Break the Code of Silence

Litigation and civil rights attorney Brian Claypool has squared off in the courtroom against child predators in some of America’s most notorious sexual abuse cases. He is also a highly regarded expert on sexual, physical, and emotional abuse and has regularly appeared as a legal analyst on various Fox News shows, Good Morning America, and other local and national media outlets. For the first time, Claypool tells his personal story of abuse and how that has fueled his mission to protect and defend children. 

In this inspiring story, Claypool bravely shares his own trauma, giving insight into what can happen when we don’t speak out, how abuse can affect victims for a lifetime, and how we can collectively break the pervasive code of silence. Along the way, he details five blockbuster cases he worked on and won for kids, including that of Anthony Avalos, a topic in the Netflix series The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez.  

Claypool provides important red flags—developed from his own years of experience in court analyzing child predators—for identifying trouble and safeguarding children.  

It’s time to end this power dynamic and give a voice to children and those who seek to protect them. This eye-opening, crucial must-read will empower anyone who wants to advocate for children and is courageous enough to defend them.
