He's trying to poison the jury pool, and prevent a fair trial.

He will lose.

Maybe, not. He usually doesn't but he has already tired Letterman in the media . His mission is to get Letterman to convince the state to cave and offer a soft plea,

From the article:

"And I think for Letterman to get up there and say ‘I’m the innocent victim and I had some consensual sex’—and he actually said some interesting things: He used the word ‘creepy’—well, the last time I tried it, consensual sex wasn’t creepy,” Shargel adds with a smirk.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shargel knows that Letterman didn't use the word 'creepy' to describe the sex, so that makes Shargel a liar already.

Also, it may be that Shargel didn't find his OWN consensual sex 'creepy,' but the other party very well may have.
