与已故性犯罪者杰弗瑞·爱泼斯坦有关联的模特经纪人丹尼尔·西亚德于本周一在巴黎西北郊区科隆贝斯的住所被发现身亡，终年69岁1。
西亚德的名字在美国司法部解密的爱泼斯坦档案中出现超过1000份文件2，多名受害者指控他充当人口贩运者，将她们介绍给爱泼斯坦用于性虐待和贩运12。一名受害者Anya称这是"一次完整的设局"，并描述西亚德为"本质上是一个专业贩运者"1。
西亚德在法国面临多项指控，包括强奸罪名12。瑞典模特埃博·卡尔松指控西亚德在1990年在斯德哥尔摩对她进行了性骚扰，随后在法国强奸了她2。他当时正在接受法国人口贩运专门检察官的调查，但尚未被询问或拘留12。卡尔松对西亚德的死亡表示"非常沮丧"，称"他非常接近被逮捕"2。
检察官办公室已启动调查以确定死因，并将进行尸检1。一名律师表示，缓慢的调查步伐导致西亚德在被讯问或被警方拘留之前死亡，使受害者失去了"追求真实和正义的关键步骤"1。前模特也表达了担忧，称"一个重要的链条刚刚消失得无影无踪，甚至没有机会恢复丹尼尔·西亚德可能拥有的信息"1。
Daniel Siad, a 69-year-old French modelling scout connected to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, was discovered dead at his home in Colombes, a suburb northwest of Paris, on Monday evening 12. His death has triggered an investigation into the circumstances, with prosecutors ordering an autopsy to determine the cause 1.
Siad's name appeared thousands of times in declassified U.S. government files related to Epstein 1, with his details documented in over 1,000 files from the Department of Justice's Epstein archive 2. Victims have accused him of acting as a human trafficker, introducing women to Epstein for exploitation and abuse 1. He faced multiple complaints in France, including rape allegations, with the first complaint submitted in February 1.
Swedish model Ebba Karlsson accused Siad of sexual harassment in Stockholm in 1990 and subsequently raping her in France when she was 20 years old 2. Following her allegations, Karlsson expressed being "very upset" about his death, noting that "he was very close to being arrested" 2. One victim identified as Anya described the situation as "a complete setup" and characterized Siad as "essentially a professional trafficker" 1.
Siad had been under investigation by French prosecutors specializing in human trafficking but had not yet been questioned before his death 2. A lawyer, Anne-Claire Le Jeune, stated that "slow investigation pace led to his death before he could be questioned or detained by police, depriving victims of a crucial step toward seeking truth and justice" 1. Another former model lamented that "an important link just disappeared without a trace, without even a chance to recover information Daniel Siad may have possessed" 1.
The death comes amid broader French efforts to investigate the Epstein case. The French authorities announced earlier this year the formation of a specialized task force to analyze evidence from the Epstein files 2. Jean-Luc Brunel, Siad's former employer and a prominent model agent in Paris, New York, and Miami, died by suicide in prison in February 2022 2. Epstein himself died in prison in 2019 2.
