A former reality TV candidate placed in police custody for “aggravated pimping by an organized gang”

From reality TV to police custody. Quentin R., revealed a few years ago in the program “Les Anges” broadcast on NRJ12, was arrested this Monday, November 4 at his home in Essonne as part of an investigation for “aggravated pimping by an organized gang”. According to the Le Parisien website which reveals this information, Quentin R. was taken into police custody along with a 29-year-old young woman.

The former candidate of the reality TV show is accused of having, with this young woman, a Brazilian national, rented apartments on the Airbnb and Booking platforms in which they brought women to prostitute them.

According to Le Parisien, it was an anonymous testimony which denounced the couple's scheme. Quentin R. and the young woman brought girls from South America with the aim of making them prostitutes.

To do this, they would have placed advertisements on the “sexemodel” site. Large sums of money were generated by this prostitution. Investigators discovered quite a bit of loot in the bank accounts of the two accused.

The duo paid, according to Le Parisien, only a tiny part of the money resulting from this pimping and prostitution, to young women subject to the influence of Quentin R. According to calls recorded by the police, the reality TV candidate allegedly admitted to having “around ten” Brazilian women under his control for prostitution in a discussion with a third person.

Quentin R. and his partner were taken into police custody.
