limitations. yes. 
Q. You refused to waive the statute of 
limitations with regard to sexual crimes, correct? 
A. I didn't refuse anything. I didn't feel I 
had any obligation to respond to you. And I did 
not. 
Q. So, you were asked to waive the statute of 
limitations with regard to your sexual crimes and 
you refused to respond? 
A. I was asked by you, utterly 
inappropriately, and what I had said -- and if you 
check what I said, I said if any reasonable 
prosecutor were to investigate the case and find 
that there was any basis, I would then waive the 
statute of limitations. I didn't waive the statute 
of limitations because you, a lawyer, for two 
unprofessional, unethical lawyers asked me to do so, 
what obligation do I have to respond to you? 
Q. Well, you have no obligation to respond to 
me at all, Mr. Dershowitz, except now while sou are 
under oath and I am asking you questions and I would 
greatly appreciate you responding to the questions 
that I ask. 
MR. SCOTT: I think lies trying. 
235 
1 
Q. And by dropping the dint on the media when 
2 
they Bled it, you Intended to convey the message 
3 
that Paul Cassel: and Bradley Edwards intentionally 
4 
generated the focus of press attention on that 
filing; is that correct? 
6 
A. Absolutely. Absolutely without any doubt. 
7 
Why else would they have brought Prince Andrew into 
this filing? Prince Andrew had no connection to the 
9 
NPA. no relevance at all. But they knew that by 
10 
including Prince Andrew. this would ding my name 
11 
into every single newspaper and media outlet in the 
12 
world. 
13 
It Was outrageous for them to do this. 
14 
Particularly because they did so little, if any, 
15 
investigation, which will, of course, be determined 
16 
when they're deposed. And -- and --
17 
Q. Well, you've already made that 
18 
determination, right? 
19 
MR. SCOTT: Wait. 
20 
A. I'm convinced that -- that they did little 
21 
or no investigation. They never even bothered to 
22 
call me. That would have been --
23 
BY MR. SCAROLA: 
24 
Q. We'll get to that in just a moment. 
25 
A. -- a simple basic thing. 
234 
1 
BY MR. SCAROLA: 
2 
Q. You made the further statement in that 
3 
sane Interview, "They dropped the dime on the media 
4 
when they filed it," referring to the CVRA 
5 
pleading --
6 
A. Right. 
7 
Q. —in which were you named? 
8 
A. Right. 
9 
Q. What is the basis for that statement? 
10 
A. The basis for that statement was that the 
n 
filing was done virtually on the eve of New Year's 
12 
on a day that the press was completelydead. And 
13 
nonetheless. immediately upon the filing, I got a 
14 
bamge of phone calls that led me to conclude and 
15 
led many, many, many other lawyers who called me to 
16 
conclude that obviously somebody tipped somebody off 
17 
that they didn't just happen to file -- to find in 
18 
the middle of an obscure pleading which didn't even 
19 
have a heading that indicated that I was involved or 
20 
anybody else was involved. 
21 
So, I'm certain that a dime was dropped to 
22 
somebody saying, by the way, you want an interesting 
23 
story. there's 
Prince Andrew of Great Britain and 
24 
Alan Dershowitz have been accused of sexual 
25 
misconduct. I still believe that 
236 
Q. But right now — right now could you 
2 
please tell us was there anything other thau your 
3 
inferring that they must have contacted the media to 
4 
support your conclusion that either Paul Cassell or 
5 
Brad Edwards did, in fact, alert the media at the 
6 
time of the filing of this pleading? 
7 
A. Yes. 
8 
Q. What else besides your inference? 
9 
A. When the BBC cant to see me, the BBC 
10 
reporter showed me an e-mail from Paul Cassell, 
11 
which urged him, the BBC reporter. to ask me a 
12 
series of questions. So I knew that Paul Cassell 
13 
was in touch with the British media and was trying 
14 
to stimulate and initiate anbarrassing questions to 
15 
be asked of me. 
16 
And when I spoke to a number of reporters, 
17 
they certainly -- obviously reporters have 
18 
privilege, but they said things that certainly led 
19 
me to infer that they had beat in close touch with 
20 
your clients or representatives on their behalf. 
21 
Q. What was the date of the e-mail —
22 
A. 'don't know. 
23 
Q. — that you referenced in that response? 
24 
Q
A. Imrdoeinli.1 know.

