The defamation case filed against Dershowitz by two other prominent members of the legal
community, high­profile Florida lawyer Brad Edwards and former federal judge Paul Cassell,
just settled. As you may recall, Edwards and Cassell sued Dershowitz for defamation last year
in Florida state court. The two lawyers alleged that Dershowitz defamed them when he claimed
that they knowingly filed a lawsuit containing falsehoods about him or at least failed to
properly investigate their client’s allegations that Dershowitz had sexual relations with her
when she was a minor. Settlement talks in the defamation case have been going on for months,
and the two sides just reached agreement.
Shortly before 5 p.m. today, Edwards and Cassell moved to withdraw their motion for partial
summary judgment. Their moving papers acknowledge a confidential settlement and mutual
release between themselves and Dershowitz, then go on to state:
In the event that the noticed withdrawal is determined to be subject to Court
approval, the Plaintiffs would show in support of this notice that Edwards and
Cassell continue to represent [Dershowitz accuser] Virginia Giuffre in separate pending
matters, and shall continue to advance her legitimate legal interests in those matters. As
expressly understood by the parties upon the execution of the Confidential Settlement
Agreement and Mutual Release, Ms. Giuffre reaffirms her allegations, and the withdrawal
of the referenced filings is not intended to be, and should not be construed as being, an
acknowledgement by Edwards and Cassell that the allegations made by Ms. Giuffre were
mistaken. Edwards and Cassell do acknowledge that the public filing in the Crime Victims’
Rights Act case of their client’s allegations against Defendant Dershowitz became a major
distraction from the merits of the well-founded Crime Victims’ Rights Act case by causing
delay and, as a consequence, turned out to have been a tactical mistake. For that reason,
Edwards and Cassell have chos...

“
A spokesman for Boies, Schiller & Flexner, which also represents Virginia Giuffre, issued this
statement earlier today: “Virginia Giuffre was not a party to that [defamation] lawsuit and was
not a party to the settlement. We continue to represent Ms. Giuffre in other litigation and Ms.
Giuffre stands by her allegations.”
We’ll have more later. We suspect, however, that many of our readers will be disappointed to
learn that this clash of the legal titans has been averted, preventing the allegations on all sides
from being explored in greater depth in open court.
UPDATE (4/9/2016, 10:55 a.m.): Here is the statement of Alan Dershowitz about the
settlement:
I am pleased that the litigation has concluded and I am gratified by the Joint
Statement issued today by Jeffrey E. Streitfeld on behalf of the parties, in which
“Edwards and Cassell acknowledge that it was a mistake to have filed sexual misconduct
accusations against Dershowitz and the sexual misconduct accusations made in all public
filings (including all exhibits) are hereby withdrawn.” Mr. Streitfeld’s announcement and the
Joint Statement are copied below.
You can access mediator Jeffrey Streitfeld’s statement and the joint statement of the parties —
which, to be honest, aren’t very exciting — over here.
Speaking to the Boston Globe, Dershowitz said, “It’s as if I’ve been waterboarded for 15
months. This has taken a terrible toll on my family, on my friends. . . . I never met this woman
[Virginia Giuffre], I didn’t know her.”

Dershowitz Settles Sex Case, But Is He Vindicated?
Alan Dershowitz
I’ve been covering Alan Dershowitz for over a year now, and I can assure you he’s not repressed
(http://www.americanlawyer.com/id=1202715316005/Prof-Dershowitz-Tell-Me-How-You-Really-Feel?
slreturn=20160310223823). When we chatted on the phone on Saturday, he got right to the point: “I got what I always
wanted. They withdrew everything!”
Dershowitz is talking about the settlement that he reached with lawyers Brad Edwards and Paul Cassell
(http://www.americanlawyer.com/id=1202716384195/Meet-the-Lawyer-Whos-Giving-Dershowitz-Hell), who sued the
famous Harvard professor for defamation; Dershowitz also countersued them. (If you need a refresher, the backdrop is
that Edwards and Cassell’s client Virginia Roberts Giuffre accused Dershowitz, along with Prince Andrew and others
(http://www.americanlawyer.com/id=1202716145382/Jane-Doe-3-Swears-She-Had-Sex-with-Dershowitz-), of having
sex with her when she was a minor. Dershowitz denied the charges and accused her two lawyers of acting improperly.)
Last Friday, Edwards and Cassell issued a notice of withdrawal of the motion for partial summary judgement, and the
litigation came to an end. The notice is short and sweet; here’s the key part:
As expressly understood by the parties upon the execution of the Con潖壀dential Settlement Agreement and Mutual
Release, Ms. Giuffre reaf潖壀rms her allegations, and the withdrawal of the referenced 潖壀lings is not intended to be,
and should not be construed as being, an acknowledgement by Edwards and Cassell that the allegations made by
Ms. Giuffre were mistaken. Edwards and Cassell do acknowledge that the public 潖壀ling in the Crime Victims’ Rights
Act case of their clie...

