<span style="color:blue">Alan M. Dershowitz</span></a> as he was giving a fiery speech defending Israel. The disruption normally would not have fazed Mr. Dershowitz, a former Harvard Law School professor who thrives on controversy and relishes taking on opponents
in and out of the courtroom.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The protesters, however, were not challenging his Middle East politics. Instead, they held up a sign
reading, “You Are Rape Culture.”<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Mr. Dershowitz knew what it meant. A decade ago, he had defended a friend, a money manager named
Jeffrey E. Epstein, after authorities in Palm Beach, Fla., found evidence indicating that he was paying underage girls to give him sexual massages. The lawyer led a scorched-earth attack on the girls and, with a team of high-priced lawyers, cut a plea deal
for Mr. Epstein that the local police said was too lenient.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Over a five-decade career, Mr. Dershowitz has represented some of America’s most prominent criminal
defendants, including O. J. Simpson, Leona Helmsley, Mike Tyson and Claus von Bulow. Now, he finds himself on the other side, in a legal battle to clear his own name. At 77, he is struggling to absorb a bitter lesson — that choosing the wrong client can exact
its own cost.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Last December, as part of a filing in an ongoing lawsuit, a woman charged that Mr. Dershowitz had
sex with her when she was underage. Mr. Dershowitz called the claim an “outrageous lie” and over the last year has faced fallout from the accusation.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">“This is very serious,” Mr. Dershowitz said last month at his apartment in Manhattan. “It involves
my life, my legacy, my career, my history, my reputation.”<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">As he has defended that legacy, there has been a lawsuit, a counterclaim and even an accusation of
an extortion plot against the billionaire Leslie H. Wexner, the chairman of L Brands, the retail empire that includes Victoria’s Secret and Henri Bendel. It also has pitted Mr. Dershowitz against another of the nation’s most famous lawyers,