A. Yeah, that name is not familiar to me but. 
16

16 
of count, I remember doing an interview, yes. 
17 
A. It came —

BY MR. SCAROLA:

Q. — it calls for before or alter. 
18 
Q. All right, sir. And during the course of

19
that interview, you said: "There are flight 
20 
came, for example, before my appearance on the BBC 
20 
manifests. They will prove I was never on any 
21
because they showed me the e-mail before they 
21 
private airplane with any young woman." Correct? 
22

22 
A. Yes. 
23

23 
Q. Go to page 17, if you would. 
24 
Q. All right. So It Is your assertion that 
24 
A. Uh-huh. 
25 
this single egnall that you have made reference to

where Paul Cassell says "asks Dershowitz these

and repetitious.

THE WITNESS: What's Number 6 then? Tin 
3 
confused. there were two. 
4 
BY MR. SCAROLA: 
5 
Q. Have you ever seen Exhibit Number 6 
6 
before? 
7 
A. Exhibit Number 6. I don't believe so. It 
8 
doesn't look familiar to me. 
9 
Q. No? 
10 
A. It does not look familiar to me. 
11 
Q. Did you bother at any time to review 
12 
discovery that was produced by Bradley Edwards and 
13 
Paul Cassell responding to requests for information 
14 
that supported the allegations 
15 
A I'm not clear what you're as mg. 
16 
Q. I want to know —
17 
A. In which case? In which case am we 
18 
talking? 
19 
Q. This case. This case. 
20 
A. Right. 
21 
Q. Did you ever bother to review the 
22 
discovery produced in this case responding to 
23 
requests for all of the information that supported 
24 
their belief in the truthfulness of Virginia 
25 
Roberts' allegations against you? 
243 
1 
exonerated by any flight logs that were innocent —
2 
that were complete and accurate, of course. 
3 
Q. So you made the public statements 
4 
repeatedly that the flight logs would exonerate you 
5 
without having examined the flight logs to see 
6 
whether they were accurate or not; is that correct? 
7 
A. Well, I knew — I knew that —
8 
Q. Did you say those things without having 
9 
examined the flight logs? 
10 
A. I said those things having looked at some 
11 
of the flight logs al some point in time. But I 
12 
knew for sure that the flight logs would exonerate 
13 
me because 
new was 
v r on Jeffrey Epstein's 
14 
plane wit 
any other young 
15 
underage sir s. 
. 
-new 
at to an absolute 
16 
certainty. And I was prepared to say it. fm 
17 
prepared to say it again under oath here. 
18 
And if your clients had simply cal led me 
19 
and told me they were planning to do this, we 
20 
wouldn't be here today because I could have shown 
21 
them in one clay that it was impossible for me to 
22 
have had sex with their client on the island, in the 
23 
ranch, on the airplanes, in Palm Beach. And they 
24 
would have, if they were decent and ethical lawyers. 
25 
not filed that. 
242 
1 
A. I don't know if I reviewed everything. 
2 
But I certainly, in preparation for this deposition. 
3 
reviewed some of the documents that were produced in 
4 
discovery. But I can't say I reviewed them all. 
5 
Q. Well, having placed such substantial 
6 
emphasis during the course of your public 
7 
appearances on the flight logs exonerating you, it 
would certainly seem logical that one of the things 
9 
that you would want to review would be all of the 
10 
available — all of the available flight logs, 
11 
right? 
12 
A. No. 
13 
MR. SCOTT: Objection. argumentative. 
14 
A. No. 
15 
BY MR. SCAROLA: 
16 
Q. No? 
17 
A. No. Look, l knew I was never on a plane 
18 
with any underage females under any circumstances. 
19 
I knew that. I knew that as certainly as I'M 
20 
sitting here today. So, I knew absolutely that if 
21 
the manifests and the flight logs were actuate. 
22 
they would. of course, exonerate me because I am 
23 
totally, completely, unequivocally innocent of any 
24 
of these charges. 
25 
So of course l knew that l would be

