Around 10 "new" suspected victims have come forward in a French probe into the network of late US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a prosecutor said Sunday.

France opened a human trafficking investigation after the US Justice Department in January released the latest cache of files from the investigation into the disgraced financier, who died in prison in 2019 while facing charges of trafficking underage girls for sex.

French magistrates are seeking to investigate possible offences committed in France or involving French perpetrators who facilitated his crimes.
