A prosecutor in France has revealed that about 10 new suspected victims have come forward in the European country’s probe into the network of late US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Speaking with the RTL broadcaster, Paris Public Prosecutor Laure Beccuau said on Sunday that about 20 suspected victims had made themselves known after she, in February, urged potential victims to speak up.

While some were already known to investigators, she said, “new victims come forward, ones we didn’t know at all”.

“There are around 10 of them,” she added, noting, “The choice we’ve made for the time being is to listen to these victims.”

“A certain number of them are abroad, so the investigators have tried to set up meetings to suit when they are able to come to Paris,” the prosecutor said.
