Newly unsealed court documents have unveiled email exchanges between Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre and U.K. journalist Sharon Churcher, shedding light on a disturbing revelation. The emails suggest that Giuffre was encouraged to portray renowned attorney Alan Dershowitz as a pedophile in order to make her book about the alleged sexual abuse more appealing to publishers.
Key Takeaway
Newly revealed emails suggest that Virginia Giuffre was encouraged to include Alan Dershowitz as a prominent figure in her book about her experiences with Jeffrey Epstein, raising questions about the motivations behind the book’s content.
Questionable Book Pitch
- Giuffre expressed her intention to include the names of individuals she referred to as “pedos” whom Epstein had allegedly sent her to. Churcher specifically suggested naming Alan Dershowitz, citing his association with Epstein and his previous legal representation of Claus von Bulow.
- Churcher went on to insinuate that Dershowitz might be a pedophile, despite the lack of evidence, and implied that Giuffre may have encountered him during his association with Epstein.
Allegations and Denials
Attorneys for Ghislaine Maxwell, a close associate of Epstein being sued by Giuffre, claim that Dershowitz was only added to the manuscript after the exchange with Churcher. Furthermore, it is noted that Giuffre did not initially accuse Dershowitz of sexual involvement until December 2014, several years after the initial email exchange. Dershowitz has consistently denied these allegations.
Additional Allegations
The unsealed documents also contain an email in which Giuffre expressed concerns about Bill Clinton and Vanity Fair, mentioning that Clinton had allegedly intervened to prevent the publication of sex-trafficking articles about Epstein.
