Plaintiff, 
formerly known as 'for 
her 
Complaint against Defendant, Alan Dershowitz, avers upon personal knowledge as to her own 
acts and status and upon information and belief and to all other matters: 
NATURE OF THE ACTION 
1. 
This suit arises out of Defendant's sexual abuse of Plaintiff, his defamatory 
statements of and concerning Plaintiff, and his unlawful interception of Plaintiff's 
communications. 
2. 
During 2000-2002, beginning when Plaintiff was 16, Plaintiff was the victim of 
sex trafficking and abuse by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. 
3. 
Epstein's trafficking scheme involved recruiting young girls, often by claiming 
they would be paid $200 for simply providing a massage to a wealthy billionaire. The young girl 
would then be brought up to Epstein's bedroom where Epstein would be on a massage table; 
Epstein would then sexually abuse the girl. This same pattern was repeated numerous times with 
numerous children. 
4. 
"From between about 1999 and 2007, Jeffrey Epstein sexually abused more than 
30 minor girls . . . at his mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, and elsewhere in the United States and 
overseas.... In addition to his own sexual abuse of the victims, Epstein directed other persons to 
abuse the girls sexually. Epstein used paid employees to find and bring minor girls to him. 
Epstein worked in concert with others to obtain minors not only for his own sexual gratification, 
but also for the sexual gratification of others." Opinion and Order, Doc. No. 435 at 1-2, Jane 
Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2 v. United States, Case No. 9:08-cv-80736 (S.D. Fla. Feb. 21,2019) 
("Order") (internal citations omitted). One of the persons with whom Epstein acted in concert 
was Defendant.

Case 1:19-cv-03377-LAP Document 101-1 Filed 12/20/19 Page 4 of 41 
5. 
Like other minor children who came before and after her, Plaintiff was initially 
recruited to provide massages, and thereafter to engage in a variety of sexual acts, for Epstein. 
Plaintiff was required to be on call for Epstein for sexual purposes and frequently traveled with 
him both nationally and internationally. Plaintiff was regularly abused by Epstein and was lent 
out by Epstein to others for sexual purposes. 
6. 
Defendant was Epstein's lawyer, close friend, and co-conspirator. Defendant was 
also a participant in sex trafficking, including as one of the men to whom Epstein lent out 
Plaintiff for sex. Between 2000 and 2002, Defendant sexually abused Plaintiff on numerous 
occasions, including at least once in New York. 
7. 
When Epstein was arrested for sex trafficking in 2006, Defendant defended his 
friend and client by falsely attacking the truthfulness of his accusers, including calling the 
children whom Epstein had abused (and, in the case of Plaintiff, whom the Defendant himself 
had also abused) liars and prostitutes. 
8. 
Despite his significant criminal activity, Epstein's criminal charges were resolved 
by a guilty plea to a single Florida state law charge and a non-prosecution agreement ("NPA") 
with the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida. Unknown to the public and the 
victims at the time, Epstein's lawyers, including Defendant, were pressuring the Government to 
commit to the NPA without informing the victims. Epstein's multiple victims, including 
Plaintiff, were kept in the dark and many victims were told to be "patient" while Defendant 
participated in the drafting of the NPA and worked to protect Epstein and other "potential co-
conspirators" (including himself) from prosecution. 
9. 
On July 7, 2008, a challenge to the NPA was brought on behalf of two of 
Epstein's victims (not including Plaintiff) based on the fact that, contrary to the requirements of 
3 
EFTA00092650

