In newly unsealed court documents, it has been revealed that Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre was instructed to paint well-known attorney Alan Dershowitz as a pedophile in order to make her book about her sex abuse claims more appealing to publishers. The documents include email correspondence between Giuffre and U.K. journalist Sharon Churcher from May 2011.
In the emails, Giuffre tells Churcher that she found a ghostwriter to pen her story and says, “I wanted to put the names of these a**holes, oops I meant to say, pedo’s, that J.E. sent me to.” Churcher responds by suggesting that Giuffre includes Dershowitz’s name in her pitch, as he represented Claus von Bulow and a movie was made about that case.
Churcher also adds, “We all suspect Alan is a pedo and tho no proof on that, you probably met him when he was hanging out with JE.” However, attorneys for Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s close associate who Giuffre is suing, claim that Giuffre only added Dershowitz to her manuscript after the exchange with Churcher. Furthermore, Giuffre did not allege that she had sex with Dershowitz and only referred to him as Epstein’s business acquaintance.
The documents also reveal that Giuffre did not accuse Dershowitz of having sex with her until December 2014, years after the initial exchange with Churcher. Dershowitz has consistently denied these allegations.
Another email between Giuffre and Churcher includes an allegation about Bill Clinton and Vanity Fair. Giuffre writes, “When I was doing some research into VF yesterday, it does concern me what they could want to write about me considering that B. Clinton walked into VF and threatened them not to write sex-trafficking articles about his good friend J.E.”
These documents are all related to Giuffre’s 2015 civil lawsuit against Maxwell, and they shed new light on the allegations surrounding Epstein and his associates. It is important to note that these allegations are still being investigated and no definitive conclusions have been reached.
