Hollywood Actor Jean-Claude Van Damme Named in Romanian Sex Trafficking Scandal — Actor Accused of Sleeping with Five Victims He Knew were Trafficked

Action movie star Jean-Claude Van Damme has been named in a criminal complaint filed by Romania’s Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT).

The 64-year-old Belgian-born star, known for his high-octane roles in Bloodsport, Kickboxer, and Street Fighter, is accused of knowingly engaging in sexual acts with five Romanian women who were allegedly victims of a human trafficking ring.

The allegations claim the incidents took place roughly a decade ago at an event in Cannes, organized by Van Damme himself.

According to reports from CNN affiliate Antena 3, the women—presented as photo models—were offered to Van Damme as a “gift” by a criminal group already under investigation for pimping and trafficking, led by Romanian businessman Morel Bolea.

Attorney Adrian Cuculis, representing one of the alleged victims, told the news outlet, “The person who received those benefits knew their condition,” suggesting Van Damme was fully aware the women were exploited.

The complaint alleges the actor’s actions violated Romania’s strict laws against human trafficking and exploitation, potentially implicating him in a broader network of cross-border crime.

Virginia Giuffre says she mistakenly posted claim that she has four days left to live to Instagram as she reveals new details of car crash

Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre has said she mistakenly posted the claim that she had just four days left to live to her public Instagram.

Ms Giuffre, 41, sparked concerns across the globe when she shared a photo of her ‘battered and bruised’ claiming she was dying after being hit by a school bus.

The snap seemed to have been taken from a hospital bed, and Ms Giuffre said a speeding vehicle had ploughed into her car and that doctors had told her she has four days to live.

Today she issued a statement after her post triggered an outpouring of concern for her welfare, as well as questions about the circumstances of a ‘car crash’ that caused her injuries and ‘kidney failure’.

The statement said: ‘Virginia thanks everyone for the outpouring of love and support. She is overwhelmed with gratitude. 

‘Today she remains in serious condition while receiving medical care. On March 24, in rural Western Australia, a school bus hit the car in which she was riding. 

‘The police were called but said that there was no one available to come to the scene. 

‘They asked if anyone was injured and suggested that if they were, they should make their way to the hospital. 

‘The school bus driver had a bus full of distraught children and left the scene to get them back, saying he would file a police report, which he did later. 

‘Virginia was banged up and bruised and returned home. Virginia’s condition worsened and she was admitted to the hospital. 

‘Concerning her Instagram post, Virginia thought that she had posted on her private Facebook page. 

‘Virginia and her family thank everyone for their concern.’

She is currently being treated at Sir Charles Gardiner Hospital in Perth, Australia.

On Sunday, Ms Giuffre, née Roberts, shared a concerning selfie from a hospital bed to her Instagram which showed her severely bruised face and upper body.

The mother – who was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and alleged she was sexually assaulted as a teenager by Prince Andrew – said she was suffering from kidney failure after the crash.

She also begged to see her children ‘one last time’ before she dies after claiming doctors said she had just four days to live.

Epstein Victim, Prince Andrew Accuser Virginia Giuffre Has ‘Days to Live’ After Car Wreck

Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of deceased billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s most vocal child sex abuse victims, was severely injured in a car accident and has reportedly been told she has four days to live.

In an Instagram post Sunday night, Giuffre – who alleged she was trafficked by Epstein to UK Duke of York Prince Andrew – described being struck by a bus and said she’s now suffering kidney failure as a result of the accident.

“This year has been the worst start to a new year, but I won’t bore anyone with the details but I think it important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving 110km (68mph) as we were slowing for a turn that no matter what your car is made of it might as well be a tin can,” Roberts wrote in her post Sunday.

“I’ve gone into kidney renal failure, they’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology. I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time, but you know what they say about wishes. S**T in one hand and wish in the other & I guarantee it’s still going to be s**t at the end of the day. Thank you all for being the wonderful people of the world and for being a great part of my life. Godbless you all xx Virginia.”