Case 1:19-cv-03377-LAP Document 101-1 Filed 12/20/19 Page 5 of 41 
the Crime Victims' Rights Act (the "CVRA"), the NPA had been concealed from Epstein's 
victims. 
10. 
In December 2014, Plaintiff, who had not initially been part of the CVRA action, 
was asked to, and did, provide information to plaintiffs' lawyers in the CVRA case in which she 
discussed her sex trafficking by Epstein. On December 31, 2014, Plaintiff's lawyers in the 
CVRA proceeding (Brad Edwards and Paul Cassell) filed a Motion Pursuant to Rule 21 for 
Joinder in the Action ("Joinder Motion") on behalf of Plaintiff. Plaintiff's joinder motion 
described how she had been sexually trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and was forced to have sex 
with, among others, Defendant. 
11. 
Based on Plaintiff's December 2014 filing, Defendant, as he had previously done 
to Epstein's victims, publicly and viciously attacked Plaintiff's lawyers in the CVRA actions, 
Brad Edwards and Paul Cassell. Defendant, in nationally televised news interviews, wrongfully 
claimed that Edwards and Cassell had engaged in unethical behavior warranting disbarment for 
filing the Joinder Motion that described Defendant's involvement with Epstein and Plaintiff. 
Edwards, who is a prominent lawyer for sexually abused women and children, and Cassell, who 
is a former United States District Court judge who left the bench to advocate for criminal 
victims, sued Defendant for defamation. Edwards and Cassell asserted that the factual allegations 
that Defendant had knowledge of and participated in Epstein's criminal conduct were entirely 
proper and well founded and that Defendant's statements about Edwards and Cassell were 
defamatory. 
12. 
In April 2016, Defendant settled the Edwards and Cassell defamation claims 
against him. As a condition of the settlement, Defendant required that the financial terms of the 
settlement be kept confidential.

13. 
In November 2018, after conducting a lengthy investigation that involved 
interviewing over eighty (80) women, the Miami Herald published the first in a series of articles 
exposing how Epstein and his lawyers had corrupted the legal system to obtain the NPA and 
referring to Defendant's sexual abuse of Plaintiff. Defendant's response on behalf of himself and 
his client and co-conspirator Epstein has been a desperate barrage of false and increasingly 
defamatory attacks on Plaintiff. The purpose and effect of these attacks has been to damage 
Plaintiff's reputation and credibility and to try to intimidate her into silence. 
14. 
Defendant's central assertion is that Plaintiff has committed perjury, and that in 
December 2014, Plaintiff and her lawyers hatched a scheme to falsely accuse Defendant of sex 
trafficking as part of a criminal attempt to extort a settlement from another party. 
15. 
As Defendant well knew, Defendant's assertion was false. Defendant knew that 
he had in fact had sex with Plaintiff. Defendant also knew that Plaintiff's assertions about 
Defendant were not part of any criminal extortion plot. Indeed, Plaintiff had identified Defendant 
as a sexual predator years before December 2014. 
16. 
Defendant's knowledge of the falsity of his attacks on Plaintiff have not, however, 
limited the scope or scale of those attacks. 
17. 
Examples of Defendant's knowingly false and malicious defamatory statements 
are: 
(a) 
November 28, 2018, in an interview with the Miami Herald: "[T]he story 
was 100 percent flatly categorically made-up," and "Roberts and her attorneys 
fabricated the assertion in order to get money from other powerful, wealthy 
people ...." I

December 1, 2018, in a letter to the editor of Raw Story: "I never met

(c) 
December 2, 2018, in a letter to the editor of the Miami Herald: "I was 
'deliberately framed for financial reasons"; Plaintiff made her claims about 
Defendant "in order to obtain money from a wealthy businessman, and . . . Roberts 
had never previously included me among the people with whom she claimed to 
have had sex"; "one of Roberts' own lawyers has acknowledged in front of 
witnesses that her claims against me are `wrong' simply wrong"; "I never met 
Roberts; I never had sex with her; she simply made up the entire story for money.s3
(d) 
December 4, 2018, in an interview on the Law&Crime Network: Plaintiff 
is a "certified, complete, total liar"; "I can prove conclusively that she made the 
whole thing up." At the same time Defendant claimed "that the FBI recognized the 
evidence showed he was not where she said he was."' 
(e) 
December 5, 2018, in a letter to the editor of The Harvard Crimson: 
"Roberts made up the accusation out of whole cloth in order to obtain millions of 
dollars from Leslie Wexner," and "[t]here is evidence that directly proves I was 
framed. These include emails between Roberts and a journalist, a book manuscript 
by Roberts and a legal brief that are smoking guns showing that I was `deliberately 
framed for financial reasons?'S

accused me started to commit their perjury only after they met David Boies. In other 
words, in every case, the woman said, 'I didn't have anything to do with 
Dershowitz. I never met him or had no association with him.' And then they meet 
David Boies, and suddenly they make accusations. There's a term for that, and I 
want the federal government to be examining whether Boies is guilty of subornation 
of perjury. I want the federal government to examine whether Boies is guilty of 
extortion, of trying to get a billion dollars from Leslie Wexner by essentially saying

