So saying the allegations are untrue is tantamount to a general denial, and that is one additional reason, your Honor, that I think the complaint should be dismissed. Thank you. MS. McCAWLEY: Good morning, your Honor. May I approach with a bench book? THE COURT: Sure. MS. McCAWLEY: Thank you. THE COURT: I think in duplicate. Do you have another copy? MS. McCAWLEY: Sure, of course. Good morning, your Honor, my name is Sigrid McCawley, I'm with the law firm of Boies, Schiller & Flexner representing the plaintiff in the case, Virginia Giuffre. With all due respect to my colleague, I think she read a different complaint than the one submitted in this case. She left out significant factual details from the complaint that plead actual defamation. This is an old story. A woman comes forth and finally gets the courage to tell about the sexual abuse she endured, and her abusers come public and call her a liar and say her claims are, quote, obvious lies.
