Dear..
You have asked me to provide documents supporting my presentation to the U.S.
attorney's office. They are attached, but let me give you a brief road map that you
can send on.
The basic facts cannot and will not be disputed:
1)
lawyers chose to publicly accuse me of heinous
crimes thou h the could easil have sealed the documents or redacted m
name.
3) At about the same time as I was being publicly accused, and those
accusa
widely publicized in the media,
and his
parme
secretly reached out to Leslie Wexner and told him
that
was accusing him of having sex with her on multiple occasions in
the same places as she claimed she had sex with m
nd
met
with Wexner's lawyers, John Zieger and his son at
New York office and
spoke by phone amperous occasions. I corroborated this information with
John Zieger, and
iimself acknowledged it to me on several occasions as
well. I don't think this will be denied.
4) Zieger told me that
and
also told Zieger that Wexner had
asked
to wear lingerie of the type sold by Victoria's Secret, a company
that Wexner owns. The evidence of a lingerie re uest can be found in
n o
n
case no.
hic is current y un er seal, as well as in her deposition
ieger also relayed this information to me
when we spoke by phone and I doubt he will deny it.
5) Zieger told me that he had told
that the accusation was not true and
that in any event, any possible suit would be barred by the statute of
limitations. Zieger asked me if I knew of any way arotigdothe statute of
limitations, and I said no, because
was at leasMrears old, and the
alle E.2,1 events had taken place fifteen years earlier. Zieger will not deny this.
6) =
and
fully realize that the statute of limitations bars any
lawsuit for these alleged

7)
later told me that they had decided not to sue Wexner because he was
"charitable." What we don't know is whether
"resolved" his case
against Wexner and whether he now believes or Wexner.

8) Corroboration for this entire scenario comes from

who called me out of the blue and told me that

that she /Want to naliabut that she "felt pressured" to do so by her

that her lawyers were seeking a billion
dollars—or half of Wexner's net worth. I have included the transcript of my

individuals than Wexner? If not, why not?
2) Did

concluded that Wexner was not guilty, that would mean that he also
concluded that his client had made up the entire detailed account of her
alleged encounters with Wexner. If so, how could he continue to represent
her and rely on her credibility in bringing the suit against Maxwell?
3) Did Wexner offer to give anything of value in exchange for IM not
pursuing the matter any further?
4) Zieger told me that he was considering bringing the matter to the U.S.
Attorney's office in Columbus, Ohio. Did he ever do so? If not, why not? Zieger
will probably not be affirmatively cooperative, because his client wants to
keep the entire matter secret, but I do not believe he will lie or refuse to
answers questions about non-privileged matters. His son was a witness to all
of our conversations. He always made it a point to get his son on the call
before he spoke to me (all of our conversations were by phone).