In addition to these examples, in countless public statements, Defendant has 
accused Plaintiff of being a liar, of lying, and has otherwise impugned her integrity and 
reputation for truthfulness. 
19. 
Defendant knew his assertions about Plaintiff, including his assertions referenced 
in paragraph 17 above, were, and would be taken by persons who read and heard them to be, 
specific statements of fact. 
20. 
Defendant has repeatedly, publicly claimed that he wanted to have a trial that 
would determine the facts concerning his conduct. He said on national television that he would 
waive the statute of limitations so that Plaintiff could sue him for sex abuse. However, when 
Plaintiff's lawyer asked Defendant to do so, Defendant refused—and continues to refuse. 
21. 
When Defendant was faced with an actual case brought by Plaintiff's then-
lawyers Edwards and Cassell, which would have determined the veracity of Plaintiff's claims, 
however, Defendant settled to avoid that determination. 
22. 
More recently, Defendant has again taken to claiming publicly that he demands a 
trial on the question whether Plaintiff committed perjury and made up her statements about him 
for money. For example, on March 2, 2019: My "accusers are 
and Sarah 
Ransomme [sic]. . . . I hereby accuse my false accusers of committing the felony of perjury and 
challenge them to sue me for defamation." 
23. 
Defendant now has what he claims to have been looking for.

jurisdictional limits of this Court.

FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS

30. 
Plaintiff became a victim of sex trafficking and repeated sexual abuse after being 
recruited by Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein when Plaintiff was under the age of 
eighteen. 
31. 
Between 2000 and 2002, Epstein sexually abused Plaintiff at numerous locations 
including his mansions in West Palm Beach, Florida, New Mexico, the Virgin Islands, and this 
District. Epstein also flew Plaintiff on his plane nationally and internationally numerous times 
when she was under the age of 18. Only portions of the flight logs of Epstein's private planes are 
yet known, and Epstein also flew Plaintiff frequently on commercial airlines to meet him and 
others. However, the chart below, which shows Plaintiff's flights on Epstein's private plane from 
the limited logs that are available, illustrates the international scope of Epstein's sex trafficking.

33. 
After years of abuse, Epstein sent Plaintiff to Thailand in September 2002. One of 
Plaintiff's assignments from Epstein was to bring a young girl back to Epstein in the United 
States. Fearing for her life, and not wanting to subject another young girl to the abuse she was 
forced to endure, Plaintiff fled from Thailand to Australia to escape from Epstein. 
B. 
Defendant's Role with Epstein and Abuse of Plaintiff 
34. 
Defendant has been "a close friend of Mr. Epstein" for many years. In 2003, 
Defendant said "I'm on my 20th book... The only person outside of my immediate family that I 
send drafts to is Jeffrey." Vicky Ward, The Talented Mr. Epstein, VANITY FAIR (Jun. 27, 2003), 
https://bit.ly/2S9MzQU. Defendant also described Epstein as his friend. "I would be as interested 
in him [Epstein] as a friend if we had hamburgers on the boardwalk in Coney Island and talked 
about his ideas." Ray Gustini, Vanity Fair Reminds Us When Jef•ey Epstein Wasn't a Creep, 
THE ATLANTIC (June 21, 2011), https://bit.ly/38ZwHGK. Defendant frequently traveled with 
Epstein, including on Epstein's private plane. In addition, Epstein's employees have confirmed 
that Defendant visited Epstein's Palm Beach and New York City mansions often, would stay 
overnight, and was present when the victims of Epstein's sex trafficking were there. Defendant 
also visited Epstein's other homes. 
35. 
In addition to their close friendship, Defendant represented Epstein as his lawyer. 
On or about December 2, 2018, Defendant stated that he was still Epstein's lawyer. 
36. 
During the time period that Plaintiff was being trafficked by Epstein, she was 
forced to have sex with Defendant. Plaintiff was forced to engage in sexual acts with Defendant 
in various locations. 
37. 
On one such occasion, in late 2000 or early 2001, Defendant sexually assaulted 
Plaintiff at Epstein's mansion located at 9 East 70 Street, New York, New York 10021.

