Summary
This document is page 4 of Brad Edwards' opposition to Jeffrey Epstein's motion for summary judgment in a civil case (Case No. 502009CA040800XXXXMBAG). Edwards argues that Epstein's claims of wrongdoing against him are unsubstantiated and that Edwards had no involvement in the Scott Rothstein fraud. The text explicitly states Epstein is a 'serial molester of minors' (citing Virginia Roberts' statement) and references Epstein's guilty plea and agreement with the US Attorney's Office regarding payments to approximately 34 victims.

None of the public materials identified by Epstein in his Motion make reference to any
wrongdoing by Brad Edwards. Rather, Epstein seeks to pyramid one impermissible inference upon
another from his citation to these materials to support his otherwise unsubstantiated and non-verifiable
conclusion that he had sufficient evidence to proceed with claims of wrongdoing against Edwards. In
truth, as reflected in Edwards' deposition and his supplemental affidavit, he has no involvement in any
fraud perpetrated by Rothstein (Edwards' deposition of March 23, 2010 at 301-302; Edwards Affidavit
attached to Statement of Undisputed Facts as Exhibit "N" at paragraphs 8-10, paragraph 20, paragraphs
22-23; Exhibit "H" - Deposition of Scott Rothstein at pp. 62-63, 114, and 121-124). Therefore, any
allegations relating to Rothstein's activities simply have no bearing on the legitimacy of any of the claims
against Edwards. Edwards could not have possibly "pumped" cases to investors when he never
participated in any communications with investors. Rather, Edwards had a duty to his clients to zealously
pursue discovery to achieve a maximum recovery against Epstein. Edwards cannot be liable for taking
appropriate action that his ethical duties as an attorney required. The evidence also reflects that Edwards
filed all three of his cases almost a year before he was hired by RRA or even knew Scott Rothstein
(Edwards' Affidavit, Exhibit "N" attached to Statement of Undisputed Facts). The language set forth in
his Complaints remain virtually unchanged from the first filing in 2008 and, as the evidence shows, the
claims asserted against Epstein from the outset were true. The citation to public documents is a
convenient ruse; Epstein was not only liable for the molestation of the clients of Brad Edwards, he was
also a serial molester of minors - even as young as twelve years of age (Exhibit "A" - Edwards'
Statement of Undisputed Material Facts paragraphs 1-43; Exhibit "D" - Statement of Virginia Roberts pp.
16-17). Epstein entered a plea of guilty to felony charges involving prostitution and the solicitation of a
minor for the purposes of prostitution (Exhibit "E" - Deposition of Jeffrey Epstein, March 17, 2010, pp.
101-103). Epstein also entered into an agreement with the United States Attorney's Office
acknowledging that approximately 34 other young girls could receive payments from him under the
wrongdoing by Brad Edwards. Rather, Epstein seeks to pyramid one impermissible inference upon
another from his citation to these materials to support his otherwise unsubstantiated and non-verifiable
conclusion that he had sufficient evidence to proceed with claims of wrongdoing against Edwards. In
truth, as reflected in Edwards' deposition and his supplemental affidavit, he has no involvement in any
fraud perpetrated by Rothstein (Edwards' deposition of March 23, 2010 at 301-302; Edwards Affidavit
