He lets no grass grow under his feet in fighting the claim.
Via Washington Examiner:
Unlike other celebrities and politicians who have allowed sexual assault accusations to ruin their careers, attorney Alan Dershowitz is fighting back early — and hard.
Dershowitz, a Harvard Law professor and outspoken critic of how colleges have been handling sexual assault, was accused of having sex with an underage girl by a former witness against billionaire investor Jeffrey Epstein.
Dershowitz categorically denied the allegation, calling it “totally, unequivocally and completely false.”
The woman, identified in court papers as Jane Doe #3, made the allegations last Tuesday against Dershowitz and several prominent Europeans — including Britain’s Prince Andrew.
Jane Doe #3’s complaint accuses Dershowitz and others of taking part in Epstein’s transgressions. Her lawsuit accuses federal prosecutors in Florida of violating the law by not consulting with Epstein’s victims before arranging a deal requiring the investor to be sentenced to 18 months in prison.