<span style="color:blue">David Boies</span></a>, who represents his accuser.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The two lawyers are in an increasingly virulent war. In October, Mr. Dershowitz testified in a deposition
that Mr. Boies had privately assured Mr. Dershowitz that he did not believe the claims of his client, Virginia Roberts Giuffre. “He said that he would not have taken this case if they had known she was going to accuse me,” Mr. Dershowitz said recently.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Mr. Boies responded that he never made such a statement. “The only explanation I have is that he
is so emotional about this that he starts saying things without being careful,” Mr. Boies said in an interview. “He has been someone whose approach in litigation is to attack the other side.”<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">In recent weeks, efforts to resolve the thicket of legal actions have begun, but Mr. Dershowitz insists
that any settlement must clear him of sexual wrongdoing. The woman accusing Mr. Dershowitz has not filed a complaint with the authorities or a lawsuit against him. Instead, her allegation first emerged in a lawsuit that challenged Mr. Epstein’s plea agreement.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Mr. Dershowitz long taught his students that everyone, even those charged with the most heinous crimes,
deserves a defense. But he now says he hesitated when Mr. Epstein called him in 2006 to ask for help because he was being investigated in connection with sex crimes.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">“I said, ‘Look, you know Jeffrey, we’re acquaintances, maybe that’s not such a great idea,” Mr. Dershowitz
said. “He said, ‘No, no, no, I really need you to do this.’”<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The case, Mr. Dershowitz realized, “was right in my wheelhouse.”<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">In December 2005, a few months before he got that phone call, Mr. Dershowitz, his wife, children
and grandchildren were vacationing at Mr. Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The friendship between the men started in the mid-1990s on Martha’s Vineyard. Not long after they
met, Mr. Epstein invited Mr. Dershowitz to a birthday party for Mr. Wexner. Instead of accepting presents, the retail magnate had a tradition of asking friends to bring the most interesting person they had met over the last year.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">“He said, ‘I’d like to bring you,’” Mr. Dershowitz said.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">By any measure, Mr. Dershowitz had led an interesting life. At 28, after clerking for a Supreme Court
justice, Mr. Dershowitz became the youngest professor ever hired by Harvard Law School. It was outside the classroom, however, where his fame grew. He handled celebrated cases, appeared as television commentator and wrote many books, fiction and nonfiction.
His account of the von Bulow case, “Reversal of Fortune,” was made into a film in 1990 in which the actor Ron Silver donned a bushy mustache and aviator glasses to play Mr. Dershowitz.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Along with enjoying celebrity, Mr. Dershowitz has also relished excoriating those he considers foes.
He has taken on journalists, chided universities for coddling students and has been relentless in his defense of Israel, for example, accusing the writer Alice Walker of bigotry for refusing to allow an Israeli publisher to translate her novel “The Color Purple.”<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Soon after meeting Mr. Epstein, Mr. Dershowitz became drawn into his rarefied world. Mr. Epstein
was an enigmatic figure living in an Upper East Side mansion once owned by Mr. Wexner, who had reportedly been his mentor. A college dropout who once worked for Bear Stearns, Mr. Epstein said he handled investments for billionaires, though other than Mr. Wexner,
he declined to identify them.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Along with prominent businessmen, Mr. Epstein’s friends included scientists, socialites and celebrities.
He donated $30 million to finance scientific research at Harvard. President Bill Clinton and the actor Kevin Spacey flew aboard his private jet to Africa to discuss AIDS policy.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Mr. Dershowitz also traveled on Mr. Epstein’s plane and was invited to join his chats with Ehud Barak,
the former Israeli prime minister. The men grew so close that Mr. Dershowitz solicited Mr. Epstein’s feedback as he was writing books.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">In the interview in his Manhattan apartment, Mr. Dershowitz said Mr. Epstein was often surrounded
by young women, but none struck him as underage. “I never got involved in his social life,” he said.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">However, in late 2005, around the time when Mr. Dershowitz and his family were vacationing at Mr.
Epstein’s home, Palm Beach detectives were sifting through the trash outside. Acting on a tip, the authorities were investigating whether women working as assistants to Mr. Epstein were finding teenage girls to give him sexual massages. As the inquiry unfolded,
detectives spoke with girls, some of whom were 15 or younger.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">After taking the case, Mr. Dershowitz responded, as was his way, with hardball tactics. He gathered
information from the girls’ postings on social media accounts, which he claimed showed they were drug users or had lied to Mr. Epstein about their age. He also helped put together a defense team that included Roy Black, the prominent trial lawyer, and Kenneth
W. Starr, who led the investigation into President Bill Clinton’s involvement with Monica Lewinsky.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">A local prosecutor, after meetings with Mr. Epstein’s defense team, recommended that he be charged
only with a misdemeanor. The chief of the Palm Beach police department was so outraged by the proposal that he wrote a letter to the Justice Department asking it to get involved in the case.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Over time, authorities found evidence suggesting that Mr. Epstein had paid dozens of girls for sexual
services. However, Mr. Dershowitz and other lawyers struck a deal in which Mr. Epstein agreed to plead guilty in a Florida court to one count of soliciting prostitution and another of procuring a person under 18 for prostitution. At the same time, federal
officials agreed not to bring charges against Mr. Epstein or any of his potential co-conspirators.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">A Florida judge sentenced Mr. Epstein to 18 months in jail, though he was allowed to spend days working
on the outside. He was released in 2009 after serving 13 months — a shortened sentence for good behavior — and had to register as a sex offender.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Twenty years ago, Mr. Dershowitz received death threats after he helped secure Mr. Simpson’s acquittal
on murder charges. And as a writer, he has imagined even worse plots. In one of his legal thrillers, “The Advocate’s Devil,” a lawyer discovers that a man for whom he had won an acquittal on rape charges is stalking his daughter.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">But Mr. Epstein’s case has come back to haunt him in ways he never expected. “I have been criticized

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The events that pulled him back into Mr. Epstein’s orbit began unfolding in 2008. That year, two
lawyers, Bradley J. Edwards and Paul G. Cassell, filed a lawsuit accusing the Justice Department of violating the rights of two women involved in Mr. Epstein’s case by not allowing them to challenge his plea deal.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Then, in 2011, a British newspaper, The Mail on Sunday, published an article about Virginia Roberts
Giuffre, another of Mr. Epstein’s accusers, who was then living in Australia. Ms. Giuffre, now a 32-year-old mother of three, told the newspaper that Mr. Epstein first started paying her for sexual services when she was 15. She also described traveling around
the world on Mr. Epstein’s jet.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

Dershowitz and another friend of Epstein’s in hopes of recovering $1 billion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">“Over the course of several conversations in person, over the phone, and on Skype,” Dershowitz’s affidavit says, “Mr. Boies repeatedly stated that he did not believe the
allegations that [his client] had made against me were factually true.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

say anything like that.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

statements that I quote in my affidavit,” Dershowitz said. “It’s one thing to deny making them to the media. It’s quite another thing to deny them under pains and penalties of perjury.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">I really like this picture of Orgy Epstein, Dirty Dershowitz and Harvard. Just shows you that the sub silentio Motto of Harvard is: Cupiditas! As for #MeToo Dirty Dersh his Motto while travelling on Epstein’s
Lolita Express to and from Epstein’s Orgy Island in order to cavort with underage girls, prostitutes and their Male Sexual Predators and Abusers with one of the girls alleging that #MeToo Dirty Dersh had abused her (last time I read being represented by David
Boies and his law firm) is: Semper Ubi Sub Ubi! Be sure to wear your Tighty Whities for his events on April 26—on your head! Fab.<o:p></o:p></p>
