Who’s Paul Cassell? And why is he giving Alan Dershowitz such agita?

Cassell, a law professor at the University of Utah, has alleged, with co-counsel Brad Edwards, that Dershowitz had sex with a minor when the Harvard law professor was a guest of billionaire Jeffrey Epstein over 10 years ago. Dershowitz says “no one can understand [Cassell's] motive” in getting involved in such a sensationalistic case. (Cassell and Edwards are seeking to void a plea agreement, which Dershowitz helped draft, that spared the billionaire federal charges for sexually abusing minors.
