Summary
This document is an affidavit (page 3 of 6) filed in July 2019, detailing how attorneys (the affiant and Mr. Edwards) connected with witness Virginia Roberts Giuffre in 2014 for the CVRA case. It describes a May 2014 interview in Fort Lauderdale where the attorneys determined Giuffre's allegations of sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein and Alan Dershowitz were credible. Due to limited resources, the attorneys sought the assistance of David Boies and his firm to handle potential civil lawsuits against Epstein's 'rich and powerful friends'.
