A woman by the name of Virginia Roberts claims that a convicted sex offender, Jeffery Epstein, “trafficked” her to rich, powerful, and famous people while she was underage. One of those people is Prince Andrew, and another is Alan Dershowitz. (source)
Riiiiight.
I suppose that anything is possible.
But, Dersh had this to say:
“I’m planning to file disbarment charges against the two lawyers who signed this petition without even checking the manifests of airplanes or travel itineraries, et cetera,” he said. “I’m also challenging the young woman and the lawyers to level those charges against me outside of the courtroom, so that I can sue them for defamation…..Finally, I’m challenging the woman to file criminal charges against me because the filing of false criminal charges is a crime.” (source)
Ok, fine, I don’t know what “disbarment charges” are either. But, lets face it, you might start speaking a little imprecisely if you had reporters in your face asking you about this kind of thing.
The lawyers in question are Bradley Edwards and Professor Paul Cassell from the University of Utah.
I respect Dershowitz’ challenge. He knows that the lawyers are immune from a defamation suit under the litigation privilege. They know that too.
Its sorta like Dershowitz saying “lets go fight behind the school, where the teachers won’t break it up as I curb stomp you.”
They claim that this all happened, yet nobody brought a civil claim against any of these rich guys? I wasn’t there. So, maybe this all went down the way they say it did. I, for one, call bullshit.
I’ll update this and eat crow if proven otherwise.
UPDATE: There is at least the allegation that there could be photographic evidence. (source)
