On Friday, attorney Alan Dershowitz again defended himself from wild sex abuse accusations after his name appeared in a pile of unsealed documents linked to an already settled defamation case involving Ghislaine Maxwell.
The Harvard Law professor was accused of having sex with then-minor “Jane Doe #3,” identified in court documents as Virginia Roberts Giuffre, and of witnessing Jeffrey Epstein and others sexually abusing girls and young women.
The claims, that were lodged in a 2014 court filing, popped up again in over 600 pages that were unsealed Thursday night in Giuffre’s 2015 defamation case against Maxwell.
Dershowitz argues that the document dump exonerates him. I never heard of the “Those documents showing I’m guilty exonerate me” defense.
“I demanded release of all documents because they contain emails and manuscripts proving in Giuffre’s own words that she never met me,” Dershowitz said in a tweet Friday morning. “I knew they would repeat her false accusations against me, Al and Tipper Gore and others, which her own lawyers admit are ‘wrong’.”

He added, “There are no new accusations against me in the documents I got unsealed. All her accusations were made in suits she filed years ago. They were false then and now, as shown by her emails and manuscript that prove I never met her.”
In 2016, former attorneys for Giuffre beforehand said it was a “mistake” to have accused Dershowitz of sexual misconduct.
In 2008, Dershowitz helped Epstein draft a non-prosecution agreement with federal prosecutors after which the convicted pedophile was jailed for 13 months on state prostitution charges. That agreement also gave immunity to Dershowitz immunity.
Robert Mueller was the FBI Director in 2008 when feds accepted the agreement.
Allegations against Dershowitz –
Not only did Dershowitz abuse the minor, but he helped draft a non-prosecution agreement that gave Dershowitz immunity.

The renowned attorney, who’s now part of President Trump’s legal team, has fiercely denied Giuffre’s allegations.
Last year, he defended a 1997 op-ed he wrote on a legal argument to lower the age of consent.
I stand by the constitutional (not moral) argument I offered in my controversial oped: if a 16 year old has the constitutional right to have an abortion without state or parental interference, how could she not have the constitutional right to engage in consensual sex? 1/ https://t.co/48Thb8Uaym

Giuffre says she was 15 when she was allegedly recruited by Maxwell as a masseuse for Epstein, who then turned her into his “sex slave” from 1999 to 2002, forcing her to have sex with Epstein’s prominent friends and associates.
The document dump Thursday included a deposition from Giuffre where she asserted that former President Bill Clinton was a visitor at Epstein’s private Little St. James island, and that she herself traveled on Epstein’s private plane, The Lolita Express, with people like Al Gore and more.
Giuffre also revealed that orgies were held regularly on the plane as well as on the island.
Epstein died by suicide [wink wink] last August while sitting in a Manhattan jail cell awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.
In the meantime, Maxwell was arrested on July 2 and charged with procuring victims for Epstein. She is also accused of taking part in some of the sexual abuse, but we reported Friday that court documents show Maxwell was having constant orgies with young girls.
