Investigation By Former FBI Director Louis Freeh Concludes That The Totality Of The Evidence Refutes Allegations Made Against Professor Dershowitz

- STATEMENT OF PROFESSOR ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ I am gratified by the statement by former federal judge and former FBI Director Louis Freeh set forth below. Following his independent investigation of the sexual misconduct accusations made against me, it concludes that in Judge Freeh's professional opinion, "The totality of the evidence found during the investigation refutes the allegations made against Professor Dershowitz." STATEMENT OF LOUIS J. FREEH Over the past several months, an independent investigation was conducted, under my supervision, by former senior federal law enforcement officials. We interviewed many witnesses and reviewed thousands of pages of documentary evidence. Our investigation found no evidence to support the accusations of sexual misconduct against Professor Dershowitz. In fact, in several instances, the evidence directly contradicted the accusations made against him. In my opinion, the totality of the evidence found during the investigation refutes the allegations made against Professor Dershowitz. Editor's note: Wiley Rein LLP represents Alan M. Dershowitz.
