BOY CRAZY Epstein, Unroch (inset)

Wacky attorney William Unroch may jokingly dismiss claims that his ex-girlfriend and current client, Maximilia Cordero, is a man ("Maybe we're both space aliens!" he told Radar when reached by phone), but he's still serious about the merits of his case against the alleged kiddie-fiddler.

"We're gonna come forth with a lot of new material against Mr. Epstein in the next few days," Unroch claims. "This is just the beginning. Keep an eye on the papers for more details."

The New York Post today reported that Cordero, who has accused the Palm Beach financier of forcing her to partake in "bizarre and unnatural sex acts" in his Manhattan townhouse when she was a teenager, was actually born "Maximillian" and has been living as a female since his early teens. "I think they're just trying to defame this poor girl's reputation because they know there's a lot more to this case," Unroch said. "What Jeffrey Epstein did, whether to a man or woman, was disgusting, and illegal."

Epstein flak Howard Rubenstein, whose position as Post PR person surely had nothing to do with the placement of this story, professes shock at the allegation of schlongery on Cordero's part, and suggests that the possible peen-packer's claim has no substance because, you know, she might have a dick. We're no experts, but when the best you can do to defend your client is to imply that an allegation against him is baseless because he has heretofore only been accused of abusing underage girls, you might want to rethink your strategy a little bit.
