Q. And -- and -- and background means that it's not for attribution, correct? A. Right. The background means the reporter can use the information, but shouldn't attribute it to a particular person. Q. And, in fact, you have -- A. Or let me -- let me just clarify. Some time -- well, background, I think, you know, we are now talking about sort of -- when I use the term "background," it would generally mean that this is something maybe that you want to investigate and see if you can confirm in other ways, but it shouldn't be sourced to ~- that I shouldn't be quoted directly because they are going to have to find other -~ other sources that confirm that same information. Q. Okay. And so my question is that it is true that you have spoken with a number of reporters on background about [REDACTED]'s allegations in this case, correct? A. Well, a number -- a few, I would say, is probably a more accurate characterization. Q. Andin any of those background conversations, ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS (954) 331-4400 317 did you ever identify Miss Roberts as someone who had been sexually abused by Mr. -- Professor Dershowitz? A. I tried to identify myself as the attorney representing someone who said that she had been sexually abused by Dershowitz. I think you've received -- you know, we can go through -- you know, we have produced, I think, 2,500 pages of discovery. Many of those pages are media communications. And, you know, we can go through, and I think you know that there are a number of examples, many examples, where I have said, I represent a woman who has alleged that... Some verbal formulation along those lines. I mean, attorneys represent victims all the time and -- and I don't think people generally understand when an attorney makes a statement, that the attorney is adopting and vouching for that statement. They are -- they are serving in a representative capacity. Q. Have you finished your answer? A. TI have. Q. Okay. Do you -- are you a party to any fee agreement of any kind that would relate to a possible recavery from Les Wexner? MS.

Let me give you Exhibit 1, I will give you 2 back so we don't lose it -- A. Okay. QQ. -- or keep it in front of you with the others. A. Okay. So, now, let's see. Okay. Yeah. I have it. Q. In preparing this brief, did you personally review the citations to the record that were given to support the factual assertions? A. As opposed to somebody else on the legal team? Q. Yes. I'm trying to ascertain whether you, yourself, reviewed citations -- I'm going to be asking you about a deposition transcript -- citations to the record evidence that are cited as representing to the court as supporting the factual assertions? A. Imean, I reviewed some, and others. You know, maybe I need to -- this is starting to get into work product.