throwing her under the bus,” he explains. “Ultimately, they’ll have to make a claim that it was case of mistaken identity,
that it was done in good faith.”
What might give Dershowitz more satisfaction is the joint statement that he, Edwards and Cassell issued about the
settlement:
Edwards and Cassell maintain that they 潖壀led their client’s allegations in good faith and performed the
necessary due diligence to do so, and have produced documents detailing those efforts. Dershowitz
completely denies any such misconduct, while not disputing Roberts’s statements that the underlying
alleged misconduct may have occurred with someone else. Dershowitz has produced travel and other
records for the relevant times which he relies on to establish that he could not have been present when the
alleged misconduct occurred. He has also produced other evidence that he relies upon to refute the
credibility of the allegations against him.
The parties believe it is time to take advantage of the new information that has come to light on both sides
during the litigation and put these matters behind them.
Given the events that have transpired since the 潖壀ling of the documents in the federal court and in this action
in which Dershowitz was accused of sexual misconduct, including the court order striking the allegations in
the federal court 潖壀lings, and the records and other documents produced by the parties, Edwards and Cassell
acknowledge that it was a mistake to have 潖壀led sexual misconduct accusations against Dershowitz; and the
sexual misconduct accusations made in all public 潖壀lings (including all exhibits) are hereby withdrawn.
Dershowitz also withdraws his accusations that Edwards and Cassell acted unethically.
Lots of legal contortions here, but this is the eye-popper: “Edwards and Cassell acknowledge that it was a mistake to
have 潖壀led sexual misconduct accusations against Dershowitz.” And this time, “mistake” was not preceded with the
word “tactical.” I can only imagine the amount ...

 Following the announcement of the settlement of defamation claims against Alan Dershowitz,
he has been making public statements suggesting that he has prevailed in the lawsuit and that
the terms of the settlement exonerate him of any wrongdoing. Those statements are at best
misleading.
It is a mistake for anyone to conclude based upon Mr. Dershowitz’s statements that the case
against him was abandoned due to lack of factual support. It is a mistake for anyone to conclude
based upon Mr. Dershowitz’s statements that Bradley Edwards and Paul Cassell had determined
that the allegations against Alan Dershowitz made by Virginia Roberts Giuffre were false or
unfounded. Neither the terms of the settlement nor the agreed upon joint public statement issued
as part of the settlement support any such conclusions, and it is false to state or suggest
otherwise.
Pow. Wham. Not sure where this leaves us. It certainly seems that Edwards and Cassell are now backing away from
their “mistake” remark in the joint statement.
For now, at least, Dershowitz says he’s not bothered by that latest comment. Overall, he seems pretty content with the
outcome—though he tells me: “Part of me is disappointed because I wanted to have a trial and have evidence come
out.”
And what has this case cost him? Though Dershowitz says he spent over $1 million on legal fees (insurance covered a
chunk of it), he won’t disclose if the settlement entails any monetary rewards, citing a con潖壀dentiality clause. But he
says he’s not suffering 潖壀nancially because of the ordeal: “I continue to be sought after; people call me every day for
legal work.”

Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP     Document 363-11     Filed 08/11/16     Page 15 of 40
.COM 

Famed lawyer Alan Dershowitz has extended a truce offer to the prominent U.S. litigator David Boies after
the two attorneys squared off in a year­long battle over the handling of underage sex allegations against
Dershowitz.
The allegations were struck from court record last year but have still rankled the 77­year­old Harvard law
professor and prompted him to publicly criticize lawyers representing the alleged victim, Virginia Roberts.
“It’s a tragedy that we have gotten into this personal conflict, and I would like to put this to an end,” said
Dershowitz, in an interview Saturday night, after a defamation settlement with other lawyers in the matter
was announced Friday. “We both do important things and it’s a distraction.”
On Friday, Dershowitz settled a defamation lawsuit with Florida lawyers Bradley Edwards and Paul
Cassell, who sued Dershowitz last year after he made public statements about their representation of
Roberts, including an interview with CNN International in which he called them “sleazy, unprofessional and
unethical.”
The controversy started in December 2014, when Roberts claimed that convicted sex offender Jeffrey
Epstein forced her to have sex with Dershowitz, the U.K’.s Prince Andrew and other men, at Epstein’s
private Caribbean island and other places, more than 15 years ago. Roberts never filed suit against
Dershowitz — Boies pointed to a statute of limitations that restricted her from doing so — but she made the
claims to join a federal case filed in 2008 by other alleged victims of Epstein, who sued the U.S.
government to quash a non­prosecution agreement with Epstein.

Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP     Document 363-11     Filed 08/11/16     Page 16 of 40

Today, no claims are pending against Dershowitz regarding the alleged sex acts, which he and Prince
Andrew have denied. A federal judge last year ordered the claims struck from the record because they
weren’t relevant to the 2008 case. And in the settlement Friday, Edwards and Cassell issued a joint
statement (https://bol.bna.com/wp­content/uploads/2016/04/Dershowitz­Settlement­Release.pdf)
with Dershowitz acknowledging that it was a mistake to have filed sexual misconduct accusations against
him. The pact came with a statement from former FBI director Louis Freeh, who said he conducted an
internal investigation into the accusations against Dershowitz but that “the totality of the evidence” refuted
the claims. Yet, Dershowitz has nonetheless made a point to speak out against Roberts’ lawyers, including
David Boies, who he feels have acted inappropriately for representing a client with frivolous claims, among
other things.
Boies, in an interview, said that “Alan has been loose with some of the things he says” which he said have
been used as a strategy to deflect attention from himself. He also said that Roberts stands by her
allegations against Dershowitz, even though they are no longer filed in court, and that Boies’s firm has
done nothing wrong.
“I don’t know what Mr. Freeh did,” said Boies, in response to the Freeh investigation. “Louis Freeh never
contacted me — he never contacted my client, he never called up Sigrid McCawley, who is the lawyer
day­to­day representing her, to say, ‘Can I see your client? Can I see what documentation your client has?
Can I talk to any other witnesses?'”
Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP     Document 363-11     Filed 08/11/16     Page 17 of 40

Dershowitz responded by saying that if Boies is willing to have Freeh speak with Virginia Roberts, “she
should expect a call next week.” Freeh was not immediately available for comment.
Boies also questioned the terms of the settlement, saying, “What did he have to give up? How much did he
have to pay to avoid this litigation?”
After Friday’s settlement, the only outstanding piece of related litigation against Dershowitz is a motion for
sanctions that Boies’ firm filed in December 2015 in Florida circuit court. The motion said that Dershowitz
disclosed confidential settlement discussions with Roberts’ lawyers and wrongfully characterized what
was said when he told media outlets that Boies told him privately that he believed he was innocent. Boies
disputes he ever said it.
“I am perfectly willing to bury the hatchet with David Boies,” said Dershowitz, on Saturday. “We used to be
friends. I think we had mutual respect for each other. I think it’s a tragedy that we have come into conflict,
and I extend an offer to him to sit down and try to resolve our differences. Just between two old friends —
agree where we agree, disagree where we disagree — shake hands and go on with our lives.”
He said that he likes to live by the Jewish Law called Lashon Hara, which he said prohibits falsely
speaking ill of anybody.
“I actually have told him, that if he thinks I said anything that is wrong, to tell me what it is and I will correct
the record,” said Dershowitz. “I don’t want to say anything false about anybody.”
Dershowitz’s comments came after a contentious back­and­forth set of interviews, in which the two
lawyers went from attacking each other and calling each other liars, to Dershowitz’s nostalgic invitation,
referring to Boies as “an old friend” who he was introduced to years ago through the late Sen. Ted Kennedy
(D­Mass.).
“It has been a disappointment to me that our friendship has been hurt by this conflict, because it’s not really
between me and him — it’s between a woman...

