UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
Case No. 9:08-80736-Civ-Marra/Johnson
JANE DOE NO. 1 AND JANE DOE NO. 2’S RESPONSE TO SUPPLEMENT IN
SUPPORT OF MOTION FOR LMITED INTERVENTION BY ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ
COME NOW Jane Doe No. 1 and Jane Doe No. 2 (the “current victims”), by and through
undersigned counsel, to file this response to the Supplement to Reply in Support of Motion for
Limited Intervention by Alan Dershowitz (DE 317-1). Dershowitz claims that an affidavit
submitted by Jane Doe No. 3 in support of an unrelated pleading proves that she is “lying with
respect to her claims against [him].” DE 317-1 at 1. The affidavit proves nothing of the sort.
Indeed, if recent pleadings show anything, it is that Dershowitz continues to hide the truth about
his activities.
Before turning to the specifics of what Dershowitz argues in his supplement, it is even
more important to consider what he fails to argue. In neither his original reply (DE 306) nor his
recent supplement (DE 317-1) has Dershowitz provided specific evidence to contest Jane Doe
No. 3’s allegations that he sexually molested her. This omission is revealing, because
Dershowitz has repeatedly claimed in the media that he has irrefutable proof that her allegations
are false. For example, on January 7, 2015, on the Fox Business (Lou Dobbs) program,
Dershowitz stated: “I did the investigation in a day and was able to prove through all kinds of
1
Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 319-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 03/24/2015 Page 3 of 34
records that I couldn’t have been in these places. The woman is a serial liar. If [Cassell and
Edwards] had done that investigation, they would have come to the same conclusion.” 1
Similarly, on January 8, 2015, on the Greta van Susteren show on FOX, Dershowitz claimed:
“Now I can prove through documentary evidence that I was never at the times and places she
[Jane Doe No. 3] alleges she had sex with me.” 2
Yet despite having publicly claimed to have
“all kinds of records” and “documentary evidence” that “prove” Jane Doe No. 3 is lying,
Dershowitz has yet to produce a single document to this Court. Dershowitz’s intransigence is
not limited to this case, as he has also refused to comply with discovery requests in a parallel
defamation action in state court. His refusal has led to a pending motion to compel. See
Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel Production of Documents, Edwards v. Dershowitz, No. CACE 15-
000072 (Feb. 23, 2015) (attached as Exhibit 1) (“despite having had 45 days to gather materials
that allegedly provide ‘absolute proof’ than he has never even met Jane Doe No. 3 – and despite
having told numerous media sources that he had already collected such information –
Dershowitz has provided none of these documents . . . .”). 3
The Court should draw the obvious
inference that Dershowitz, despite making broad claims to the media, has no such evidence to
produce – because Jane Doe No. 3’s allegations are true.

3 Jane Doe No. 3 explained in her earlier response that the Court should not allow
Dershowitz to intervene here because he can protect his (alleged) reputational interests in the
pending defamation action. DE 291 at 11-12). The Court may be interested to learn that
Dershowitz has recently filed a counterclaim against Edwards and Cassell for defaming him in
that action – suggesting he can litigate his reputational interests there, and thus has no need to do
so here.

Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 319-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 03/24/2015 Page 4 of 34
In his most recent supplemental filing with this court (DE 317-1), Dershowitz twists the
facts and jumps to conclusions in service of his crusade against Jane Doe No. 3. For example,
Dershowitz notes that Jane Doe No. 3 told attorney Edwards before April 2011 that Dershowitz
had abused her, but then says “she and Edwards sat on this highly charged accusation for three
years and eight months before first using it in their [sic] pleading filed on December 30, 2014.
This constitutes laches that prejudiced . . . Dershowitz . . . .” DE 317-1 at 2. Dershowitz ignores
the key fact that in April 2011, attorney Edwards did not represent Jane Doe No. 3. Accordingly,
he could not “sit” on her claims against Dershowitz because he was not empowered, at that time,
to pursue them. 4
With regard to the claim of laches, Dershowitz argues that he has been prejudiced
because if the allegations had been filed earlier, “he would have been in a far better position to
secure travel and other records needed to disprove these charges.” DE 317-1 at 2. But, as noted
above, Dershowitz has already told worldwide news media that he has already collected all of the
records and can provide irrefutable, documentary proof that Jane Doe No. 3 is lying. For
example, Dershowitz has told the Boston Globe that “he will use his travel and credit card
records, which he said he has fastidiously saved, to refute the allegations against him.” 5
4 Nor did Jane Doe No. 3 sit on any claims against Dershowitz, notably claims relating to
the CVRA case. In 2011, Jane Doe No. 3 lacked legal counsel regarding the CVRA claim. It
was not until her recent return from Australia to the United States that she understood the claims
involved in the CVRA action and obtained legal counsel to pursue them. See DE 310-1 at 8, ¶
57.

Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 319-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 03/24/2015 Page 5 of 34
Dershowitz can’t have it both ways – simultaneously claiming he has the records and that he is
harmed in collecting them – and the Court should not credit his conflicting positions.
CONCLUSION
The Court should deny Dershowitz’s motion to intervene.

CAS SELL,
vs.
Plaintiff(s),
ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ,
Defendant(s).
PLAINTIFFS' MOTION TO COMPEL PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS
Plaintiffs, Bradley J. Edwards and Paul G. Cassell, by through their undersigned
attorneys, move to compel production of documents relevant to this action that defendant Alan
M. Dershowitz has refused to produce.
Dershowitz has told numerous media sources that he has collected documents that
provide "absolute proof" that he has not sexually abused a minor woman known as "Jane Doe
No. 3." And yet despite having received a valid discovery request for these and other related
documents more than 45 days ago, Dershowitz has refused to produce these documents to
Edwards and Cassell. Indeed, he has refused to produce any documents to them. Accordingly,
the Court should direct Dershowitz to produce these materials forthwith, as well as order him to
pay reasonable costs and attorneys' fees necessitated by his refusal to make any appropriate
document production.

Edwards, Bradley vs. Dershowitz
Case No.: CACE 15-000072
Plaintiffs' Motion to Compel Production of Documents
FACTUAL BACKGROUND
On December 30, 2014, Jane Doe No. 3 filed a motion (and later a corrected motion)
seeking to join a case in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Jane Doe
Nos. 1 and 2 v. United States, No. 9:08-cv-80736. She was represented by two attorneys who
specialize in (among other things) representing crime victims, Bradley J. Edwards and Paul G.
Cassell. The case involved an attempt to rescind a non-prosecution agreement (NPA) barring the
prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein and his criminal associates on grounds that the victims' rights
under the Crime Victims Rights Act (CVRA) had been violated.
In her corrected motion, Docket Entry (DE) 280, Jane Doe No. 3 briefly proffered the
circumstances that would qualify her as a "victim" eligible to assert rights under the CVRA. See
18 U.S.C. 3771(e) (defining a CVRA "victim"). Jane Doe No. 3 briefly explained that when she
was a minor, Jeffrey Epstein had trafficked her to Prince Andrew and Alan Dershowitz (among
others) for sexual purposes. The motion also provided specific reasons why Jane Doe No. 3's
participation was relevant to the case, including the pending discovery issues regarding Prince
Andrew and Dershowitz. See DE 280 at 9-10 (explaining several reasons participation of new
victims was relevant to existing issues).
After the motion was filed, Dershowitz made numerous media statements about the filing
— and defamatory statements about Edwards and Cassell. For example, on CNN on January 5,
2015, Dershowitz stated that Edwards and Cassell are "prepared to lie, cheat, and steal. These
are unethical lawyers."

In the course of defaming Edwards and Cassell, Dershowitz also made numerous
representations that he had collected documents proving that he had never even met Jane Doe
No. 3, much less sexually abused her. For example, on the same CNN program on January 5,
Dershowitz stated: "No, never met her [Jane Doe No. 3], I didn't know what she looked like until
I saw her photograph. . . . I have a superb memory. I have a memory of not having met her. I
did not meet her. And believe me, I remember everybody I've ever had sex with. . . . I can prove
it by flight records. I can prove it by my travel records." Id. (emphasis added). Dershowitz
went on to say that disproving Jane Doe No. 3's allegations was a simple task requiring about
one hour of work: "If they [Edwards and Cassell] had just done an hours' worth of work, they
would have seen she is lying through her teeth." Id.
That same day, on NBC's Today Show, Dershowitz repeated his claim that it was a
simple matter to collect documents disproving allegations made by Jane Doe No. 3:
Her lawyers Paul Cassell, a former Federal judge and Brad Edwards, deliberately
and willfully filed this pleading which they knew I had no opportunity to respond
to in court, without doing any investigation, if they had simply investigated the
manifests of the airplanes, if they had checked my travel records, if they had
asked me and I could have given the names of these people who are witnesses,
they would know the stories, totally, completely false.

