Is Alan Dershowitz frum?
Quote
Pornography (1976)[edit]
In 1976, Dershowitz handled the successful appeal of Harry Reems, who had been convicted of distribution of obscenity resulting from his acting in the pornographic movie Deep Throat. In public debates, Dershowitz commonly argues against censorship of pornography on First Amendment grounds, and maintains that consumption of pornography is not harmful.[23]

Why is he considered a "household name"? Who is he exactly?

I see what you are saying but what does that have to do with the question. If someone is publicly not frum, is it lashon hara to say they aren't frum? Is it lashon hara to say that Jerry Seinfeld isn't frum?
