BIDEN ANNOUNCES 471-COUNT INDICTMENT OF EARL BRADLEY

On Monday, February 22, Attorney General Beau Biden announced the indictment of Lewes Pediatrician Earl Bradley for the rape and sexual assault of more than 100 child victims between 1998 and 2009. 

"I know that todays indictment will reopen painful wounds and open new ones for a Lewes and Sussex County community that has been deeply traumatized," Attorney General Biden said. "As I have said before, we will prosecute this case to the fullest extent of the law. As a prosecutor, I am bound by certain rules that limit what I can say in the midst of an active investigation. I cannot say certain things that I am feeling, and I am feeling a great deal. I am determined to see that this defendant will never, ever be in a position again to hurt another child." 

The indictment is based on video evidence seized by law enforcement at the defendant’s home and office in December, 2009 and is the result of a year-long investigation.
