Alan Dershowitz Insists Associates on Jeffrey Epstein’s List Shouldn’t Be Blamed: ‘None of Us Knew About His Private Life’

Former Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz defended the former associates of deceased serial sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on Tuesday and claimed, “None of us knew about his private life that he kept so secret.”

On the impending release of a list of Epstein’s associates, Dershowitz told NewsNation anchor Leland Vittert:

You could judge them for having shown bad judgement, but you can’t conclude that any accusations against them are true without hearing the evidence. The reason I wanted everything put out– and I don’t think the judge put everything out, I think she was selective in what she put out and that’s unfair. I want everything out, every document, every piece of paper, half-truths or lies, and I wanted them out for personal reasons because I know that they would prove what I’ve said from day one, that I did nothing wrong, and the woman who accused me later admitted that she may have misidentified me, confused me with someone else. So I wanted everything out right from the beginning because I have nothing to hide.

There are some people who may be ashamed of the fact that they hung out with Epstein but remember a lot of people hung out with Epstein before he was convicted. Presidents of Harvard, deans, Nobel quality scientists, he was very well thought of in the beginning.

“None of us knew about his private life that he kept so secret,” claimed Dershowitz, who was credited with getting Epstein a “sweetheart deal” in 2008 for child prostitution charges.

Asked about those on Epstein’s list who have fought to keep their identity under wraps, Dershowitz said:

I can understand why people would not want family members, wives– you know, any association with Jeffrey Epstein is very, very negative. Anybody who knew Epstein, whether you knew him before or after, people say, “Oh my God, you knew Epstein, you must have done something wrong.” That doesn’t necessarily follow. There are some people who may have done something wrong, but nobody should be believed–.

Dershowitz then abruptly launched into a rant against feminism and the MeToo movement.

“I think, you know, of the MeToo movement now. MeToo basically says believe anybody except if they’re a Jew and an Israeli,” he claimed. “The stories about the rapes that have been documented in Israel, the MeToo movement, ‘No, no, no, we’re not interested in that.’ Feminists, ‘We’re not interested in that.’ If it was a Jew who was raped, forget about it.”

He concluded:

There’s a lot of picking and choosing by radical feminists about who they’re gonna believe. It’s shocking that so many feminists have refused to condemn Hamas for raping and cutting off the breasts. I mean, you know, all of this makes Jeffrey Epstein– by comparison, my God. There’s so much hypocrisy on the hard left among feminists and maybe this will help expose that as well.

On Tuesday, during a report on Epstein’s associates, Hannity launched into a defense of Dershowitz, who he predicted “might be on the list.”

Dershowitz appeared several times on Epstein’s flight logs between 1998 and 2005, and admitted in 2015 to receiving a massage at Epstein’s house.

Dershowitz was also accused by Virginia Giuffre of being “a participant in sex trafficking,” before Giuffre walked back on the allegations and publicly declared that she may have mistaken Dershowitz for someone else.
