About the Book
“Relentless Pursuit: My Fight for the Victims of Jeffrey Epstein” was written by attorney Bradley Edwards with Paul Cassell and published in 2020. It documents the decade-long legal battle Edwards fought on behalf of Epstein survivors beginning in 2008.
Edwards’s Background
Bradley Edwards is a Florida attorney who began representing Epstein victims shortly after the 2008 plea deal, which he and Paul Cassell argued violated the Crime Victims’ Rights Act. Their CVRA lawsuit was the primary vehicle through which victims challenged the NPA for years.
Key Content
The book covers: how Edwards first became involved with the case, the years of obstruction and pressure experienced while litigating against Epstein and his powerful attorneys, the strategic decisions made during the CVRA case, and the decade-long fight that ultimately contributed to Epstein’s 2019 federal arrest.
Significance
“Relentless Pursuit” provided an insider account of how victims’ attorneys operated against overwhelming resource asymmetry Epstein employed Alan Dershowitz and Kenneth Starr while victims were represented by attorneys working on contingency or pro bono.
The book is considered one of the essential primary accounts of the legal side of the Epstein accountability story.