The interviews — two with Dershowitz, and one hour­long interview with Boies — started after
Dershowitz’s defamation settlement was announced on Friday. At first, Dershowitz continued to criticize
Roberts’ lawyers — including Boies, saying that “he has some very hard questions to answer” — and
vowed to advocate for law reform that would prevent meritless claims from being brought against innocent
people. He told Big Law Business that he hopes at least Roberts will be investigated by law officials for
perjury.
Boies fired back, saying that he welcomes law enforcement officials to become involved in the case to
investigate perjury, including any possible perjury Dershowitz could have committed.
Asked what kind of charges could be brought against Dershowitz, Boies said: “I’m not trying to fuel this by
making charges against Alan… His situation is sad enough.”
Dershowitz said he is happy to cooperate with any law agency that would investigate “whether it is she or I
that is lying.” He also said that he took issue with how the sex allegations were handled from the start, in
2014 and 2015.
“It really paints the prominent people in the legal profession in a very bad light,” said Dershowitz. “Lawyers
shouldn’t be doing things like this. They should be careful. They shouldn’t be making mistakes. For them, it
was a mistake, but for me it was 15 months of being waterboarded with these claims, and you can imagine
what it means for my grandchildren. They never even called me and asked if there was any proof that it
could have happened.”
Dershowitz said that he kept meticulous records of his whereabouts through cell phone and other records
and was able to track that he wasn’t near the Caribbean island on dates that Roberts had alleged he had
sex with her, around 2000.
“Remember, I’m a lawyer — I bill by the hour. I have a record of every single day,” said Dershowitz. “She
said she had dinner with Bill Clinton on the island twice, and we did a FOIA request and found that Bill

his claim whatsoever he should bring it to court,” said Sires via email. “He did not do so. He did not do so
because his claim is baseless.”
Earlier on Saturday evening, Boies said in an interview that Dershowitz isn’t a party to any lawsuit he is
handling, and that Dershowitz’s criticism of him and his firm is misplaced.
Boies’s firm is currently only representing Roberts in a defamation case against British socialite Ghislaine
Maxwell for saying that Roberts made “obvious lies” when accusing Maxwell of recruiting Roberts to
become a victim of sex trafficking between 1999 to 2002.
“Alan Dershowitz is not a party to that litigation,” said Boies. “There is a statute of limitations issue. He
could only be sued for sexual abuse of a minor if he waived the statute of limitations, and he has declined
to do that… All he has to do is sign his name — sign a piece of paper like the one that has been given to
him, and if he’s lost it, we’ll give it to him again.”
Instead, Boies said that Dershowitz has reverted to a “very sad” PR campaign against the lawyers
representing Roberts.
Dershowitz disputed Boies’s comments that he declined to waive the statute of limitations, saying that he
filed an affidavit under oath that he never had sex with Roberts, which opened himself up to a perjury
indictment if prosecutors felt that he could have been lying.
But Boies, like Sires, said that Dershowitz has not brought any of his claims against the firm in court, even
though Boies Schiller has encouraged him to do so.
“He’s obviously more comfortable making claims to reporters than he is making claims in court,” said
Boies. “He can get away with that to a point, but he’s not going to get away with that with me. When he first
made these claims with, for example my firm, we wrote him a letter that said, ‘Put up or shut up, bring these
claims to court or move on.’ ”
Dershowitz issued a statement following Boies’s comments, saying, “I may well do so.”

Did Dershowitz Pay Big Bucks to Settle Sex
Case?
Vivia Chen, The Careerist
April 11, 2016
Note: Since the original publication of this post, we've included additional statements by Alan
Dershowitz about the circumstances under which he's prepared to waive confidential
information.
It's not over.
If you thought the settlement that Alan Dershowitz reached on Friday with the lawyers
representing Virginia Roberts Giuffre puts the controversy to bed, you're naive. Possibly 
delusional. (Giuffre alleged that she was coerced into having sex with Dershowitz and others
when she was a minor. Here are details about the settlement.)
The latest bombshell: Jack Scarola, counsel for Giuffre's lawyers Paul Cassell and Bradley
Edwards, emailed me this: "If Mr. Dershowitz were to request a waiver of the confidentiality
provisions, we would agree to the request."
Talk about throwing down the gauntlet! That would mean spilling the terms of the settlement—
about who had to shell out what to make this messy lawsuit go away. I assumed Cassell and
Edwards paid Dershowitz and wanted confidentiality, since they admitted in the settlement to
making "mistakes" in alleging that Dershowitz had sex with Giuffre.
But David Boies, who represents Giuffre in a related matter, tells me I'm off target. In a phone
conversation on Sunday, Boies dangled this tidbit of information before me: "I don't know the
terms of the settlement, but I know that it was proposed that [Edwards and Cassell] be paid
hundreds of thousands of dollars [by Alan Dershowitz] to drop the case." 
My eyes widened. Go on, Mr. Boies, I said. He continued: "Ask Alan Dershowitz who paid
whom. I know Dershowitz asked for confidentiality, and Edwards and Cass...

