Summary
This document is a page from a court filing (Case 1:19-cv-03377) containing a statement by Alan Dershowitz responding to a Raw Story article titled 'Trump Defender Alan Dershowitz is deeply involved in the sordid Jeffrey Epstein scandal.' In the text, Dershowitz categorically denies ever meeting or having sex with Virginia Roberts, claiming she fabricated the story for money, and challenges her to repeat the claims out of court so he can sue for defamation. An Editor's Note from Raw Story clarifies that their article reported on accusations leveled by others rather than making the claims directly.

Case 1:19-cv-03377 Document 1-2 Filed 04/16/19 Page 4 of 4
One of Roberts own lawyers has acknowledged in front of witnesses that Roberts' claims against me are "wrong" "simply wrong." The evidence of my innocence is indisputable: I never met Roberts; I never had sex with her; she simply made up the entire story for money.
Roberts made her false claims against me in court documents that immunize her from being sued for defamation. I challenge her to repeat her false accusations out of court, 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.
Editors Note: Professor Alan Dershowitz sent the previous response to our story, "Trump Defender Alan Dershowitz is deeply involved in the sordid Jeffrey Epstein scandal." In his response, Mr. Dershowitz claims Raw Story accused him of having sexual encounters with Virginia Roberts. Upon careful review of our story, both before and after publication, this is not the case. Our story reports the accusations leveled by others.