TAPE A
ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ: Now turning on a tape recorder and I'm recording with uh your
permission. So please repeat what you told me previously.
Okay, um that
never wanted to go after you um but she felt pressure um
by her lawyers to and that she had never ... I've never heard her mention you as when we were
kids or you know until very recently after everything has happened in the media but I've never
heard her mention you before.
ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ: Okay thank you and Pm now turning off the tape recorder. Thank
you so much.
TAPE B
ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ: (inaudible) record and where you repeat what you basically have
said to me before about the uh man in Columbus and um and what he urn and how they intended
to get the amount of money they intended to get from them. That's crucial. So can you give me
that for just like just 30 seconds?
: Okay, I mean she never told me his name. I know it from you saying it.
ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ: We know his name of course.
: Okay ...
ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ: Tell me how she described him to you.
: She just said that he owned Victoria Secret and Limited Too, and that he had lots
and lots of money. You know, was a billionaire.
ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ: Great. And what did they want to do?
: They wanted to sue him and for at least half his money and use it for the charities
that they're trying to start.
ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ: And what would the lawsuit be based on?
Oh I guess the ... she didn't say exactly, just being affiliated with Epstein the
alleged you know and partaking you know in the girls that he would provide them or provide
him.
ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ: Yeah. And did they think they would have to bring the lawsuit or
would they just be able to threaten the lawsuit and he would pay the money?
AD-006931
EFTA01682118
She made it sound like to me that they were already talking to him and they were,
they had already you know in the process of suing him.
ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ: Aha. And was he going to then you think settle it or was he
actually going to litigate it ... what did it sound like?
. She didn't really say but she made it sound like she was pretty positive about it and
then I didn't hear about it for like months and then you know the last time she talked about the
charity, it wasn't about him anymore, it was about just you know raising money going to like
you know celebrity charity events to get money or I remember her you know showing she was
going to do a bunch of television interviews um to raise the ... and use that money that they were
paying her for the interviews to help get it started.
ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ: Right but that would be ...
: And then the lawyers contributed their own money into it probably like, I don't
know, like $80,000 or something like that.
ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ: They lawyers contributed $80,000 to what, to the fund?
: The charity yeah, to get it started for her.
ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ: And were the lawyers charging her or how did that work ... do you
know?
: Nope, I mean uh, she, to her, I think the result of her, or what do you call it, pro
bono, they weren't charging anything for their, ya know.
ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ: But did they expect to get something out of it if they sued this rich
guy in Columbus from Victoria Secret.
Really, it's, she didn't say it exactly but that's just kind of like, you know, looking
at it in retrospect, that's how it seemed, you know, it just seemed like it was, they saw an
opportunity to make a lot of money.
ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ: And did she mention, she didn't mention who the lawyers are or
where they were from did she?
No. I just have that paperwork that was sent to me by ... from them.
ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ: Right. Sure. But do you know who sent it to you?
Um, she sent, I mean, no, I don't know exactly, she sent it to me ... it was
forwarded from her email to my email.

AD-006932
EFTA01682119
ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ: Right. And my understanding is that she was going to try to get
the uh ABC to uh give her some credibility so that that would increase the leverage on being able
to get a settlement or a lawsuit?
Yeah, I mean....
ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ: Yeah, alright, went appreciate that and again just repeat you gave
me permission to record this and urn would you just say yes so?
Okay, yes.
ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ: I appreciate that. Thank you. If you can think of anything else,
just please, please let me know because um this is very, very important.
TAPE C:
ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ: I'm recording now with your permission so just tell me the story
as as simply as you can.
: Okay about the interaction that I had with her where she told me about what was
going to happen when it came to starting this charity?
ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ: Right.
: ... is that what you're asking?
ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ: Yeah, yeah.
Okay. Um you want me to talk now?
ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ: Yeah, sure.
Ok alright, earlier we were together on Clematis we had dinner at Dempsey's and
she just kind of told me about how she was going to sue the man who owned Limited Too and
Victoria Secret for lots of money and they were going to be able to take that money and start this
charity to help you know women that had been trafficked and that you know there were other big
names that she was going to be able to um also um refer to what happened or what she said had
happened when she was younger. Uh I don't know exactly what else. She didn't really mention
names just one, just the one that I don't remember his, the guy who owns, you know, Victoria
Secret and all that and uh she also said to me that she that when it came to Alan Dershowitz that
she did feel pressure to go after you, after him ...um her, you know to, she felt pressure to do it,
she didn't want to go after you specifically, that she felt pressured by her lawyers to do that.
ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ: Alright, well thank you very much I really appreciate it. You
know, we were recording this with your permission. I'm going to turn off the recording now.

