That is the basis for that particular allegation. Q. Mr. Cassell, does the police report you're referring to at any point say Professor Dershowitz abused any of these particular minors -- not were they abused at the mansion -- but did it say anywhere that Professor Dershowitz did that? A. The police report itself does not refer to Professor Dershowitz abusing these girls. However, when you look at the police report, what it shows is a pattern of egregious sexual abuse of approximately 23 to 24 young girls over an extended period of time at a mansion that was owned by Jeffrey Epstein who was one of the closest personal friends, from what I could gather, of Mr. Dershowitz. And so that was -- there's other information. I don't want to filibuster you on that. I would be happy to elaborate on that, but that is the first piece of evidence that I would begin referring to. If you want a more -- if you want -- just so the record is clear, if you want to know all the bases, all the grounds for which that allegation appears, then I would like to make a more extended presentation.
