The noted defense lawyer Alan M. Dershowitz and two lawyers who had sued him for defamation have dropped court actions against each other, ending a dispute involving accusations of sexual misconduct against Dershowitz. The settlement included a financial arrangement, but details were not disclosed. The case was linked to Dershowitz's representation of Jeffrey Epstein, who was accused of paying underage girls for sexual services. Dershowitz denied the accusations and counterclaimed for defamation. The settlement involved an acknowledgment of a 'tactical mistake' by the suing lawyers, but their client maintained her claims.
