Former Israeli PM Ehud Barak Accused of Having Sex With Epstein Trafficking Victim
Barak has denied 'any improper event' related to Jeffrey Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial
Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre claimed to have had underage sex with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, according to court records made public on Friday.
The allegation is contained in a 2016 declaration by lawyer and former Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz, who said Barak was among several prominent men with whom Giuffre claimed to have had sex, including him.
"She has even claimed that all of these individuals, and me, had sex with her without using a condom," he said.
Photos of Barak entering Epstein's Manhattan mansion were published after Epstein was arrested on child sex trafficking charges in 2019.
The Wall Street Journal last year reported that they had at least three dozen meetings scheduled between 2013 and 2017.

At the time of the report, Barak said, “I never participated in any party or any other improper event around [Epstein], and never met him with girls or minors, or even adult women in improper context or behavior."
Giuffre sued Dershowitz for denying her allegation that Epstein trafficked her to him for sex.
She dropped that case in 2022 and said she "may have made a mistake in identifying Mr. Dershowitz."
In his 2016 declaration, Dershowitz called Giuffre's allegations against him "a fabrication from start to finish" and further suggested she may not have been underage "when she claims that Mr. Epstein trafficked her."
The declaration was released as part of a massive document dump ordered by a federal judge in Manhattan who last month ruled that a trove of records should be unsealed from a settled suit that Giuffre filed against convicted Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.
The former British socialite is serving 20 years in prison for a 2021 conviction for helping recruit underage girls to be abused by Epstein, a wealthy financier who died by suicide in jail while awaiting trial in 2019.
Former Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, and Britain's Prince Andrew are the high-profile and powerful people whose names started surfacing Wednesday in the unsealed court records.
None of the people listed — except Epstein and Maxwell — have been charged with crimes, and the inclusion of their names doesn't necessarily imply wrongdoing.
But some were accused of engaging in sex with Epstein's victims, including Andrew, who allegedly participated in an orgy with "numerous" underage girls on Epstein's private island, according to the documents.
Others named were mentioned only as passing references, including Trump and several celebrities.
