Reporter behind Epstein exposé reveals harassment by Alan Dershowitz and now weird computer attacks
In an interview with InStyle, Miami Herald reporter Julie K. Brown confessed that since her series of reports on Jeffrey Epstein broke that led to the multi-millionaire being arrested in New York on child trafficking charge she has been the recipient of weird computer and phone activity that she finds unsettling.
She also revealed that Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz has tried to discredit her reporting with her peers.

When you go after powerful people, you know that they are going to try to find a way to mess with you, she explained. When [my story on Epstein] came out, [Harvard Law School professor and former Epstein attorney] Alan Dershowitz wrote an open letter to the Pulitzer Prize committee, trying to discredit my work and influence the board [not to award the Miami Herald a prize].
He must have said a million times, I know that youre not going to tell the truth because youre just aiming for a Pulitzer,' she recalled. When I do this kind of work, its the farthest thing from my mind. I never thought that this Epstein story would be as big as its turned out to be. Never. The thing that drives me is finding justice and telling a story people can relate to, because there are tons of vulnerable women who have gone through something like this.

OP
All Dershowitz is doing is drawing more attention to himself. He will regret it.

The Pulitzer committee thrives on awarding its prize to reporting shot full of holes. It really enhances the prestige of giving and getting a Pulitzer Prize to bad reporting.
Does Alan even hear himself? Nitwit.

Copying for visibility:
Florida Sen. Lauren Book has reached out to Capitol police after receiving an anonymous warning connected to her demand for a state inquiry into Palm Beach Sheriff Ric Bradshaws handling of accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epsteins lenient work release program, the Miami Herald has learned.
In a statement, the Palm Beach Sheriffs Office said it had no knowledge of anyone trying to threaten or pressure Book.
Nor has PBSO made any effort to access her phone or emails as alleged on a salacious website run by a disgruntled former employee, the statement said.
The website is tied to a former Palm Beach sheriffs deputy who defected to Russia after starting the blog that claims it is dedicated to exposing corruption in the Palm Beach Sheriffs Office. The former deputy, John Dougan, fled to Moscow in 2016 following an FBI raid on his Palm Beach home that he claims was politically motivated

Reporter plagued with weird activity after Jeffrey Epstein bust
Julie K. Brown, whose Miami Herald reporting led to Jeffrey Epsteins latest charges, says shes noticed eerie activity since the news broke.
Nothing has happened yet, she tells InStyle of any direct intimidation.
But the one thing Ive noticed is that there is definitely something weird going on with my phones and my computer. Ive been getting incessant FaceTime calls, one after another, from different numbers. Im talking millions. I answered only one. I hope that means they didnt hack in I thought, Who are you? Why are you doing this?

and that is why he was found injured. I am sure many would like him to stay silent.