21 
22 
23 
24 
25 
244 
And there arc cases, legal ethics cases 
that say that lawyers arc obliged to make that phone 
call. lawyers are obliged to cheek if it's easy to 
check. lawyers are obliged to. particularly when 
the/re making extremely heinous charges against a 
fellow lawyer, do rely, very, detailed 
investigations. And they didn't do that in this 
case. 
Q. 1 will represent to you that I have handed 
you all of the available flight logs produced in the 
discovery of this case. Could you show me, please, 
which of these flight logs exonerates you? 
A. The absence of evidence is evidence of 
absence. None of the Ili t 
have me on an 
airplane wit 
None of the flight 
logs haven 
n the relevant 
period of time when 
iris that she 
had sex with me in the presence of another woman. 
So. the flight logs clearly exonerate me. 
There's absolutely no doubt about that. 
Q. Well, the flight logs, in fact, confirm 
that you were in the same places at the same time as 
~on•t 
they? 
A. No, they do not 
Q. Do you — do you deny that they confirm

that you were in the same place at the same time — 
A. Firs 
Q. — a 
MR. 
• question. 
THE 
MR. SCOTT: Then you answer the question. 
And Mr. Search will by to. you know, keep the 
emotion down, rm sure, so we can get through 
this with less acrimony between everybody here 
A. Your client has adamantly refused, as well 
as the lawyer --
BY MR SCAROLA: 
Q. No, sir, that's nonresponsive to my 
question. 
MR. SCOTT: Wait a minute. 
BY MR. SCAROLA: 
Q. My question is: Do you deny that the 
flight logs corroborate 
place at the same time 
1111/Ill
A. So the question i 
and, therefore, I must answer in this way. Your 
client --
Q. How to build a watch? 
MR. SCOTT: Wait a minute, you're cutting 
him off. He's been trying to answer the 
247 
1 
ious to sec any tinrframes when 
2 
claims she was with me on the 
3 
is 
,cams 
was with mc on -- at the ranch, 
4 
claims she was with me on the airplanes, claims she 
5 
was with me in Palm Beach. And they will all 
6 
conclusively --
7 
Q. You forgot -
8 
A. 
9 
10 
also? 
11 
A. No, I did not mean New York --
12 
Q. Oh. okay. 
13 
A. -- because New York is ray different I 
14 
was, in fact, in New York for large periods of time. 
15 
I was not in fact. on the island during the 
16 
relevant timcframc. I was not in the airplane in 
17 
the relevant timeliame. I was not in Jeffrey 
18 
Epstein's Palm Beach home in the relevant timeframe. 
19 
And I was once in the ranch but under circumstances 
20 
where it would have been absolutely impossible for 
21 
me to have had any contact with her. 
22 
So if you will give me the timeframe, I 
23 
will be happy to answer your question. But without 
24 
timcframcs, that question is an absolutely 
25 
inappropriate question. And the answer to it is no. 
— New York. Didn't you mean New York 
246 
1 
question. 
2 
A. Yotr client has adamantly refused, an:liter 
3 
lawyers and your clients have refused to give me any 
4 
timcframes, any timcfratnes when your client claims 
5 
that she had improper -- falsely claims, 
6 
panniously claims that she had improper sexual 
7 
encounters with me. 
8 
So how can you possibly ask mc a question 
9 
that includes the w rd "tenet-Tames" when your client 
10 
has refused 
whe 
s refused to 
11 
give any time fram 
ossiblc that 
12 
the flight logs show me being in the same tint and 
13 
were place with her when she has refused to describe 
14 
any of the time
 that she claims to have been in 
15 
those places? 
16 
So the answer to the question is 
17 
categorically no, sir. 
18 
BY MR. SCAROLA: 
19 
Q. What Is the question that you are 
20 
answering no to? 
21 
A. Whether or not the tuneframe shows that I 
22 
could have been in the same place at the same lime 
23 
as your client. Absolutely not. Because we don't 
24 
know what times your client 
now, if you know 
25 
that, you should have produced them in discovery and