Alan Dershowitz Memos re. Meetings/ Phone Conversations with
May 19: Memo Dictated to Maura Kelly/ Sarah Neely
Memorandum of meeting with
Stone at 8:45 to 9:40AM at Sherry
Netherland Hotel on May 19, 2015
Less than 5 minutes ago I completed nearly an hour long meetin with the above and I
am recording my contemporary recollection of what was sai
ld me that he was
very much upset at the fact that my name w included in the
eral pleading. He said it
was wrong and a self-inflicted wound by
and her lawyers to name names,
including mine. He said that had he been ask
in advance he would have strongly
pi
opposed the inclusion of names. He said he was now convinced that
was
mistaken in naming me as someone with whom she had sex. He said at it was his
obligation to try to persuade her to acknowledge that I could not have been among the
people with whom she had sex. He said that if he failed to persuade her of that, he would
leave her representation to Edwards and Scarolo and no longer represent her.
He said that although he is always reluctant to drop a client, especially in a pro bono case,
he would feel comfortable doing that in this case because she is adequately represented
by her two other lawyers. He told me that he would have never taken this case if he knew
illid
that she would name me and t
grets having taken the case. He said that it would
be a win-win both for me, for
and for "truth and justice" were she to now
acknowledge that she made a mistake in including me. He said he is convinced that I did
not and could not have had sex with her.
He also told me that
told him she had sex with another prominent individual who
he did not name. He said he had spoken to the individual and was now convinced that he
too did not have sex with her. He thinks that as a young impressionable girl, she was
totally confused about who it was she was having sex with. He persuaded her not to
publicly identify this man, and so far she has accepted his advice. He said he wished he
had had the opportunity to talk to me as well in advance of my being named and that he is
confident that he could have persuaded her not to name me.
He proposed the
in wa of going forward. He would like me to bring my timeline
gaggiafiTh to him,
and to
in an effort to persuade
that I could not have been at the places where she claims to have had sex with
me. He hopes that when she sees my evidence she will acknowledge that she made a
mistake. He said it won't be easy for her to do that, but that it would be the best thing for
her and her case to acknowledge her mistake. Again he repeated that if she refuses to do
that, he could not ethically continue to represent her and would leave the matter to the
other two lawyers. I gave him my schedule of available dates over the next month.
EFTA01682121
He agreed to try to put off the hearing that is scheduled for this Fria' Broward
County court and to try to arrange a meeting with him,
and
sometime
between May 29 and June 2.
The meeting was entirely amicable and I came away convinced thallifirmly believed
that I have been falsely accused and wanted to make it right by getting me out of the case
and by having her withdraw her false accusation. I said that if he did so, I would be
happy to apologize to the lawyers for my statements, delivered in anger, after I learned
about the false accusation. I have completed dictating this memo at 9:51AM and it
based on my contemporaneous best recollection of what transpired at the meeting.
June 1: Memo Dictated to Maura Kelly
Meeting with
on June 1 between 10 am and I pm.
I have just left a meeting with
which ended with a private conversation in
which he said "the lawyers who pu your name in the federal pleading, not only did a
stupid think that hurt their clients, they also did the wrong thing. They never should have
accused you of so heinous a crime without checking and double checking, the way I did
with the person I called."
At the meeting i

firm were present.
aid his goal was to persuade
that she was mistaken in identifying me as a person with whom she had sex. He
said he thinks that she actually believes that, but she is mistaken. I challenged his view
that she actually believes she had sex with me, pointing to the fact that she has also said
that she had dinner with Bill Clinton and Al GgstaCtis wife on the island.
responded by saying "I have never challenged
with regard to her statements
about Al andTipper Gore and I am not vouching for her general credibility, but I think
she has come to believe the story about you.
reviewed our documents, focussing on several months during two years. He asked
Nick numerous questions and requested that he be shown the original records, especially
cell phone records. He said that the records were very persuasive, very complete and
very compelling. I told him that we could provide even more documentation, and that
what he had seen was merely a work in progresiae said that the more complete the
records the better he would be able to persuade Mild her other lawyers that it was
impossible that I could be the person with whom she had six sexual encounters on the
island, New Mexico, the airplane and Epstein's home in Palm Beach and New York. He
seemed particularly shocked when I told him that
had sworn that she gave
Epstein oral sex while I stood next to him talking to him. He asked
to show him
the affidavit in which she made that claim and he seemed to be shocked by it.
said that the best course of conduct would be to put off all legal proceedings until
after the summer so as to give us time to come to a global resolution, and also to give me
time to supplement the current records with additional data. I agreed to that proposal and
EFTA01682122
he said that he would talk to Brad Edwards in an effort to get him to agree as well to put
everything off to give us time to resolve this.
The meeting was entirely amicable.
July 6: Short Quote from
as per notes of conversation via Skype
Statement by
to Alan Dershowitz
"The next step would be for me and
to meet withEand tell her the following:
'We know you believe that you had relations with Professor Dershowitz. However we
have now reviewed the documentary evidence and we are convinced that your belief is
wrong and we would like to explore with you how you could have come to that false
conclusion. You could have, at your age and under the circumstances, misidentified
somebody or perhaps had somebody intentionally misidentify him for you. One thing is
clear—your conclusion is simply wrong.'"
September 1: Memo to Legal Team
Edwards told him:Massed two lie detector tests before they filed
their papers She had sex with Ehud Barak on airplane She had sex with professor Marvin
Minsky and with leslie Wexner They have seen my calendars and believe there are holes
during which she could have had sex with me. They believe her.

