Roberts said Dershowitz was one of the famous men she was “loaned” to under the command of Jeffrey Epstein, something Dershowitz has repeatedly denied.

Now, a lawyer tells DailyMail.com that all of Robert’s allegations “should be called into question” in view of the confession.

“How can someone be ‘misunderstood’ about something this serious?” a source told DailyMail.com.

A source close to Roberts claims that Prince Andrew is so famous that she can’t mistake her identity.

They told DailyMail.com that even a 17-year-old American girl, Roberts must have known he was a member of the British royal family, much more recognizable than a Harvard lawyer.

On Tuesday, Roberts dropped the defamation lawsuit filed against Dershowitz in 2019.

Mr Roberts said:

“I now realize that I may have made a mistake in identifying Mr. Dershowitz.”

A spokeswoman for Andrew declined to comment to DailyMail.com.
