Alan Dershowitz is suing Netflix over rape allegations in its Jeffrey Epstein docuseries

Lawyer Alan Dershowitz is suing Netflix over its portrayal of a rape allegation against him in a docuseries about Jeffrey Epstein.

In a lawsuit first reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Dershowitz accuses Netflix and the producers of "Filthy Rich" of creating a "deliberately one-sided narrative."

The four-part documentary series, called "Filthy Rich," features stories from women who have accused the late financier of using his power to abuse them. The series was added to Netflix in late May of last year.

One of the women featured in the documentary, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, has claimed she had sex with Dershowitz on several occasions - a claim Dershowitz denies. The 41-page lawsuit filed by Dershowitz denounces the series' coverage of the incident as a "he said/she/said situation."

As much as I despise Alan Dershowitz he may be legally right in this case. On the other hand a lot more info about him, most of it not so nice, could be brought up if he pursues this suit.
