Summary
This document is a court-filed printout of a 'Letter to the Editor' written by Alan Dershowitz to The Harvard Crimson (originally published Dec 5, 2018). In the letter, Dershowitz vehemently denies Virginia Roberts' sexual misconduct allegations, claiming she also lied about Al Gore, Tipper Gore, and Bill Clinton being on Epstein's island. He asserts that Roberts was pressured to frame him to extract money from Leslie Wexner and challenges her to repeat her claims outside of court so he can sue for defamation.

In addition, the judge before whom the accusation was made struck the accusation from the
record and sanctioned her lawyers for filing it. One of her own lawyers then acknowledged that
his client was “wrong” “simply wrong,” and her other lawyers formally withdrew the accusation,
admitting it was a “mistake.”

Not only did Virginia Roberts lie about me, she lied about Al and Tipper Gore and President Bill
Clinton claiming that she met the three of them on Jeffrey Epstein’s island — a claim refuted by
secret service records that established that none of the three were on that island during that
period of time.

There is evidence that directly proves I was framed. These include emails between Roberts and a
journalist, a book manuscript by Roberts and a legal brief that are smoking guns showing that I
was “deliberately framed for financial reasons.” These exculpatory documents have been sealed
by Roberts’ lawyers and I am seeking to make them public.

Roberts' closest friend told me that Roberts told her she “felt pressure to go after [Dershowitz]”
in order to obtain money from Leslie Wexner and that Roberts had never previously included
me among the people with whom she claimed to have had sex. I have a tape recording of this
conversation.

Not surprisingly, Roberts made her false claims against me only in court documents that
immunize her from being sued for defamation. When she was interviewed by the Miami Herald,
she refused to repeat her false allegations outside of court. The Crimson did not ask her directly
to repeat her false allegations to them. As a matter of journalistic ethics, The Crimson should
not have published an accusation without interviewing the accuser on the record. I now
challenge Roberts to repeat her false accusations to The Crimson or other media, so that I can
sue her for defamation and let a jury decide — after seeing all the evidence including the emails
and book manuscript — who is telling the truth and who is lying.

I want an investigation or trial to finally prove that Roberts made up the entire story, so that it
can finally be put to rest.