Q. Well, Mr. Dershowltz, it might be 
inappropriate if you had not repeatedly made the 
public statements that the flight logs exonerate 
you. 
A. They do. 
Q. So what I am attempting to find out is the 
basis upon which you can contend that the flight 
logs exonerate you if you are now telling us you 
don't even know when it is that you are alleged to 
me place at the same time as 
Q. So how — how can you make both those 
statements? 
ausc I know the timeframe 
the 
, knew Jeffrey Epstein. And 
during that tinyframe. I can conclusively prove that 
I was never on Jeffrey Epstein's island where she 
claimed to have sex with nt. That the only time I 
was at the ranch was with my wife, with the Ask 
family, with my daughter, the house was under 
construction, we just simply stayed outside the 
house and looked around. That the manifests show I 
was never on Jeffrey Epstein's plane during that 
period of tin*. And the manifests show that I never

So I have a timeframe not that was

on Jeffrey Epstein's airplane during the relevant

Q. I want to make sure that I understood what

you just said. "I never flew down to Palm Beach

house in Palm Beach during that relevant period of

that. 
13 
time. 
13 
Q. There are two separate collections of 
14 
Q. Okay. So you want to withdraw the 
14 
documents purporting to be flight manifests for 
15 
statement that you never flew down to Palm Beach — 
15 
Jeffrey Epstein's plane. When you made the public 
16 
MR. SCOTT: Objection. 
16
statements that you mode regarding the flight logs 
17 
BY MR. SCAROLA: 
17
or manifests exonerating you, were you referring to

Q. — during that relevant period of time — 
18
Exhibit Number 6 or Exhibit Number 7?

so let's go ahead. 
3 
The narrower litnefraine, remember, is 
3 
MR. SCAROLA: It's of any help. I can

agree that you don't agree to any of my

Q. Okay. I want to be sure now. You're not

13 
Just saying that you were only at Jeffrey Epstein's

MR. SCAROLA: I agree.

19 
vigorously •• and you're a great lawyer --
20 
I could have been there. But I have no recollection

of having been there. It certainly —certainly I

MR. SCAROLA: Yes. sir.

BY MR. SCAROLA:

Q. In interviews on January 4 and January 5, 
5 
you claim to have completed the necessary work to 
6 
Identify documents exonerating you within an hour 
7 
after learning of the accusations that were made, 
8 
correct? 
9 
A. I don't remember having said that. But 
10 
within a minute, I had clear knowledge that every 
11 
document in the world would exonerate Inc because I 
12 
knew fort absolute certainty that every aspect of her 
13 
allegation was totally false. That's why I 
14 
challenged the other side to produce videos, to 
15 
produce photographs. I knew that there could be no 
16 
evidence inculpating me because I knew I was 
17 
innocent. So I knew that all of my records would 
18 
prove that. 
19 
Facts arc facts. And I just wasn't in an 
20 
contact or any sexual contact wit 
21 
and I knew with absolute certainty that the facts 
22 
would completely exonerate me. And if your clients 
23 
had just called me, at the courtesy of simply 
24 
calling me, I would have been able to point them to

review the transcript and 
and that's any 
witness is entitled to do that. So why don't 
we take a break, hen review transcript and 
well come back? We've been going an hour --
MR. SCAROLA: Because I haven't asked him 
a question about the transcript. 
MR. SCOTT: You've asked --
MR. SCAROLA: I'm asking him a question 
about his recollection. 
MR. SCOTT: Based upon what he said in the 
transcript 
MR. SCAROLA: No. fm asking him whether 
he has a recollection of having madc public 
statements that within an hour, he had gathered 
the documents that proved his innocence, 
exonerated him.

