Summary
This document is a scan of pages 262-263 from the book 'Filthy Rich' (evidenced by the header), containing a transcript of a deposition, likely of Alan Dershowitz. The speaker describes contacting Abigail Wexner to warn her of an 'extortion plot' against her husband, Leslie Wexner, involving Virginia Roberts and attorney Brad Edwards. The speaker also details his efforts to persuade ABC not to air Virginia Roberts' story, claiming it was false, and argues that Roberts' failure to name him initially proves his innocence.

"Because Virginia Roberts said that she was going to seek justice from everybody that had abused her. And if she didn't want to name me, I think the inference is inescapable that I was not among those people that she had had any sexual contact with."Source

Q: Let's see if we can make sure that we're understanding one
another, sir. Do you recognize that there's a distinction
between Virginia Roberts having met you, having been sexu-
ally abused by you on multiple occasions, but not wanting to
name you as opposed to Virginia Roberts never having met
you and never having been sexually abused by you...? Are
those two things different in your mind?
A: Not in the context of this case. Because Virginia Roberts said
that she was going to seek justice from everybody that had
abused her. And if she didn't want to name me, I think the
inference is inescapable that I was not among those people
that she had had any sexual contact with. So that was cer-
tainly the inference I drew....
