Bradley Victims To Get $89 Million

Delaware Superior Court Judge Joseph Slights III has approved a $123 million settlement in the class-action lawsuit brought by victims of pedophile pediatrician Earl Bradley against Beebe Medical Center, the Medical Society of Delaware and several other doctors.

The settlement is believed to be the third largest in U.S. history. The settlement gives compensation to Bradley’s child victims, while also allowing Beebe to avoid bankruptcy.

“The court is satisfied that the settlement is fair, reasonable and adequate,” Slights wrote in his opinion. “The court is satisfied that certification of a limited fund class-action was the only way to ensure that all victims could be compensated in this instance given the scope and severity of the sexual abuse alleged here.”

It's all about the money.The issues at Penn State have resonated throughout the country and remain an unspoken precident whenever and wherever an injustice involving children takes place.Beebe bears the stigma of such injustices,but played no part in them.
