Don't mess with Alan Dershowitz. Not if you're going to accuse him of having sex with an underage girl.
On the Today show this morning, the famed criminal attorney and Harvard Law School professor refuted the sex slave story that has ensconced him and Prince Andrew.

It's not the first time Dershowitz, 76, has vehemently denied having sex with Virginia Roberts, now a 31-year-old mother of three, who has joined a civil lawsuit in Florida in which she accuses Dershowitz and Prince Andrew of having sex with her in 2001 when she was a "sex slave" for financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
On Today, Dershowitz told Savannah Guthrie, "I've never seen her, I've never met her." He added that she should come forward to make her charges. "She is categorically lying and making the whole thing up." She claims they had sex six times.
He said, "This is Pinocchio's nose grow longer and longer."
Dershowitz also said he welcomes an investigation into the case. He would welcome depositions on both sides.
"I'm afraid of nothing. I am hiding nothing. She is afraid of revealing this in public. She is afraid of giving dates or specifics," he said. "I have been absolutely upfront in answering every question and the lawyers are lying through their teeth when they say I refuse to be deposed. They're hiding her. We sought to depose her."
Meanwhile, Prince Andrew is also expected to make an official statement about the allegations today at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland.