School. I would have been able to to alert them 
2 
to the Ashes. I would have been able to tell them 
3 
that I keep little black books which have all of my 
4 
travel information. Although they were in the 
5 
basement of Martha's Vineyard, I would have been 
6 
happy to go up and get them. 
7 
If they had just simply called me, I would 
8 
have been able to persuade them without any doubt 
9 
that these allegations were false. If they needed 
10 
any persuading because I believe. as I sit here 
11 
today, that they knew they were false at the time --
12 
certainly should have known, but I believe knew they 
13 
were false at the time that they leveled them. 
14 
Q. My question related to your gathering 
15 
documents that you claim exonerated you --
16 
A. That's right. 
17 
Q. — and your public statements were that 
18 
within an hour, you —
19 
A. Can you 
20 
Q. — had gathered the documents —
21 
MR. SCOTT: Listen to the question. 
22 
BY MR. SCAROLA: 
23 
Q. --you had gathered the documents that 
24 
exonerated you, correct? 
25 
MR. SCOTT: You can refer. 
264 
1 
BY MR. SCAROLA: 
2 
Q. Do you remember having made those 
3 
statements? 
4 
A. I do not, but it's true. I was able to 
5 
gather documents literally within an hour. I was 
6 
able to call Tom Ask. lie was able to access his 
7 
daughter's journal notes that I had taught his 
8 
daughter's class. I was able to find out where my 
9 
other documents were. 
10 
My wife made some phone calls immediately. 
11 
We called the Canyon Ranch. We called and 
12 
determined the dates of when I was in Florida. We 
13 
called the Porters. We very. My, very quickly 
14 
were able to gather information that conclusively 
15 
would prove that she was lying about me having had 
16 
SG( with me on the island, in the ranch, 
17 
particularly those two I was able to prove 
18 
conclusively. 
19 
And when a woman lies deliberatelyand 
20 
willfully about two instances where she in great 
21 
detail claims she had had sex, I think you can be 
22 
clear that you should discount any other 
any 
23 
other false allegations. 
24 
MR. SCOTT: We've been going for an hour. 
25 
Let's take a break for a few minutes. Then we

question, please? 
First of all. I move to strike the

unresponsive speech.

And now read back the last question. if 
10 
you would.

(Requested portion read back as follows:) 
12 
THE REPORTER: "Do you remember having 
13 
made those statements?" 
14 
Do you want me to read prior to that? 
15 
MR. SCAROLA: No, that's fine. That's the 
16 
question that I asked.

BY MR. SCAROLA: 
18

19 
Q. So, if anyone had represented that you 
20 
were going to be traveling from Boston to Florida 
21 
this past weekend, that would have been a 
22 
misrepresentation; is that correct? 
23

MR. SCOTT: Let's take — let's take a 
4 
break like I suggested and well come back and 
then you can ask your question and — okay? 
6 
MR SCAROLA: Well, while the question is 
7 
pending, I would like an answer to the question 
8 
before we break. 
9 
MR. SCOTT: Did you answer the question? 
10 
THE WITNESS: I thought I did 
11 
A. But what -- could you repeat the question? 
12 
try to answer it in a yes or no if l can. 
13 
BY MR. SCAROLA: 
14 
Q. Did you make the statement that within an 
15 
hour of learning of these allegations, you had 
16 
gathered documents that completely exonerated you? 
17 
A. I don't recall those specific words —
18 
Q. Thank you, sir. 
19 
A. -- but the bitch --
20 
MR. SCOTT: That's it, and I think he 
21 
indicated that before.

23 
BY MR. SCAROL A: 
23
24 
Q. Yes, sir. I want to know what information 
24 
25 
you had regarding what Bradley Edwards and Paul 
25 
271 
Cassell had done in the course of their 
invest' 
' 
' 
y of the accusations 
made 
;dust you? 
A. Well, list and oremost, the most 
important piece of information I had was my Finn and 
complete knowledge and memory that I had never had 
any sexual contact with 
odor 
any circumstances or a 
. So I 
knew --
Q. The question I'm asking, sir — 
A. 
this infatuation — 
Q. — focuses on what knowledge you had 
regarding what Bradky Edwards and Paul Cassell did 
In the course of their investigation of the 
credibility of the accusations against you made by 
A. That was the first and most important bil 
of information namely, that I couldn't have done it 
and didn't do it. So I knew for sure that they 
could not have conducted any kind of valid 
investigation. 
Second. I knew from — that they also Ind 
a later from Mr. Scuola that said that multipk 
witnesses lad placed me in the preserec of Jeffrey 
Epstein and underage girls and I knew (hat 
272 
Mr. Scarola's letter was a patent lie. And they had 
access to that letter and that information. 
I also knew they were relying on 
depositions of two house people of Jeffrey Epstein. 
And I've read these two depositions. And I'm sure I 
knew of other -- other information as well. 
I knew that they had stated -- I knew that 
they had slated publicly, or you had stated publicly 
on their bchalf as a witness, that you had stated 
publicly that you had tried to depose me on these --
on this subject. I knew that that was a blatant lie 
and unethical conduct because nobody ever tried to 
depose me on this subject. 
I had never been accused, nor did I have 
any knowledge that anybody had ever falselyaccused 
me of having any sexual encounters. And I had a 
great deal of information about the paucity or 
absence of any legitimate investigation. And I also 
knew that they hadn't called nc. they hadn't tried 
to call me, there was no record of an attempt to 
call me or c-nuil Inc. My e-mail is available on my 
website. My phone number is available on my 
website. 
The most basic thing they could have done, 
as courts have said. what you're accusing somebody

