Jeffrey Epstein has settled a lawsuit alleging that he pimped Sarah Ransome to Alan Dershowitz.

And Claude Taylor, former Bill Clinton staffer, has accused Alan Dershowitz of child rape and challenged him to sue him for defamation.

(On update: it appears that Ransome was an adult when she was provided to Dershowitz, so Taylor might be referring to another case.)

Billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein has settled a lawsuit with a woman who alleged that he forced her into sex acts and directed her to have sex with power attorney Alan Dershowitz. Sarah Ransome’s allegations against Dershowitz—who previously represented Epstein—were revealed this week, but she previously sued Epstein and his alleged madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, saying they trafficked her for sex from 2006 to 2007. Ransome withdrew the lawsuit Thursday after settlement was reached, the terms of which haven’t been disclosed. “We are pleased with the settlement. It provides as much compensation as money can provide for the horrific damage done by sex trafficking,” said her lawyer, David Boies. Epstein was convicted of soliciting an underage girl for prostitution—he’s also been accused of sexually abusing dozens of mostly underage girls at his Palm Beach mansion. Dershowitz issued a strong denial this week of Ransome’s allegations, saying: “I’ve never met this woman, I don’t know her, I never heard of her. She just made it up completely.”

@TrueFactsStated
I accuse you directly. You had sex repeatedly with minor victims provided to you by Jeffrey Epstein.

Why don’t you have the guts to directly accuse me so I can sue you for defamation and prove that you’re lying. Coward!

Did not sound at all credible...I believe this new report is different and who knows who the other one is for which Taylor is accusing Derp.

Not the same as Russian kompromat because they're way better at keeping secrets than Americans are.

Someone twisted enough to rape young girls doesn't deserve the time of day from anyone. He belongs behind bars and certainly not given any kind of a microphone by the news media. That would make their credibility... Lock them all up!
