1 allegations coming out, Dershowitz called
2 international sex trafficker Epstein to make sure
3 their memories coincided or something like that.
4 And I was afraid if we contacted Alan
5 Dershowitz, what had happened to S.R. was going
6 to happen to Virginia Roberts, which was going to
7 be even worse because she had been hiding out in
8 Australia for a number of years to escape
9 Epstein.
10 And now this would potentially tip him off
11 that she was now back in contact and he would
12 redouble efforts to find her. So I was, frankly
13 again, just speaking for myself, I'm not speaking
14 for my co-counsel, but I was extremely afraid of
15 tipping off Mr. Dershowitz that we were going to
16 be filing this pleading because he would have
17 contacted Epstein in the same intimidation
18 tactics and, indeed, life-threatening tactics
19 that had apparently been used against other
20 witnesses might be used against her.
21 I mean, I also was thinking frankly, about
22 whether to file this pleading, because of the
23 risk that she would be in, but I thought that the
24 safest way to protect her was to file this so
25 that the information was out there.
