90s action star Jean-Claude Van Damme is facing allegations that he knowingly had sexual relations with multiple women he knew to be trafficked.
Criminal charges have reportedly been filed against the actor in Romania over the matter.
Van Damme is accused of having received five Romanian women as a "gift" with prior knowledge that they came from a group of traffickers, according to the criminal complaint.
The incident occurred in Cannes, so French authorities are now involved and must authorize criminal proceedings and the suspects identified in the case will be summoned to Romania to give statements.
