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

France opened a human trafficking investigation after the US Justice Department released the latest cache of files from the investigation into the disgraced financier in January, 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.