Giuffre, who said she was Epstein’s “sex slave” starting in 2001 and was trafficked through him to Prince Andrew, filed lawsuits against Epstein years later that were settled out of court. His arrest by New York prosecutors in 2019 put him behind bars, where he mysteriously died in his prison cell.

Canadian Liberal PM Mark Carney Under Fire for Resurfaced Ties to Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew

Labour leader and Canadian Prime Minister has entered a troubling phase in his new political career.

Since the Former Bank of England head dissolved the Parliament and called snap elections, it’s one scandal after another.

Mere days after Carney was accused of plagiarizing his doctoral thesis in Oxford University, he is now getting heckled over his links to Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

Economic Times reported:

“During a campaign event, Prime Minister Mark Carney was interrupted by a heckler who shouted, ‘How many kids did you molest with Jeffrey Epstein?’ The question left Carney visibly stunned. Security swiftly removed the heckler, but a video of the moment soon went viral.”

This comes as a picture has surfaced of Carney with Ghislaine Maxwell in a music festival back in 2013.

Needless to say, a picture with Maxwell does not a sex-trafficker make – but citizens have started digging on Carney’s history.

Judge Who Granted P Diddy Win in His Case Rules Against Kari Lake Saving Taxpayers Money

A federal Judge in New York has halted the White House and US Agency for Global Media (USAGM) advisor Kari Lake’s efforts to deliver government efficiency to the leftwing agency that oversees the government’s international broadcaster, Voice of America.

Obama appointee James Paul Oetken was the first openly gay man to be confirmed as a federal judge in 2011. Earlier this week, he dismissed racketeering allegations in a $30 million sexual assault lawsuit against rapper P. Diddy involving allegations of sexual assault, harassment, and sex trafficking.

On Friday, he granted a temporary restraining order, enjoining them from implementing the President’s March 14 executive order, titled “Continuing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy.”

This comes after a lawsuit by from six leftist VOA reporters backed by Reporters Without Borders and several labor unions, who alleged First Amendment violations over attempts to dismantle the broadcasting agency by firing current staff members.

According to the New York Times, “A separate lawsuit, brought by the director of Voice of America, Michael Abramowitz, is also pending.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi Provides Major Update on Epstein Files — Promises Only Minimal Redactions to Protect Victims

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced a major update on the long-awaited release of Jeffrey Epstein case files — and made it clear that only minimal redactions will be made, strictly to protect the privacy and safety of the victims.

Appearing on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, Bondi addressed the tidal wave of speculation and concern surrounding the Epstein files, following reports that up to 1,000 FBI agents and civilians have been pulled from vital national security duties to comb through mountains of evidence related to Epstein’s international sex trafficking ring.

Maria Bartiromo:
A lot of conversation about the Epstein files. And I recognize that when you’re dealing with children, it takes much more time. You’ve got to ensure that what you’re sending out publicly is not revealing any personal information. But can you give us a sense of those two items and whether or not we’ll learn more about them?

Pam Bondi:
Yes, you’re absolutely right, Maria. You know, tens of thousands of pages of documents and hundreds and hundreds of victims of Jeffrey Epstein. So the FBI — they have been working round the clock, at my directive, at Kash Patel.

Now Dan Bongino is there, who is a great asset for all of us at the FBI as well. But yeah, we have to protect their identity, their personal information, to make sure they’re safe.

But other than that, we are releasing all of these documents as soon as we can get them redacted — to protect the victims of him, of all of these horrific crimes that he committed.

Peter Mandelson appears to have met Jeffrey Epstein at New York mansion on a taxpayer-funded trip – while billionaire paedophile was under house arrest, new documents show

Peter Mandelson appears to have met Jeffrey Epstein on a taxpayer-funded trip to America when the disgraced financier was under house arrest for sex offences, newly-uncovered documents indicate.

Epstein’s private schedule, unearthed by The Mail on Sunday, reveals Lord Mandelson was due to have two meetings with the convicted paedophile at his £60 million New York mansion on consecutive days in March, 2010, while on a trip that cost taxpayers more than £8,000.

At the time Lord Mandelson was Business Secretary and First Secretary of State – effectively the second most powerful politician in Gordon Brown’s government as de facto deputy prime minister.