called gore and Clinton about whether they were on the island and neither wanted to get
involved. They served Epstein for a depo on my case They have me on video stating
contradictory things so if she's a liar so am I. They will not settle because they're
convinced she's telling the truth and they will win. I'm just repeating what Epstein told
me. I don't k now how much is true but it sounds plausible. Please let me have your
reactions
September 3: Memo to Legal Team
I
hour long meeting with 'Wns
morning. He confirmed to me that
had taken and passed a lie etector test about me and another about Wexner. He
thinks she is mistaken about me, although he also thinks that she believes it. He thinks,
though he is not sure, that Edwards may be interested in a global resolution involving
payment by Epstein. I don't think that we should count on that. He is still trying to
convince her to say that she may have been mistaken about me, but he is not sure he will
be able to. He desperately wants to avoid her being deposed and thinks that once she is
deposed and locked in the matter will be more difficult to resolve. He suggested that my
lawyers work out a date with
for her deposition. He suggested that the
date be shortly after my sche u e
epos) ion and he suggested that we then jointly move
to delay all of the depositions while negotiations continue. The good news is that he will
not object to her deposition and is mi bued to have it scheduled. I think that we should
do that immediately so please call
and try to schedule her deposition as soon as
EFTA01682123
possible after mine. It would be great if she could be deposited in Dade or Palm Beach
country rather than Broward, but I think that will be difficult to achieve. Please try to call
immediately. After the holiday next week we should schedule a conference call of
the entire legal team to decide how to move forward in light of these developments.
Thank you all have a good holiday, cordially, Alan

who was representing

convinced that Ms.
accusations in this instance were unfounded, and decided not
to pursue any further action.
July 6
Memo regarding meetings with
On 6 July 2015, I met with
in Mr.
office at BSF in New York. Alan ca e m via s ype. The stated purpose of the
meetin was to provide
with enough information that he might convince his
client,
that she could not possibly have had sex with Alan as described
in her statements in the CVRA case. At the previous meeting, Mr.
described
himself as convinced that Alan could not possibly have had sex with her, but stated that
the more information we could provide him, the easier it would be for him to convince
that she was mistaken.
I walked Mr.
through the summary documents I had prepared describing Alan's
location for the years 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002. He repeatedly asked to see the phone
records, credit card transactions, and other evidence that I had used, especially for the
year 2000. Thereafter, he seemed generally convinced as to the accuracy of the summary
EFTA01682124
documents, and relied on them to note down Alan's location for the remaining three
years. He stated that 1999 probably wasn't relevant anyway.

asked me to send him a memo regarding Alan's trips to South Florida during the
re vant time period. With Alan's permission, and with the caveat that he not share the
content of the memo, I agreed to do so by the end of the week.
July 9: Letter to
Dear Mr.
As discussed in our meeting of Monday July 6'h, please find attached a memo outlining
Mr. Dershowitz's trips to Florida between August 1999 and September 2002. The
exhibits located at the end of the document contain various records to substantiate Mr.
Dershowitz's activities during those periods.
This is being sent to you as part of a process of negotiation
to a
resolution of the matter involving Mr. Dershowi
. It is based
on your assurance that you will not reveal to Ms.
specific dates and locations,
which might enable her to conform her account of events to Mr. Dershowitz's calendar.
Finally, you had mentioned that you wanted to send me a record of your notes from
Monday's meeting to make sure that there were no inconsistencies. Please feel free to do
so whenever is convenient.
Kind regards,
