Jean-Claude Van Damme has been accused of sex crimes in Romania. The action star allegedly slept with five women he knew were being trafficked by a criminal group led by Morel Bolea, per CNN affiliate Antenna 3. According to the criminal complaint via the Romanian Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT), Van Damme was given five Romanian women as a “gift” in Cannes. The women were models in Romania. Adrian Cuculis, a lawyer for one of the women, said in a statement translated by Page Six that they were “in a state of vulnerability,” and that the person who received them “knew their condition. From the witness statements, it is very clear that Jean-Claude Van Damme knew that these people were being exploited.”
The incident with Van Damme is part of a larger investigation into human trafficking by Bolea. The investigation began in 2020 in Romania. If the High Court of Cassation in France authorizes criminal proceedings, suspects will be summoned to Romania to give statements.
