Around 10 ‘new’ victims in France’s Epstein investigation, Paris prosecutor says | 巴黎检察官称，法国爱泼斯坦调查中约有10名“新”受害者
法国检方称，在对已故美国性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦相关网络的调查中，约有10名“新的”疑似受害者出面，案件调查因此继续扩大。
法国方面是在美国司法部今年1月公布最新一批爱泼斯坦调查文件后，启动了这起人口贩运调查。爱泼斯坦于2019年在狱中死亡，当时他正因涉嫌贩运未成年女孩进行性交易而面临指控。法国法官目前正试图查明可能涉及的违法行为。
检方表示，调查仍在推进，新的证词和线索可能帮助梳理这一跨国网络的运作情况，以及相关人员是否在法国境内涉及犯罪。
