Alan Dershowitz accused -- in open court -- of having sex with victim of billionaire's pedophile ring

Alan Dershowitz was accused in federal appeals court of involvement in billionaire Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged sex trafficking ring, The Daily Beast reported Wednesday evening.

The allegations were made before the Second Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals on Wednesday.

The case is over a lawsuit filed by the Miami Herald and thirty other media organizations to unseal documents in a lawsuit by Virginia Roberts Giuffre.

Giuffre’s attorney, Paul Cassell, said witness testimony shows Dershowitz’s involvement in the alleged trafficking.

“When all the records come out it will show that Epstein and [Epstein’s alleged madam Ghislaine] Maxwell were trafficking girls to the benefit of his friends, including Mr. Dershowitz,” Cassell said.

Epstein is also reportedly friends with President Donald Trump, who Dershowitz frequently defends on television.

Dershowitz attacked the Giuffre outside the courtroom.

“She is hurting the #MeToo movement terribly,” Dershowitz argued.

Dershowitz also had trouble answering if he was still Epstein’s attorney.

“I don’t represent Epstein,” Dershowitz first said.

“You never stop being someone’s lawyer,” Dershowitz then said.

“I was his lawyer until this deal was made,” Dershowitz said next.

I had them for months and months and now they have disappeared from the web. It was one of the more disturbing things I have read. Yes, Epstein was named in them. Yes, girls "took care" of him. I should have printed the damn thing.

I must have been lucky when I saw it because they were definitely unsealed at the time. I am looking for them, they are somewhere out there online.
