A woman who says she was one of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims may add sex-abuse claims to a defamation lawsuit against Alan Dershowitz, her lawyer said at a hearing in Manhattan federal court Monday.
Virginia Giuffre, who says she was forced to have sex with friends and acquaintances of Epstein, including Dershowitz, sued the emeritus Harvard Law School professor for defamation in April, after he repeatedly denied her claims and called her a liar. Dershowitz counter-sued her for defamation and infliction of emotional distress.
