VIRGINIA Giuffre’s lies continue to unravel, with unsealed documents revealing that even the journalist who broke her sensationalist accusations against Prince Andrew branded her a liar.
Audio Runtime: 1:17:53 (approximately 78 minutes, close to the commonly cited ~80 minutes)
The Sharon Churcher/Tony Lyons transcript refers to a recorded private conversation (approximately 80 minutes long) from October 2, 2019, between British journalist Sharon Churcher (formerly of the Daily Mail/Mail on Sunday, known for her 2011 reporting that first publicly identified Virginia Giuffre as an Epstein victim) and Tony Lyons (publisher at Skyhorse Publishing, who has published books by Alan Dershowitz).
The transcript surfaced publicly in late 2020 as an exhibit in court filings in the defamation lawsuit Giuffre v. Dershowitz (Case No. 19-cv-3377-LAP, S.D.N.Y.), where Dershowitz submitted it as part of his defense.
Alan Dershowitz submitted the Sharon Churcher/Tony Lyons transcript to the judge (Hon. Loretta A. Preska) in the defamation case Giuffre v. Dershowitz (Case No. 19-cv-3377-LAP, S.D.N.Y.).It was filed as part of his defense materials on or around November 20, 2020 (docket entry ECF No. 210), along with a supporting declaration from Tony Lyons (who made the secret recording of their October 2, 2019, conversation). The transcript was used to challenge Virginia Giuffre's credibility and to argue for broader discovery, including attempting to subpoena Churcher for deposition.

What's in the deposition of Sharon Churcher that it needs to remain sealed for more than four years now? Hmmm...

This record includes the
Affidavit of Anthony Lyons, attached hereto as Exhibit A, and the transcript of a lawfully recorded
October 2019 conversation between Mr. Lyons and Ms. Churcher, attached hereto as Exhibit B. Mr.
Lyons is a book publisher and acquaintance of Professor Dershowitz. In Mr. Lyons’ conversation with
Ms. Churcher, which occurred in a context unrelated to any journalistic pursuit by Ms. Churcher
concerning the matters relevant here and thus outside of any available journalistic privilege, Ms.
Churcher disclosed in detail the content of her spring 2011 interviews with Plaintiff, thereby waiving the
protection of the New York Shield Law under the express provisions of that statute and exposing herself
to discovery concerning those interviews. See N.Y. Civ. Rights Law § 79-h(g).
