BIDEN SUES TO PRESERVE BRADLEY ASSETS FOR VICTIMS

January 21, 2010: The Delaware Department of Justice has filed a civil racketeering lawsuit against Lewes Pediatrician Earl Bradley in Sussex County Superior Court. Delaware's civil racketeering statute specifically allows the Attorney General to help victims by putting a lien against and forfeiting a defendant's assets, including property that has been sold or moved out of state.

"We filed a civil racketeering lawsuit against Dr. Bradley and his business in order to preserve his assets, and ultimately to seize them for the victims," Attorney General Biden stated. "We are acting aggressively to use all of the tools and resources at our disposal to continue the investigation and serve victims."