What is true is that Mr. Edwards and Professor Cassell entered into a monetary settlement
that resolved the defamation claims they filed against Mr. Dershowitz, but they are
precluded from revealing the economic terms of the settlement as the agreement requires
the monetary specifics to remain confidential.
Though Dershowitz, citing the confidentiality agreement, wouldn't comment about
compensation when I asked him about the settlement, Edwards and Cassell's statement makes
it clear that money exchanged hands. But how much? And what about the implication that
Dershowitz was the one who paid big bucks for the settlement that supposedly establishes his
innocence?
I went back to Dershowitz to get some clarity. Clearly miffed, he took umbrage at Boies'
comment: “David Boies doesn’t know terms of the agreement because it’s subject by
confidentiality agreement. My lawyer has advised me that my discussion of the terms would
breach the agreement, but I assure you there’s nothing incriminating.”
So how about waiving the confidentiality agreement to make everything transparent?
Dershowitz's answer: No. "I'm sticking with the agreement . . . My lawyers tell me I can't change
the settlement, which is multi­facted and complex." 
[Addition to original post] Later, he adds, however: "I'd be prepared to enter negotiations to
unseal confidential information and other matters if [Edwards, Cassell and Boies] are prepared
to enter negotiations to unseal Virgina Giuffre's deposition and my affidavit regarding Boies,
which Boies Schiller has demanded be sealed." The point is, he says, is that "it has to be
mutual."
So that's the end of the chapter.
Hah.

Epstein victims’ attorneys clarify settlement

By Michele Dargan
Daily News Staff Writer
The two attorneys who settled a defamation lawsuit with law professor Alan Dershowitz on Friday say they didn’t drop the defamation case against Dershowitz “due to lack of factual
evidence,” according to a statement released Monday.
West Palm Beach Attorney Jack Scarola released the statement on behalf of attorneys Brad Edwards and Paul Cassell, who sued Dershowitz for defamation in January 2015.
Dershowitz filed a defamation counterclaim.
Both sides agreed to drop their cases in Broward County Circuit Court on Friday. Edwards and Cassell “entered into a monetary settlement that resolved the defamation claims,” but
the amount remains confidential, according to their statement.
Edwards and Cassell represent underage victims of Palm Beach billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. One of those victims is Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who alleges Epstein kept
her as a sex slave when she was a minor and made her have sex with his rich and powerful friends. In sworn statements, Giuffre alleged thatshe was made to have sex with
Dershowitz at the behest of Epstein. Dershowitz vigorously denied those claims, saying he’s never met Giuffre.

BY JAY WEAVER
jweaver@miamiherald.com
A major law firm representing renowned defense attorney Alan Dershowitz has claimed
victory in his defamation case against lawyers who accused him of having sex with an
underage South Florida girl more than a decade ago.
“Lawyers acknowledge mistake in filing sexual misconduct charges against Professor
Dershowitz,” read the news release headline issued by the Washington, D.C., firm Wiley
Rein.
Dershowitz told the Miami Herald over the weekend that the accusation was like a “drive-
by shooting.”
But while Dershowitz’s defamation dispute with Fort Lauderdale attorney Bradley Edwards
and colleague Paul Cassell was settled last week for an undisclosed sum, the allegation by a
woman now in her early 30s is not going away — contrary to the former Harvard law
professor’s take.
“It is a mistake for anyone to conclude based upon Mr. Dershowitz’s statements that the
case against him was abandoned due to lack of factual support,” said West Palm Beach
attorney Jack Scarola, who represents Edwards and Cassell, the lawyers for the woman.
The defamation case erupted last year after their client accused Dershowitz of having sex
with her between 1999 and 2002 when the minor was employed by Palm Beach billionaire
Jeffrey Epstein, who later pleaded guilty to a state charge of soliciting minors for
prostitution.
Edwards and Cassell made the allegation against Dershowitz in late 2014 in a lawsuit filed
against the U.S. government. They are seeking to force South Florida federal prosecutors to
break an agreement made years earlier not to charge Epstein and others with running an
alleged international sex ring — a deal brokered by Epstein’s high-profile defense team,
including Dershowitz.

