The BBC said Thursday it is investigating how Alan Dershowitz was invited on air to discuss Ghislaine Maxwell's sex trafficking conviction without anyone mentioning that the U.S. lawyer was named by one of Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein's victims as having sexually abused her as a teenager.

The BBC was also slammed for failing to mention that Dershowitz was Epstein's ex-lawyer.

Dershowitz spent much of his allotted time on air slamming the testimony of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, claiming she wasn't a credible witness. His comments, and his personal involvement in the case, went unchallenged by the anchor.

Giuffre claims she was 16 years old when Dershowitz had sex with her. He has denied the allegations. She has also claimed she had sex with Prince Andrew.

Dershowitz claimed during the BBC segment that Giuffre's case against him and the royal was somehow weakened after a New York jury found Maxwell guilty on Wednesday of five criminal counts, including sex trafficking of minors. Maxwell was acquitted of a sixth count, enticing a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts.

Dershowitz's comments, and the BBC anchor's inability to put them in context, were widely criticized by public officials, with some legal experts calling it "totally inexcusable."

The uproar caused the BBC to issue an apology.

"Last night's interview with Alan Dershowitz after the Ghislaine Maxwell verdict did not meet the BBC's editorial standards, as Mr. Dershowitz was not a suitable person to interview as an impartial analyst, and we did not make that background clear to our audience," the network tweeted. "We will look into how this happened."

Dershowitz also appeared on Fox News to discuss the Maxwell verdict, but unlike the BBC, the network addressed his connection to the case.
