Dershowitz to Newsmax: Want All to Know I Was Falsely Accused

Famed criminal defense attorney Alan Dershowitz, the subject of a documentary airing on Newsmax Sunday night about the fight to clear his name after being accused of a crime by one of sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s victims, said Sunday he has not seen the program but insisted everyone knows he was falsely accused. 

“People right from the beginning said, ‘Just ignore it, let it go away,'” Dershowitz, a Harvard Law professor emeritus, told Newsmax’s “Sunday Agenda.” “I don’t want it to go away. I want everyone to understand what happened and that I was falsely accused and that if I was falsely accused, anyone could be falsely accused, and that if you’re innocent, you have to fight back.”

Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who recently died by suicide, had claimed that Epstein had forced her, while she was a minor, to have sex with Dershowitz and others. She later admitted she may have been mistaken about Dershowitz, he pointed out Sunday.
