Virginia Giuffre, who was trafficked as a teenager as part of the underage sex ring run by financier Jeffrey Epstein and his socialite gal pal and fellow groomer Ghislaine Maxell, accused law professor and former O.J. Simpson defense attorney Alan Dershowitz of sexually abusing her as a teen. On Tuesday, upon settling a defamation lawsuit against Dershowitz, she says she “may have made a mistake” in leveling the accusations against him in the first place, the New York Times reports.

 

In a joint statement disclosing the settlement, Giuffre said, “I have long believed that I was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein to Alan Dershowitz. However, I was very young at the time, it was a very stressful and traumatic environment, and Mr. Dershowitz has from the beginning consistently denied these allegations. I now recognize I may have made a mistake in identifying Mr. Dershowitz.”

 

The statement marks the end of litigation between Giuffre and Dershowitz—who had sued each other—as well as two other lawsuits relating to Giuffre’s accusation.

 

Giuffre had sued Dershowitz, who also successfully represented accused wife-killer Claus von Bülow, because she felt his statements in response to her underage abuse allegations—namely, that they are not true—were defamatory. Her lawyer said the settlement had been reached but did not comment on her statement. She first filed the defamation lawsuit in 2019.

 

“She has suffered much at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein, and I commend her work combating the evil of sex trafficking,” Dershowitz his own statement, the Times reports.

 

Dershowitz has always denied the allegations.