of outrageous, honible, inexcusable misconduct. at 
2 
least call the person and ask thcm if they can 
3 
dispose it before you file a -- a statement. Not 
4 
even asking for a hearing on it, not even basically 
5 
seeking to prove it. just --just putting it in a

pleading as if scrolling on a bathroom stall. 
7 
So, yes, I had -- I had a great basis for 
making that kind of statement and I repeat it here 
9 
today. And we will find out in depositions what 
10 
basis they actually had. And nn anxiously awaiting

A. Well, I think if you read the whole

A. First, a little background. Mr. Alessi

MR. SCOTT: Be careful about anything

involving --
7 
THE WITNESS: Okay.

one of the causes of his firing.

Q. So, he was -- he may have been angry al

about to say?

A. I'm saying I have -- I don't know what he 
23 
was thinking, but there is a basis for him believing

Whatever Mr. Josefsberg thinks has nothing to

Q. Do you remember what the question was? 
11 
A. Yes. Yes. 
12 
Q. What is the question? 
13 
A. The question is — no, why don't you 
14 
repeat the question. 
15 
Q. Yes, sir. 
16 
A. So --
17 
Q. You know that Bob Josefsberg would not 
18 
advance allegations on behalf of a client that that 
19 
client had been lent out by Jeffrey Epstein to 
20 
satisfy the sexual desires of friends of Jeffrey 
21 
Epstein, including academicians, unless Bob 
22 
Josefsberg believed those allegations to be true, 
23 
right? 
24 
A. I believe that — I know that Bob 
25 
Josefsberg would never maintain a friendship with 
287 
the people who the FBI had put on the — the list. 
2 
I just don't know what his responsibility was. 
3 
I can say with confidence that he would 
4 
only ad ethically and would. A. not represent 
5 
not make any false statements the way your clients 
6 
made than, and that I wish your clients had the 
7 
ethics of Bob Josefsberg 
8 
Q. You then agree that if Bob Josefsbcrg 
9 
advanced the claims that I have described in a 
10 
complaint on behalf of a client, he would not have 
11 
done so unless he believed those allegations to be 
12 
true, having conducted a fair and reasonable 
13 
Investigation, correct? 
14 
MR. SCOTT: Objection, asked and answered 
15 
several limes. 
16 
A. I don't know the answer to that question 
17 
because I don't know the context in which he made 
18 
these arguments. All I do know is that he never 
19 
would maintain a friendship with me if he believed 
20 
in any way that I was cne of the people that she had 
21 
accused. 
22 
BY MR. SCAROLA: 
23 
Q. Did Alfredo Rodriguez, another one of your 
24 
friend's staff persons, have a motive to lie against 
25 
you? 
286 
1 
me, as he has, if he believed that 1 was one of 
2 
those academicians. Bob Josefsberg knows tint I was 
3 
not one of those academicians, and the inference of 
4 
your question is beneath contempt. sir. 
5 
Q. Could we try to answer the question now? 
6 
A. The answer is that Bob Josefsberg would 
7 
never maintain a friendship with me if he believed 
that there was any possibility that I was among the 
9 
academicians who she was accusing of sexual 
10 
misconduct. I do not believe that she ever accused 
11 
me of sexual misconduct to Bob Josefsberg. to the 
12 
FBI, to the U.S. attorney. or even, sir, to you and 
13 
Bradley Edwanls, as she says in 2000,1 think, 'I I. 
14 
1 think she made up this stay on the eve of the 
15 
filing in 2014. 
16 
Q. You do agree that Bob Josefsberg would not 
17 
have advanced the claims that he advanced if he did 
18 
not have confidence that they were true, correct? 
19 
A. I have no idea what he believed or knew at 
20 
the time. I would say this: I know Bob Josefsberg 
21 
is an extraordinarily ethical lawyer. I don't know 
22 
what his responsibilities were in the case. I don't 
23 
know whether his responsibilities were to make those 
24 
kinds of judgments or whether his responsibility was 
25 
simply to make sure that money was paid to each of 
288 
1 
A. Alberto Rodriguez --
2 
Q. No, sir, Alfredo Rodriguez. 
3 
A. Alfredo Rodriguez, I never knew him by 
4 
name. Ile was, of course, there out — well outside 
S 
of the limeframe of the alleged events in this case. 
6 
And so anything that he would be able to testify to 
7 
would bear no relationship whatsoever to the -- the 
8 
allegations here. 
9 
Ile was criminally prosecuted, to my 
10 
memory. for having stolen material and fumed it 
11 
over to Bradley Edwards is my recollection. And as 
12 
the result of that clearly had a motive to lie. And 
13 
the same with Mr. Alessi, clearly would have a basis 
14 
for believing that I may have played a role as 
15 
Jeffrey Epstein's lawyer in seeking to do harm to 
16 
him. 
17 
But again, there's nothing in 
18 
Mr. Rodriguez's testimony which is in any way 
19 
inculpatory of rue. I think he has me sitting and --
20 
and reading a book and drinking a glass of wine. 
21 
Q. In the presence of young women? 
22 
A. No. 
23 
Q. No? 
24 
A. I don't —

