| Edwards, Bradley vs. Dershowitz |
| Case No.: CACE 15-000072 |
| Edwards and Cassells Response to Dershowitz's Motion to Determine Confidentiality of Court Records |
| Page 4 of 20 |
| the |
| materials |
| in |
| records |
| would |
| be |
| harmful |
| to |
| his professional |
| reputation. Carnegie recited subsection vi's restriction on release of materials involving a |
| privacy right, but noted that "statements Tedder alleged were defamatory and damaging were |
| allegations |
| Carnegie's |
| counterclaim |
| for |
| which |
| she seeks damages. |
| These matters were not peripheral to the lawsuit; they were inherent to it." Id. at 1312. Of |
| course, |
| exactly the same principle applies here: sexual abuse allegations filed by attorneys |
| Edwards and Cassell for their client Ms. Virginia Giuffre are not peripheral to this lawsuit - they |
| are inherent to it. |
| To see how "inherent" the sexual abuse allegations are to this lawsuit, the Court need |
| look no further than Dershowitz's counterclaim in this case. Count I of Dershowitz's |
| Counterclaim (styled as "False Allegations in the Joinder Motion") contends that Edwards and |
| Cassell should pay him damages because they "filed a pleading in the Federal Action titled ' Jane |
| Doe #3 and Jane Doe #4's Motion Pursuant to Rule 21 for Joinder in Action' ... " Dershowitz |
| Counterclaim at 1 14. Dershowitz's Counterclaim then goes on to quote at length from the |
| Joinder Motion. |
| His counterclaim contains, for example, this paragraph recounting the |
| allegations: |
| The Joinder Motion then goes on to allege - without any supporting evidence - as |
| follows: |
| One such powerful individual that Epstein forced then-minor Jane Doe #3 to |
| have sexual relations with |
| was former Harvard Law Professor Alan |
| Dershowitz, a close friend of Epstein's and well-known criminal defense |
| attorney. Epstein required Jane Doe #3 to have sexual relations with |
| Dershowitz on numerous occasions while she was a minor, not only in Florida |
| but also on private planes, in New York, New Mexico, and the U.S. Virgin |