Dershowitz was quoted in news stories published in the Miami Herald and elsewhere that
Edwards and Cassell would be “disbarred” for making the “false” allegation against him.
Instead, Edwards and Cassell sued Dershowitz for defamation in Broward Circuit Court,
and he countersued — leading to last week’s settlement.
The parties’ joint statement on the settlement was murky, leading the Herald to initially
post a report that Edwards and Cassell were going to withdraw their client’s sexual
misconduct accusation against Dershowitz.
Here’s why: A key section of the statement read: “Edwards and Cassell acknowledge that it
was a mistake to have filed sexual misconduct accusations against Dershowitz, and the
sexual misconduct accusations made in all public filings (including all exhibits) are hereby
withdrawn. Dershowitz also withdraws his accusations that Edwards and Cassell acted
unethically.”
In an interview, Dershowitz, who lives in New York City and winters in Miami Beach, told
the Herald that Jane Doe No. 3’s accusations in the federal suit would no longer stand the
test of truth.
“We were able to demonstrate where I was during the relevant time” between 1999 and
2002, said Dershowitz, who hired former FBI director Louis Freeh to investigate the sexual
misconduct allegation. “It just didn’t happen. This is a case where the first time I laid eyes
on this woman was in a deposition three months ago.”
Her explosive accusations were added to the federal suit in which two other alleged victims
— identified as Jane Doe No. 1 and Jane Doe No. 2 in court records — had sought to use
the Crime Victims’ Rights Act to force the U.S. Department of Justice to prosecute Epstein
for sex trafficking of children by fraud, among other offenses.
Her attorneys, Edwards and Cassell, said she and other alleged victims had the right to join
the suit because they were not notified by federal prosecutors when they cut a then-secret
non-prosecution agreement with Dershowitz in September 2007 that immun...

on-going suit against the U.S. government. There is no individual civil suit against
Dershowitz.
The allegations were reported in January 2015 in the Herald in a story written by the
Florida Center for Investigative Reporting.
The story described Epstein as a wealthy Wall Street money manager who traveled the
world in circles that included President Bill Clinton and businessman Donald Trump.
Epstein owned palatial properties not only in Palm Beach, but also Manhattan, the U.S.
Virgin Islands and New Mexico.
That all changed in 2005, when a woman contacted Palm Beach police fearing that Epstein
had molested her 14-year-old daughter. The girl told detectives she’d been invited to
Epstein’s mansion, where she was paid $300 after stripping to her underwear and
massaging Epstein as he masturbated.
Police then located a community college student who gave a sworn statement that she had
taken six girls, all between the ages of 14 and 16, to Epstein. In 2008, Epstein pleaded
guilty to a single felony charge of soliciting minors for prostitution. Epstein, now 63 and
listed on a state registry of sex offenders, served 13 months of an 18-month jail sentence.
After his conviction, Epstein’s story grew even more bizarre, the Herald story reported, with
anonymous women accusing him in federal court of conspiring with Ghislaine Maxwell,
daughter of the late British media baron Robert Maxwell, to operate an international
underage sex ring.
Edwards and Cassell filed their Jane Doe lawsuit against the U.S. government, alleging that
Epstein had committed crimes against their clients, including sex trafficking of children by
fraud.
Their case initially involved two women, identified as Jane Doe No. 1 and Jane Doe No. 2,
who said they were sexually abused by Epstein and trafficked as minors. But in late 2014,
Edwards asked to have two new accusers added to the case — identified as Jane Doe No. 3
and Jane Doe No. 4.
Jane Doe No. 3 alleged in the court filing that Maxwell and Epstein kept her as...

“Epstein’s purpose in ‘lending’ Jane Doe [along with other young girls] to such powerful
people [was] to ingratiate himself with them for business, personal, political and financial
gain, as well as to obtain blackmail information,” the filing alleged.
Jane Doe No. 3 identified one of the men she was forced to have sex with as Dershowitz,
the former Harvard law professor and famous criminal defense lawyer. In the same filing,
she also identified Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, as another alleged offender — an
accusation that Buckingham Palace said was “categorically untrue.”
The court filing — already stricken by a federal judge — was withdrawn as part of the
settlement reached through mediation by former Broward Circuit Court Judge Jeffrey
Streitfeld.
Dershowitz claimed that he was defamed by the sexual-misconduct accusation made in the
filing, asserting Jane Doe No. 3’s lawyers had not done the “necessary due diligence”
beforehand, according to the joint statement of the parties. The lawyers maintained they
filed their client’s allegation in “good faith and performed the necessary due diligence.”
The statement further said: “Dershowitz completely denies any such misconduct, while not
disputing [Jane Doe No. 3’s] statements that the underlying alleged misconduct may have
occurred with someone else.”
“Dershowitz has produced travel and other records for the relevant times which he relies on
to establish that he could not have been present when the alleged misconduct occurred. He
has also produced other evidence that he relies upon to refute the credibility of the
allegations against him.”

