Defamatory biographical detail on the unsealed Virginia Giuffre and Ghilaine Maxwell documents
[edit]"Court documents unsealed in January 2024 allege that Dershowitz had sex with a minor trafficked by Epstein "on numerous occasions" and was "present alone" at Epstein's home "in the presence of young girls", according to sworn testimony."
The sentence above which appears in the article is about Virgina Giuffre, but the editor writes it in such a way that you would think that it's a new, unrevealed allegation from a different person entirely, and does not mention the fact that she settled in 2022 saying she made a mistake in identifying Alan Dershowitz. This should be changed immediately. Wayn12 (talk) 11:34, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
Done -- It was added just last week. I removed it as it was improperly sourced as written. SamuelRiv (talk) 05:32, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
Early Education
[edit]The article currently says he attended Yeshiva University High School for Boys in Manhattan, when he actually graduated from the now closed Brooklyn Branch of the High School, Brooklyn Talmudical Academy. See the 1955 Yearbook. I'm not an advanced enough editor to fix this mistake, someone with a higher level editor account please correct. Itsik.isserles (talk) 05:48, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