Epstein, meanwhile, was under house arrest after being sentenced in 2008 to 18 months in jail by a Florida court for procuring a child for prostitution and of soliciting a prostitute. 

Last night the Foreign Office refused to answer questions, including whether the Labour grandee’s two meetings with Epstein took place. 

Lord Mandelson, 71, now the UK’s ambassador to the US, has said he ‘deeply regrets’ both ever meeting Epstein and the hurt caused to his victims. 

He also claimed he never had any kind of professional or business relationship with him. But quizzed recently about his relationship with Epstein, who died in 2019, he told a senior Financial Times journalist to ‘f*** off’.

Lord Mandelson and the financier are believed to have been first introduced by Ghislaine Maxwell, who was jailed in 2022 for 20 years for helping Epstein traffic under-age girls.

AG Pam Bondi Provides Update on Epstein Files, January 6, JFK, and MLK Assassination Documents

Attorney General Pam Bondi has promised again that the American people will finally receive long-awaited answers on the Epstein client list, the January 6th investigation, and the long-classified records related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Pam Bondi is encountering growing impatience from MAGA supporters due to the absence of charges against prominent elites.

In an interview with Maria Bartiromo, Bondi made it clear that the government’s history of stonewalling crucial information is coming to an end under the new administration.

During the interview, Bartiromo pointed out that MAGA supporters are furious over the lack of transparency regarding Jeffrey Epstein’s associates.

It can be recalled that the so-called “Epstein Files: Phase One” was a colossal disappointment — heavily redacted pages handed over to a select group of MAGA influencers.

Bondi had hyped the release on Fox News with Jesse Watters the night before, promising “flight logs, names, and a lot of information” about Epstein’s depraved criminal network.

Conservatives braced for a bombshell that would finally unmask the elite swamp creatures tied to the notorious pedophile. Instead, they got a dud.

Speaking with Maria Bartiromo, Bondi confirmed that critical information has been withheld, and she is determined to get to the truth.

Missouri Senators Approve Bill To Legalize Psilocybin Therapy For Veterans And Sex Trafficking Survivors

Missouri senators have advanced a bill to allow military veterans and survivors of sex trafficking who have certain mental health conditions to legally access psilocybin therapy.

The Senate Families, Seniors and Health Committee approved the legislation from Sen. Stephen Webber (D) on Wednesday. A similar House bill focused on the psychedelic moved through a separate panel earlier this month.

In addition to being 21 or older, a military veteran or sex trafficking survivor and enrolled in a clinical trial, participants in the proposed program would need to have PTSD, major depressive disorder, a substance use disorder or be in end-of-life care.

They would also need to provide documentation to the state Department of Mental Health about the treating physician, facilitator and location and time of use.

Further, use of psilocybin would be limited to 150 mg during a 12-month period.

The bill also authorizes the state Department of Health to provide up to $3 million worth of grants to support research on the therapeutic potential of psilocybin.

AG Pam Bondi: Still-Unreleased Epstein Files to Be Redacted for ‘National Security’

It unfortunately appears increasingly unlikely we’re going to get any of the juiciest bits of the Epstein files.

Last week, Attorney General Pam Bondi had the Epstein files “on her desk,” she told Fox News, ready to be released to the public at any moment.

Then, according to the official story out of the DOJ, at some point a whistleblower revealed that the 200 pages of requested Epstein documents she was given by the FBI were not, in fact, all of the documents.

(At this point skepticism begins to set in. How could an experienced prosecutor like Bondi, who was a prosecutor in Florida during the Epstein sex crimes cases, have believed that 200 pages of documents were all the FBI had in relation to one of the most significant sex trafficking rings in world history? The claim beggars belief.)

Nonetheless, even after having learned that she had apparently been duped by rogue agents in the Southern District of New York, she still pulled one of the worst PR stunts in recent memory, handing out binders labeled “The Epstein Files: Phase 1” — which contained virtually no new information not already in the public domain — to a gaggle of handpicked influencers and sending them out in front of the White House press pool to wave them around as if they had a big scoop.