The law is not equal for everyone. Men are always named in sexual misconduct suits, and women
never are. In this case, the facts show the allegations to be patently untrue. Yet, the news is filled
with explanations of the withdrawel of charges against Mr. Dershewitz. Why is his accuser still
unnamed? She should be charged with a crime. People should know about her. She is a part of a
major lie, and her false testimony could have brought down many people. 
I want to know who she is, and who is protecting her now. We assume men don't need or want

be too.

James J Pfarr It is referred to as a settlement because he also withdrew his own charges
against the lawyer who brought the suit. It would be a waste of his own time, and he
would still not gain anything. But MY POINT is that the law is not evenly balanced for
men. You ASSUME he is guilty of something, but if he was, there would not be any
settlement, only a court case. He had overwhelming evidence of his own innocence.
Please read the story a few times, and kindly refrain from asking very stupid questions.

Why is there so little emphasis on the fact that Dershowitz withdrew his lawsuit against Edwards
and Cassell? The whole kerfuffle is between lawyers and has nothing to do with with the admitted
pedophile Epatein and his pals/blackmail targets.

Alan Dershowitz and 2 Other Lawyers
Settle Suit and Counter Claim
By BARRY MEIER
APRIL 12, 2016
The noted defense lawyer Alan M. Dershowitz and two lawyers who had sued
him claiming defamation have dropped court actions against each side, ending
a prominent dispute that included accusations of sexual misconduct against
Mr. Dershowitz.
The settlement, announced on Friday, included a financial arrangement.
But a lawyer involved in the case would not say who had paid.
“The contractual terms of the settlement prevent me from saying
anything,” said the lawyer, Jack Scarola, who represents the two lawyers who
had sued Mr. Dershowitz in a circuit court in Florida about a year ago claiming
defamation, Bradley J. Edwards and Paul G. Cassell.
Mr. Dershowitz, who has represented such celebrities as O.J. Simpson
and Leona Helmsley, said he was traveling. However, a spokesman for him,
Richard Simpson, declined to discuss the agreement’s financial arrangements
saying they were confidential.

The dispute traces back to Mr. Dershowitz’s representation of Jeffrey E.
Epstein, a money manger who was accused a decade ago of paying underage
girls for sexual services. Mr. Epstein subsequently pleaded guilty to two
charges and was sentenced to 18 months in jail, though he was allowed to
spend many days working on the outside.
In 2014, one of Mr. Epstein’s accusers, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, claimed
in court papers filed in a lawsuit seeking to have his plea agreement thrown
out, that Mr. Dershowitz had sex with her while she was a teenager. Mr.
Dershowitz adamantly denied the assertions and described her lawyers, Mr.
Edwards and Mr. Cassell, as “villains” who had fabricated the charges.
The two men subsequently sued Mr. Dershowitz claiming defamation, and
he responded with a counterclaim. Meanwhile, a judge struck Ms. Giuffre’s
comments from a court filing.
Under the settlement, Mr. Edwards and Mr. Cassell acknowledged
making what they described as a “tactical mistake” in filing the sexual
misconduct accusations against Mr. Dershowitz as part of a lawsuit in which
he was not a party.
However, they issued a statement saying their client, Ms. Giuffre, stands
behind her claims.
Mr. Dershowitz has said he has travel records and other documents to
prove that he was not in same place as Ms. Giuffre when she claims they had
encounters.
On Friday, he released a statement by Louis J. Freeh, the former director
of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, whom Mr. Dershowitz hired to
investigate the matter.
“Our investigation found no evidence to support the accusations of sexual
misconduct,” Mr. Freeh’s statement said.