A. 
believe that. 
2 
Q. — recall the following testimony — 
3 
A. It wouldn't be true if he said it. 
4 
Q. Yes. sir. Well, do you recall the 
following testimony having been given by Mr. Alfredo 
6 
Rodriguez In a deposition that was taken on 
7 
August 7,2009? 
"Question: Mr. Rodriguez, you staled last 
9 
lime that there were guests at the house, 
10 
frequent guests from Harvard. Do you remember 
11 
that testimony? 
12 
"Answer: Yes, ma'am. 
13 
"Question: Was there a lawyer from 
14 
Ilartiard named Alan Dershowitz? 
15 
"Answer: Yes, ma'am 
16 
"Question: And arc you familiar with the 
17 
fact that he's a famous author and famous 
18 
lawyer? 
19 
"Answer: Yes, ma'am. 
20 
"Question: How often during the six 
21 
months or so that you were there was 
22 
Mr. Dershowitz there? 
23 
"Answer: Two or three times. 
24 
"Question: And did you have any knowledge 
25 
of why he was visiting there? 
291 
1 
that testimony? 
2 
A. Yes. 
3 
MR. SCOTT: Objection. This is totally 
4 
improper cross examination of a witness by 
trying to use a deposition. The only purpose 
6 
of doing this is to interject this into the 
7 
record. which has no relevance and would not be 
admissible at trial. And in any ease, he never 
9 
actually has my client doing any of the thing, 
10 
that you've accused him of. 
11 
Go about, let's go ahead and do it. 
12 
Answer the question. Answer the question. 
13 
MR. SCAROLA: He did. 
14 
A. Yes, I iumura....r that. 
15 
MR. SCAROLA: He said yes. 
16 
A. Yes. I remember that. yes. 
17 
BY MR. SCAROLA: 
18 
Q. And do you know why it was that back in 
19 
19 - excuse me, back in 2009, August of 2009, four 
20 
and a half years before you allege that this story 
21 
about you was being made up out of whole cloth, that 
22 
lawyers representing Jeffrey Epstein's victims, 
23 
Including Katherine Ezell, E-Z-E-L-L from Bob 
24 
Josefsberg's office, who had filed the complaint 
25 
alleging that you had — excuse me, that Virginia 
290 
1 
"Answer: No, ma'am. 
2 
"Question: You don't know whether or not 
3 
he was a lawyer acting as a lawyer or whether 
4 
he was there as a friend? 
5 
"Answer: I believe as a friend. 
6 
"Question: Were there also young ladies 
7 
in the house at the time he w•as there? 
8 
"Answer: Yes, ma'am. 
9 
"Questio • 
• 
10 
for instance 
11 
"Answer: 
es, ma am. 
12 
"Question: Were there other young ladies 
13 
there when Mr. Dershowitz was there? 
14 
"Answer: Yes, ma'am. 
15 
"Question: Do you have any idea who those 
16 
young women were? 
17 
"Answer: No, ma'am. 
18 
"Question: Were there any of these — 
19 
excuse me. Were any of these young women that 
20 
you have said came to give massages? 
21 
"Answer: Yes, ma'am." 
22 
Do you recall that testimony having been 
23 
given --
24 
A. Yes. 
25 
Q. — and those answers having been given to 
292. 
1 
Roberts had been lent out for sexual purposes to 
2 
academicians, were asking specific questions about 
3 
you? Do you know why It was In 2009 they were doing 
4 
that? 
5 
A. I have no idea that it happened. And I 
6 
imagine that they had a list of every academic that 
7 
was in the house. Probably included .-
8 
MR. SCOTT: I want to object to this whole 
9 
procedure because you're taking pieces out of 
10 
the record and not reading other pieces that 
11 
totallyabsolve my client. For example, 
12 
there's testimony by him that says --
13 
MR. SCAROLA: Is this an objection? 
14 
MR. SCOTT: Yes, it's a statement into the 
15 
reeved just Eke you're putting into the 
16 
record. There's — I want to show this to my 
17 
client and refresh his memory as to some other 
18 
testimony by this witness --
19 
MR. SCAROLA: There's no question pending 
20 
as to what you can -- as to what you can 
21 
refresh your client's memory. What you arc 
22 
doing is coaching him. 
23 
MR. SCOTT: No, I'm not. 
24 
MR. SCAROLA: Improperly. 
25 
MR. SCOTT: And you are improperly reading

