Dershowitz Denies Allegations of Sexual Relations with Minor

Alan M. Dershowitz, a Harvard Law School professor emeritus, faced allegations of engaging in sexual relations with an underage woman linked to Jeffrey E. Epstein. Dershowitz denied the accusations, pledging legal action. The claims emerged in federal court as part of a civil case challenging Epstein’s plea deal, which Dershowitz helped negotiate. The incident occurred amid a broader debate at Harvard Law School over sexual harassment policies, where Dershowitz states that he is now “even more committed” to incorporating due process into sexual assault adjudication procedures having been accused of misconduct.
