Romanian authorities have charged actor Jean-Claude Van Damme with crimes related to human trafficking,

A report submitted to the Romanian Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) alleges that the 64-year-old was aware of taking part in sexual activities with women trafficked by a group headed by Morel Bolea, as stated by Antena 3.

The report claimed that the occurrence took place in Cannes, where Van Damme knowingly accepted five Romanian women as a “gift” from human traffickers, according to the outlet.

Attorney Adrian Cuculis, who represents one victim, said the women were vulnerable and likely exploited under Article 182 of the Criminal Code.

A witness reportedly told prosecutors about the incident at an event Van Damme organized in Cannes, DICOTT then launched a criminal investigation.

“Several Romanians, who are currently under investigation for creating a criminal organization and engaging in pimping, supposedly provided Jean-Claude Van Damme with five Romanian women — who work as photo models in Romania — for sexual encounters. The recipient of these favors was aware of their situation,” stated attorney Adrian Cuculis.
