OJ Lawyer, Dershowitz, Settles Illegal Sex Defamation Suit

Description

On Friday prominent U.S. lawyer Alan Dershowitz and two victims' rights attorneys withdrew claims from a Florida court that they defamed each other during a legal fight about a woman who said she was trafficked for sex as an underage girl. Dershowitz was one of OJ Simpson's attorneys during his trial for murder. The three lawyers said in a joint statement on Friday, "The parties believe it is time to take advantage of the new information that has come to light on both sides during the litigation and put these matters behind them." The defamation lawsuits stemmed from claims that the woman made in another court in December 2014 that she was forced as a girl to have sex with Dershowitz, the UK's Prince Andrew, and other men. Dershowitz and Prince Andrew denied the allegations. The allegations were later stricken from court records. The alleged victim was not a party to the defamation lawsuits or the settlement. A spokesman for the law firm of Boies, Schiller & Flexner, separate lawyers for her, said in a statement on Friday that she stands by her accusations.
