Jean-Claude Van Damme ‘accused of sex with trafficked Romanian women at TV series launch party in France’

HOLLYWOOD legend Jean-Claude Van Damme has reportedly been accused of having sex with five trafficked women at a TV launch party.

The movie star's team have previously blasted the claims as “absurd” and “unfounded”.

According to legal documents obtained by The Telegraph, the 64-year-old martial artist is facing a potential criminal from Romanian authorities following a complaint filed on April 2.

The complaint alleges the women were “given”; to Van Damme at a glitzy Cannes launch party in 2015 — a gathering reportedly linked to suspected trafficker Morel Bolea, a former modelling agency boss.

One woman told investigators: “When we got there, we realised we weren’t participating in a festival event, but rather at the launch of a TV series starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, which was held in a hotel event room.”;

She claimed one of the event’s organisers “took five of his girls from the Fashion TV team and sent them to Van Damme.”;

It is not known whether Van Damme was aware the women were trafficked.

His agent, Patrick Goavec, told USA Today: “Mr Van Damme does not wish to comment on or fuel this rumour, which is as absurd as it is unfounded.”;

Romanian lawyer Adrian Cuculis, who filed the complaint, represents a separate woman allegedly trafficked by Bolea at just 15 years old.

He told The Telegraph: “They were basically offered to Van Damme ... this is the allegation that Jean-Claude Van Damme used the services of one or more exploited girls.”;

“They were there for [sic] making sexual intercourse with this guy ... if Jean-Claude Van Damme hooked up with them in the club and they went and engaged in six-person intercourse, it’s perfectly fine.

“But if somebody comes to you keeping her hand in his hand and says ‘OK off you go with him into the room’ this means something else.”;

He added: “It’s a deposition stating out very clearly what happened there, and who offered the girls and what are the terms of them, the conditions.”;

Police have reportedly launched a probe into the Bloodsport star as part of a wider investigation into Bolea’s alleged trafficking ring.

Mr Cuculis said: “The [police] investigation has already been launched since Friday. I received a note from the prosecutor’s office saying that they merged this file into the file that was opened in Morel Bolea’s case and they are conducting an investigation regarding our accusations.”;

The Directorate for Investigating Organized and (DIICOT) in – the same unit prosecuting – confirmed receipt of the complaint but declined to comment further.

The case centres on accusations Van Damme used “services of an exploited person,”; under Romanian criminal code Article 216.

The current whereabouts and identities of the women involved remain unknown.

Mr Bolea was arrested in 2022 and is accused of exploiting girls, including minors, via “psychological pressure”; between 2000 and 2016.

He has not responded to the latest claims.