Edwards, Bradley vs. Dershowitz
Case No.: CACE 15-000072
Plaintiffs' Motion to Compel Production of Documents
Two days later, Dershowitz told Lou Dobbs on Fox Business, that he had already
completed his investigation and had "all kinds of records" proving that Jane Doe No. 3 was a
liar:
They [Edwards and Cassell] did it for crass financial and political reasons. More
to the point is [what] they didn't do... I did the investigation in a day and was able
to prove through all kinds of records that I couldn't have been in these places.
The woman is a serial liar. If they had done that investigation, they would have
come to the same conclusion.
http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/3976630676001/alan-dershowitz-the-woman-is-a-serial-liar/?
sp=show-clips.
In response to the CVRA motion that Edwards and Cassell had made for Jane Doe No. 3,
on January 5, 2015, Dershowitz filed a motion to intervene in the case to respond, along with an
affidavit claiming that he had not sexually abused Jane Doe No. 3. In that affidavit, Dershowitz
stated that "[i]f [Edwards and Cassell] had done any reasonable investigation of their client's
false allegations, they would have found absolute proof that I did not [sexually abuse her] ...
even the most minimal of investigation would have proven conclusively that I could not have
had sex with their client on Mr Epstein's island, in New Mexico or on the airplanes; and that I
did not have sex with her in his New York or Palm Beach homes." DE 282-1 at ¶ 8.
On January 6, 2015, plaintiffs Edwards and Cassell filed their complaint in this action,
alleging a massive public assault on their character by defendant Dershowitz. On January 9,
2015, Edwards and Cassell filed their Initial Request for Production to Defendant Alan M.
Dershowitz. They requested production of documents along the lines that Dershowitz suggested
he had already collected. For example, Request for Production (RFP) No. 9 sought "[copies of

Case No.: CACE 15-000072
Plaintiffs' Motion to Compel Production of Documents
any and all 'absolute proof as described in paragraph 8 of the sworn declaration of Alan M.
Dershowitz."
On February 11, 2015, counsel for Edwards and Cassell sent an email to counsel for
Dershowitz, noting that discovery production was past due and inquiring as to whether a motion
to compel would be necessary. That same day, a paralegal for Cole, Scott & Kissane confirmed
that appropriate production would be made by the end of the week. Shortly after, an attorney for
Dershowitz disavowed that commitment, and indicated that Dershowitz would make his
productions by February 23, 2015.
On February 23, 2015 — 45 days after the discovery requests had been served —
Dershowitz responded. With regard to the request for production of documents, Dershowitz
produced no documents whatsoever. Instead, he made a vague commitment to produce
unspecified documents at some unspecified time in the future. Illustrative of Dershowitz's
failure to make any substantive production is the following request for production and
Dershowitz's answer:
9. Copies of any and all "absolute proof' as described in paragraph 8 of
the sworn Declaration of Alan M. Dershowitz.
RESPONSE: Defendant objects to this Document Request to the extent
that Plaintiffs seek to alter or shift any burdens of proof as a matter of law in this
action. Subject to and without waiving the foregoing specific objections and
General Objections, Defendant responds that he will produce all responsive, nonprivileged
documents currently in his possession, custody or control.
Dershowitz made the same evasive response — "Defendant responds that he will produce"
unspecified "non-privileged documents" — to multiple discovery requests. See Dershowitz

