Jean-Claude Van Damme has been accused of having sexual relations with trafficked women<\/p>\n
\nThe ‘Streetfighter’ actor is the subject of a criminal complaint filed with the Romanian Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT), which alleged the 64-year-old star knowingly engaged in sexual relations with women who had been trafficked by a criminal group led by Morel Bolea, CNN affiliate Antena 3 reports.<\/p>\n
\nVan Damme is accused of having received five Romanian women as a “gift” in Cannes, France, with prior knowledge they had come from a trafficking group.<\/p>\n
\nAttorney Adrian Cuculis, who represents one of the victims, told the outlet the quintet “were in a state of vulnerability, with the suspicion that they were exploited within the meaning of Article 182 of the Criminal Code.”<\/p>\n
\nHe added: \u201cSeveral Romanians who are currently being investigated for forming a criminal group and pimping, allegedly offered Jean-Claude Van Damme five Romanian women \u2014 photo models in Romania \u2014 for him to have sexual relations with. The person who received those benefits knew their condition.”<\/p>\n
\nA woman who witnessed the alleged incident is said to have spoken with prosecutors, prompting DIICOT to open a criminal investigation.<\/p>\n
\nThe incident is part of a larger investigation into human trafficking that the Prosecutor’s Office in Romania launched in 2020.<\/p>\n
\nAccording to Antena 3, because the alleged incident happened in Cannes, the High Court of Cassation in France must authorise criminal proceedings for the case to move forward.<\/p>\n
\nThe suspects will then be summoned to Romania to give statement.<\/p>\n
\nRepresentatives for both Van Damme and DIICOT have yet to comment on the news.<\/p>\n
\nThe Belgian action star – who is nicknamed The Muscles from Brussels – previously admitted he wanted to be “the macho man” when he was younger, which led to his falling out with Steven Seagal, but he insisted the row has now ended.<\/p>\n
\nThe pair were embroiled in a lengthy spat with the ‘Under Siege’ star for years after Seagal questioned his martial arts ability in a 1991 interview and Van Damme later challenged him to a fight at a party thrown by Sylvester Stallone.<\/p>\n
\nHowever, Van Damme is adamant there’s no longer any bad blood between them. He told DailyMail.com: “I have no problem with Steven. When you\u2019re young you want to be the macho man. If I saw him today, I\u2019d have no problem.”<\/p>\n
\nVan Damme previously admitted the actors were offered $20 million each to take part in a huge fight in Las Vegas, but he claimed his rival backed out.<\/p>\n
\nHe told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: “They were having an idea to have a fight between me and Steven at The Mirage [in Las Vegas]. Twenty million each. He didn\u2019t take the fight.”<\/p>\n
