Charles “Chuck” Cooper has been brought on to represent an accuser of Jeffrey Epstein in her defamation suit against Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz, after David Boies and his firm were removed from the case by a U.S. district judge in the Southern District of New York.

Cooper, a conservative legal luminary, is stepping in to serve as Virginia Giuffre’s lawyer after the Boies Schiller Flexner firm was disqualified from the case. Giuffre has said she was trafficked by the deceased financier and forced to have sex with Dershowitz and other powerful men.
