New Epstein victims turn up in French probe — prosecutor

France is pursuing its own investigation into the Epstein affair, looking at potential crimes committed in the EU country or involving French nationals tied to the US sex offender.

Around 10 new suspected victims have come forward since France launched a probe into late child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his network, Paris' top public prosecutor said Sunday.

France set up a special task force of magistrates in February to probe potential crimes committed in the country or involving French nationals who might be implicated in Epstein's crimes.
