances knew their condition. According to the declarations of the witnesses, it is very clear that Jean-Claude Van Damme knew that these people were exploited. ”
One of the women who witnessed the alleged acts reported what she saw to prosecutors, which prompted Diicot to open a criminal investigation, by antenna 3 CNN.
Since the alleged acts took place in Cannes, the High Court of Cassation in France must now authorize the initiation of criminal procedures.
Once identified, the alleged authors of the case will then be summoned to Romania to make declarations, Antena 3 CNN reported.
According to Cuculis, the “scandalous” case is part of a more important investigation into the trafficking of human beings and the milking trafficking who started in 2020 with the office of the prosecutor of Romania.
Van Damme representatives – whose actor credits include “Kickboxer”, “Double Impact”, “Street Fighter” and “Double Team” – did not immediately respond to the request for comments on page Six.
