Alan Dershowitz (above)  said the allegations against him are 'totally made up' and 'provably untrue' A Harvard law professor named alongside Prince Andrew in his 'sex slave' case has said he is 'fighting back' against his accusers and is confident any success will help clear the royal's name. Alan Dershowitz was named in court documents by a woman who says she was forced to have sex with friends of U.S. billionaire and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, including the Duke of York. Professor Dershowitz has today said the allegations against him are 'not only totally made up' but also 'provably untrue' and is now challenging the claims with 'all the resources he can muster'.
