(CNN) Les Wexner, the former head of the parent company that owns Victoria's Secret, has agreed to answer written deposition questions in a lawsuit involving Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre and attorney Alan Dershowitz, but Dershowitz wants him to testify in person or on camera, according to newly unsealed documents. Dershowitz's attorneys have subpoenaed Wexner to testify in person on September 4 in Columbus, Ohio, as well as requested documents involving Epstein, Giuffre, and correspondence with her attorneys. The court documents were unsealed Monday by a federal judge in the suit between Giuffre and Dershowitz. Giuffre alleges that Epstein sexually abused her between 2000 and 2002 when she was a minor, and that he "lent" her out to others including Dershowitz for "sexual purposes," an allegation Dershowitz denies. Attorneys for Dershowitz are seeking to depose Wexner to try to prove that Giuffre's claims that Wexner sexually abused her were part of an extortion attempt, the documents show.