What's Everyone Hiding in the Dershowitz
Case?
Vivia Chen, The Careerist
April 14, 2016
I feel like a carrier pigeon in a game of chicken. Sorry for those fowl metaphors, but that's how it
is.
Last time I reported on the Alan Dershowitz's legal morass, the hot issue was what was hiding
in the confidentiality agreement in his settlement with lawyers Bradley Edwards and Paul
Cassell. Dershowitz wouldn't say, but Edwards and Cassell added a twist: They'll waive
confidentiality. In response, Dershowitz said he'd waive it too, provided that (1) Edwards,
Cassell and Boies Schiller & Flexner agree "to unseal Virgina Giuffre's deposition;" and (2)
Boies Schiller release Dershowitz's affidavit regarding David Boies.
I conveyed Dershowitz's offer to Edwards and Cassell. And their lawyer Jack Scarola emailed
me this:
There is no need to negotiate anything with Bradley Edwards and Professor Paul Cassell.
They unconditionally accept Alan Dershowitz's offer and are willing to agree to a mutual
waiver of the confidentiality of all defamation claim­related filings and settlement
documents. The agreement would become effective immediately upon receipt of an email
response from Alan Dershowitz which need say nothing more than "I agree."
Easy, breezy, right? Ha. The stickler is that what Dershowitz wants released is Giuffre's
desposition and his affidavit regarding Boies. To those conditions, Scarola's response is, hey,
that's not in our control:
The deposition and affidavit referenced by Mr. Dershowitz were sealed by court order
based upon a request made by the Boies Schiller law firm to protect their client.  Those
rights are not negotiable.  What’s more, those rights have nothing to do with the amount
of money involved in the settlement of the defamation lawsuit.  Any matters relating to
David Boies and the Motion for Contempt pending against Mr. ...

are playing team tag. Any negotiation must involve them all." 
True, Boies was in the loop for a while. According to Boies and Dershowitz, Boies acted as a
go­between between the Harvard law professor and Edwards and Cassell in settlement talks
last year. Boies, however, was not involved in the final settlement. (Since last year, Boies
Schiller has been representing Giuffre in her defamation suit against heiress Ghislaine Maxwell,
who allegedly recruited her to serve as a sex slave for billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, a former friend
and former client of Dershowitz.)
Is there a chance that Boies will release the documents that are the conditions of Dershowitz's
waiver? Hell, no. Boies' spokesperson would barely dignify my query with a direct response:
"David Boies is going to take Mr. Dershowitz at his word that he wants to avoid further debate,
and he will not respond further unless Mr. Dershowitz makes additional assertions to which he
has to respond."
Indeed, it would be shocking if Boies Schiller agreed to release those documents. In December,
the firm sought an emergency order to seal Dershowitz's affidavit, which the court granted. In
January, the firm also sought sanctions against Dershowitz for violating the terms of the order.
(The sanction hearing, according to the firm, is scheduled for May.) Boies claims in the sanction
motion that Dershowitz repeatedly tried to put false information from the confidential settlement
discussions into the record.
Both sides seem to have something they don't want out of the bag. For Dershowitz, it's the
terms of the settlement. Assuming he coughed up big bucks to get the settlement, as Boies had
suggested to me, some people might jump to the conclusion that the sexual allegations against
Dershowitz might not be totally baseless. But there might be other reasons that have nothing to
do with the sexual allegations, such as Dershowitz's concern that Edwards and Cassell might
win their defamation suit against him. Who really knows?...

SEASON IN REVIEW
Dershowitz, Croghan, DeRosa: Busy season in Palm Beach court cases
Related
By Michele Dargan
Daily News Staff Writer
Among the notable court news this season was the settlement of a high­profile defamation case between law professor Alan Dershowitz and the two attorneys who represent
victims of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Attorneys Brad Edwards and Paul Cassell sued Dershowitz for defamation in January 2015 and Dershowitz filed a defamation counterclaim.
Edwards and Cassell represent Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who alleges Epstein kept her as a sex slave when she was a minor and made her have sex with his rich and powerful
friends.
>More on Palm Beach billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein case
In a federal lawsuit filed by Edwards and Cassell, Giuffre gave sworn statements, alleging she was made to have sex with Dershowitz at the behest of Epstein. Dershowitz
vigorously denied those claims, saying he’s never met Giuffre.
Dershowitz then went on a media blitz, calling into question the two attorneys’ ethics for making Giuffre’s claims public when he insisted the allegations weren’t true. That led to the
dueling lawsuits.
Both sides agreed to drop their cases in Broward County Circuit Court last month.
> Palm Beach Season In Review
Dershowitz issued a statement saying he was pleased the litigation was over and that Edwards and Cassell acknowledged it was a “mistake” to have filed sexual misconduct
accusations against him. He also released a statement by former FBI Director Louis Freeh, saying Freeh had supervised an independent investigation that “found no evidence to
support the accusations of sexual misconduct against Professor Dershowitz.”
Edwards and Cassell followed with their own statement, saying they didn’t drop the defamation case against Dershowitz “due to lack of factual evidence … There was no...