Edwards, Bradley vs. Dershowitz
Case No.: CACE 15-000072
Plaintiffs' Motion to Compel Production of Documents
Response to Requests for Production 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23.
To permit the Court to review the extent of Dershowitz's evasions, a copy of his responses is
attached to this pleading as Exhibit A.
In short, despite having had 45 days to gather materials that allegedly provide "absolute
proof' that he has never even met Jane Doe No. 3 — and despite having told numerous media
sources that he had already collected such information — Dershowitz has produced none of these
documents to Edwards and Cassell. He has also made blanket assertions of a variety of
privileges, but has produced no privilege logs.
CONCLUSION
Accordingly, Edwards and Cassell request:
1. That Dershowitz be directed to produce all materials covered by the discovery
requests forthwith;
2. That Dershowitz be held to have waived any and all otherwise applicable privileges as
a consequence of his failure to timely file a privilege log; and
3. That Dershowitz be ordered to pay reasonable costs and attorneys' fees associated
with the need to file this motion to compel.
CERTIFICATE OF GOOD FAITH EFFORT TO RESOLVE
Plaintiffs have attempted in good faith to resolve the discovery issues presented in this
motion (and others) as evidenced by the letter attached as Exhibit B. The Defendant has failed to
respond as of the time of the filing of this motion.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
These responses and objections reflect the current state of Defendant's knowledge
regarding the matters discussed herein. Defendant has not completed his discovery or trial
preparation in this matter. Accordingly, Defendant reserves the right to revise, correct, clarify,
supplement, or amend his objections and responses to reflect information hereafter discovered or
acquired. These responses and objections are provided without prejudice to the rights of
Defendant to use or rely upon subsequently discovered information or documents at any time,
including at trial. The fact that a Document Request has been complied with in part shall not be
construed as a waiver of all or any part of any objection that Defendant might or could make to
- -
EXHIBIT A
_o■
Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 319-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 03/24/2015 Page 17 of

any Document Request propounded by Plaintiffs. Defendant further reserves the right to object
to the admission in evidence of any and all information made available in response to the
Document Requests on any ground, including, but not limited to, the ground that it is irrelevant
and immaterial to the issues in this action.
GENERAL OBJECTIONS
1. The General Objections and statements in this section apply to each of
Defendant's responses to the Document Requests set forth below and are not necessarily
repeated in response to each individual Document Request.
2. By responding to the Document Requests, Defendant does not concede that any
information requested is relevant to this action or admissible at trial. Defendant expressly
reserves the right to object to further discovery on the subject matter of any of these Document
Requests.
3. Defendant's responses set forth below include only documents located or obtained
up to the date of service of the responses. Additional responsive, non-privileged documents may
be ascertained or identified subsequently, and Defendant reserves the right to rely on such
documents throughout this litigation and at trial.
4. Defendant objects to each Document Request to the extent that it calls for
documents protected by the attorney-client privilege, the work-product doctrine, or any other
applicable privilege or protection. By responding to any Document Request, Defendant does not
waive any applicable privilege as to that Document Request or as to any other present or future
discovery request.
5. Defendant generally objects to the Document Requests as unduly burdensome and

34
Defendant's possession, custody, or control; is publicly available; is already in Plaintiffs'
possession, care, custody, or control; or is generally available to Plaintiffs.
6. Defendant generally objects to the Document Requests to the extent that the
information sought is not identified with sufficient particularity.
7. Defendant objects to the definition of "Documents" to the extent that it seeks the
production of things beyond the scope of Rule 1.280 of the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure.

data as well as application metadata and system metadata" and "inventories and rosters of your
information technology (IT) systems — e.g., hardware, software and data, including but not
limited to network drawings, lists of computing devices (servicers, PCs, laptops, PDAs, cell
phones, with data storage and/or transmission features), programs, data maps and security tools
and protocols" as overly broad and unduly burdensome.

States, Case No. 08-80736 (S.D. Fla.) (the "Federal Action") that she was "kept as [Jeffrey
Epstein's] sex slave from about 1999 through 2002." Jane Doe #3 further alleges in the Joinder
Motion that she "escape[d]" from Mr. Epstein and moved to Australia in 2002. Paragraph 5 of
the sworn Declaration of Alan M. Dershowitz refers to plane travel by members of Mr. Epstein's
legal team after 2002 and therefore Defendant further objects because this Document Request
does not seek documents relevant to this action or documents reasonably calculated to lead to the
discovery of admissible evidence.

member of your family on any aircraft on which Jeffrey Epstein was also a passenger during the
same flight.

visited Jeffrey Epstein's island, Little Saint James, as described in paragraph 8 of the sworn
