The BBC has apologised for interviewing Alan Dershowitz, the lawyer who helped Jeffrey Epstein stay out of prison in 2008, and one of the key associates accused of sex trafficking by by Virginia Giuffre, regarding the outcome of Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial.

The BBC brought on Dershowitz without properly explaining his intimate connection to Epstein, giving the impression that he was an impartial correspondent.

The network announced Dershowitz as just a “constitutional lawyer”:

After public outcry, the BBC was forced to apologise and vowed to “look into how this happened”:

the BBC is interviewing Alan Dershowitz – who’s been accused of sexual misconduct relating to his friendship Jeffrey Epstein – about the Ghislaine verdict, as if he’s an impartial expert? they haven’t even provided any context of the allegations (which he denies) to the audience

I saw a tweet calling the British media the “pedophile defence force”, then moments later saw that the BBC was going to Alan Dershowitz for first comment on Ghislaine Maxwell lol

Remarkably, Dershowitz himself hit back, claiming that it was “entirely appropriate” for the BBC to interview him:

Following the Maxwell conviction, BBC requested an interview, during which I explicitly stated that I , Prince Andrew and other people had been accused of having sex with Virginia Guffre.

I commented on the prosecution’s wise decision not to use her as a witness because of her lack of credibility. The media has repeatedly interviewed victims of Epstein’s abuse.

It is entirely appropriate for the media to interview victims of Guiffre’s false accusations as long as there is full disclosure and no one is misled.

Dershowitz has denied Giuffre’s claims and sued her for defamation in 2019.