excerpts out of a deposition to try to imply 
1 
Do you remember that testimony having been 
2 
something when there's other parts that totally 
2 
given? 
3 
arc inconsistent with that. And if you're 
3 
A. I assume that when your clients used the 
4 
going to do that, then he has the ability under 
4
trartsdipt as a basis for their false conclusion

our rules to review the entire transcript of

that I was guilty, they reed the whole transcripts.

MR. SCAROLA: What Ian doing.

Q. Every word.

Mr. Scott -- what I am doing, Mr. Scott --

MR. SCOTT: Don't interrupt him.

MR. SCAROLA: -- is reviewing the evidence

Q. You don't need to assume that. I will 
12 
that was relied upon by Bradley Edwards and by 
12
stipulate they read every word. 
13 
Paul Cassell in coming to the conclusion that 
13 
MR. SCOTT: Mr. Scarola, he's speaking. 
14 
the allegations that had been made by Virginia 
14 
You don't have a right to do this. 
15 
Roberts were, in fact, credible allegations. 
15 
A. And if you read every word, you will see 
16 
MR. SCOTT: And I'm -- 
16
that its totally exculpatory. that I have no idea 
17 
MR. SCAROLA: Because your own client has 
17
whether there were any young women in one part of 
18 
acknowledged that this is information that was 
18
the house when I was in another part of the house. 
19 
available to both him and to them back in 2009. 
19
It's completely consistent with my testimony that I

MR. SCOTT: And what I am doing is showing 
20
have never seen any underage women. Let's see. 
21 
him portions of the sank deposition that 
21 
And if you read the whole transcript. 
22 
totally take a different position from this 
22 
you'll see. I think: 
23 
witness from what you have read, so that this 
23 
"Was Dershowitz ever there when one of the 
24 
record is a complete record and not a partial 
24

25 
record with your inference only. And I feel 
25 
"I don't notxria.: that. 
294

that that's totally appropriate. If we were in
