American Attorney, Alan Dershowitz has sued Netflix for $80 million over Jeffrey Epstein’s show.
Gatekeepers News reports that American Attorney, Professor Alan Dershowitz has sued Netflix for $80 million over his portrayal in the streaming service’s in sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s “Filthy Rich” series.
The lawsuit is filed at Miami federal court and it contends that Netflix intentionally misled one of the lawyers once representing Epstein, Dershowitz, regarding his appearance in the series.
The suit also claimed that he was defamed by falsely asserting that he had sex with one of Epstein’s many victims.
In the suit, the Professor of Harvard law said the accusations by Virginia Giuffre that they had sex are false and that Netflix knew it. Giuffre has been one of Epstein’s most vocal victims.
The lawsuit read in part:
“Giuffre’s accusations that she had sex with Professor Dershowitz are categorically false, and Professor Dershowitz has denied and disproved the accusations — including under oath subject to the penalties of perjury.”
Netflix Spokesperson in an emailed response said Dershowitz’s lawsuit “is without merit, and we will vigorously defend our partners and the series.”
“Filthy Rich” first became available on the streaming service in May 2020.
Epstein after Florida’s conviction served a relatively short jail sentence, which required him to register as a sex offender and settle any lawsuits from his victims.
He was later charged by New York federal prosecutors with sex trafficking and related charges involving his alleged abuse of dozens of teenage girls.
Gatekeepers News gathered that the American financier, died in August 2019 at a New York jail and his death was ruled a suicide.
