Summary
In this Miami Herald opinion letter, Alan Dershowitz categorically denies Virginia Roberts' allegations of sexual abuse, stating he never met her and never had sex with her. He claims to have produced travel, phone, credit card, and TV appearance records that conclusively prove he was not present at any of the locations Roberts identified. Dershowitz alleges that Roberts made false claims against other individuals including Al Gore, Tipper Gore, and Bill Clinton, with Secret Service records contradicting her claims. He references sealed evidence, including emails and a book manuscript, that he claims prove he was deliberately framed for financial reasons.

It then simply says I “denied” it.In fact, I disproved it. I produced my travel, phone, credit card and TV appearancerecords, conclusively proving that I could not have been and was not in any of theseplaces during the time Roberts knew Epstein. The former FBI director, assisted by aformer assistant U.S. attorney and a chief federal marshal, reviewed these records andthe other evidence and concluded that, “The totality of the evidence found during theinvestigation refutes the allegations.”There is other evidence, currently under seal, that directly establishes my innocence. I amseeking to unseal emails between Roberts and a journalist, a book manuscript by Robertsand a legal brief that are smoking guns showing that I was “deliberately framed forfinancial reasons.”ADVERTISINGinRead invented by TeadsThere is also irrefutable evidence that Roberts lied about other people for money. Shetold a British tabloid that she met Al and Tipper Gore on Epstein’s island and swore thatshe had dinner with Bill Clinton on the island. But Secret Service records prove that noneof these people were on the island. Indeed, the Gores didn’t even know Epstein.Get six months of free digital access to the Miami HeraldI have a tape recording of a conversation with Roberts’ closest friend in which she saysthat Roberts told her she “felt pressure to go after [Dershowitz]” in order to obtainmoney from a wealthy businessman, and that Roberts had never previously included meamong the people with whom she claimed to have had sex.Finally, one of Roberts’ own lawyers has acknowledged in front of witnesses that herclaims against me are “wrong” “simply wrong.”The evidence of my innocence is indisputable: I never met Roberts; I never had sex withher; she simply made up the entire story for money.Roberts made her false claims against me in court documents that immunize her frombeing 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,1/2Case 1:19-cv-03377 Document 1-3 Filed 04/16/19 Page 3 of 3including the suppressed emails and book manuscript — who is telling the truth and whois lying.2/2
