Seems About Right

If true, this would be the least surprising thing I’ve ever read in print.

Also accused in the court filing this week of sexually abusing Jane Doe #3 was noted law professor Alan Dershowitz.

“[Self-made billionaire Jeffrey] Epstein required Jane Doe #3 to have sexual relations with Dershowitz on numerous occasions while she was a minor, not only in Florida but also on private planes, in New York, New Mexico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands,” the filing states.

Dershowitz issued an adamant denial, saying the case “is all about money.”

“The entire story is completely made up,” Dershowitz said in the statement.

“I have challenged her lawyers for her to repeat these statements in public so that I can sue them for defamation and I have challenged her to file criminal charges against me, because the filing of false criminal charges, which this one is, is a serious crime,” he added.

Desrchowitz actually represented Epstein in some of his legal cases, which have included at least 17 settlements. From what I understand, Epstein is now a registered sex offender and actually served jail time for soliciting sex from underage girls. There’s now a new lawsuit that names not only Dershowitz but also Prince Andrew as people who engaged in inappropriate conduct with minors procured by Mr. Epstein.

This isn’t a case of where there’s smoke, there’s fire because we know there was plenty of fire.

Jose Alessi, a former houseman, told cops that Epstein would receive three massages daily and that his masseuses were “younger and younger” and “appeared to be sixteen or seventeen years of age at the most.” He also reported that following Epstein massages he sometimes had to “wash off a massager/vibrator and a long rubber penis” which had been left in a sink. Alfredo Rodriguez, a former house manager, told probers that he “knew” Epstein’s masseuses were still in high school. Rodriguez also told of having to “wipe down” vibrators and sex toys post-massage and returning them to an armoire near Epstein’s bed. In a 2002 New York magazine profile of Epstein, Donald Trump called the moneyman a “terrific guy” who “likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

I think The Donald’s personal testimony ought to suffice here.

Perhaps he can appear at Dershowitz’s trial and talk about what a “terrific guy” he is, too.