38. 
At the time of the incident, Plaintiff was under the age of 18. Epstein had taken 
her from her home, family, and friends in Palm Beach, Florida, and flown her to New York, New 
York, where he repeatedly sexually abused her. In the weeks immediately prior to the incident, 
Defendant had met Plaintiff in circumstances that would have put a reasonable person on notice 
that she was being sexually trafficked. 
39. 
Defendant entered Epstein's bedroom immediately after one incident of abuse by 
Epstein, while Plaintiff was alone and unclothed. Without obtaining her consent to the contact. 
he proceeded to engage in sexual intercourse with her. 
40. 
As Defendant knew, Plaintiff did not consent to the sexual intercourse but rather 
was under the coercive influence of Epstein and/or his co-conspirators. 
C. 
The Arrest and Prosecution of Epstein 
41. 
Epstein ultimately pleaded guilty to procuring a minor for prostitution and was a 
registered sex offender until his death on August 10, 2019. 
42. 
In September 2007, while Defendant was representing him, Epstein entered into a 
Non-Prosecution Agreement ("NPA") in which the United States Attorney for the Southern 
District of Florida agreed not to prosecute Epstein for numerous federal sex crimes committed in 
that District. 
43. 
In the NPA, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida 
additionally agreed that it would not institute any federal criminal charges against any potential 
co-conspirators of Epstein. 
44. 
Epstein flippantly referred to his sexual abuse of multiple minors, and the slap on 
the wrist he had received for it, in a 2011 interview with the New York Post: "Billionaire pervert 
Jeffrey Epstein is back in New York City—and making wisecracks about his just-ended jail stint

for having sex with an underage girl. `I am not a sexual predator, I'm an "offender,"' the 
financier told The Post yesterday. `It's the difference between a murderer and a person who 
steals a bagel,' said Epstein." See Amber Sutherland, Billionaire Jef•ey Epstein: I'm a Sex 
Wender, Not A Predator, NEW YORK POST (Feb. 25, 2011), https:/Ibit.ly/2s3ebwk. 
D. 
The Criminal Victims' Rights Act Proceeding 
45. 
Rather than confer with the victims about the NM. the U.S. Attorney's Office 
and Epstein, who was represented by Defendant at that time, agreed to a "confidentiality" 
provision in the Agreement barring its disclosure to anyone—including Epstein's victims. As a 
consequence, the victims were not told about the NPA. 
46. 
On July 7, 2008, a young woman identified as Jane Doe No. 1, one of Jeffrey 
Epstein's victims (other than Plaintiff), filed a petition to enforce her rights under the Crime 
Victims' Rights Act ("CVRA"), 18 U.S.C. § 3771, alleging that the Government failed to 
provide her the rights promised in the CVRA with regard to the plea arrangement with Epstein. 
47. 
On February 21, 2019, the Court found that the victims' rights had been violated 
and granted summary judgment in favor of the victims finding: "It was a material omission for 
the Government to suggest to the victims that they have patience relative to an investigation 
about which it had already bound itself not to prosecute." Order at 31. In its Order the Court 
acknowledged that: "Jeffrey Epstein sexually abused more than 30 minor girls." Id. at I. The 
Court also found: "Among other provisions, the NPA expanded immunity to any `potential 
coconspirator' of Epstein's: `In consideration of Epstein's agreement to plead guilty and to 
provide compensation in the manner described above, if Epstein successfully fulfills all of the 
terms and conditions of this agreement, the United States also agrees that it will not institute any 
criminal charges against any potential co-conspirators of Epstein, including but not limited to
