Jeffrey Epstein's Lawyers Strike Back
Oct. 27 2008, Published 7:07 a.m. ET
MORE FRICTION Epstein Attorneys for alleged pervert billionaire Jeffrey Epstein aren't taking accusations that their client is a pedophile sitting down. We just received the following statement from Epstein lawyers Guy Lewis and Michael Tein regarding the lawsuits filed by 14-year-old "Jane Doe 1" and 16-year-old "Jane Doe 2", both of whom are accusing Epstein of sexually assaulting them during private "massages" at his Palm Beach estate:
"This is plaintiff Attorney Herman's second 50-million-dollar lawsuit against Mr. Epstein. It is an outrageous, defamatory, copycat of the first. Both complaints are full of lies. Indeed, Mr. Herman's first lawsuit was filed without the plaintiff's knowledge and over her objection. Mr. Herman is now exposed to a contempt sanction.
"Whoever Jane Doe '2' is, she is an adult and her allegations are false. We decline to prosecute this case in the media as her attorneys are clearly attempting to do. Instead, we'll fight this in Court as the rules provide."
