Bill Cosby to Teach Young People How to Avoid Sexual Assault Charges


Less than one week after a judge declared Bill Cosby's sexual assault case a mistrial, the embattled actor-comedian is gearing up to "get back to work."

On Thursday, Cosby's rep, Andrew Wyatt, told Good Day Alabama host Janice Rogers that the actor is planning to hold a series of town hall meetings starting "sometime in July" to help educate young men and women about sexual violence – specifically, the threat of being accused of inappropriate behavior.

"This is bigger than Bill Cosby," Wyatt said on the show. "This issue can affect any young person, especially young athletes, of today, and they need to know what they're facing when they're hanging out and partying, when they're doing certain things they shouldn't be doing. And it also affects married men."

Wyatt's reference to married men is a nod to the primary argument made by Cosby’s defense attorney Brian McMonagle, that Cosby was a man who had been unfaithful to his wife, but not a perpetrator of sexual assault, as accuser Andrea Constand had testified. Added Ebonee Benson, a spokeswoman for Camille Cosby, "Laws are changing, the statute of limitations for victims of sexual assault are being extended, so this is why people need to be educated on … a brush against the shoulder. Anything at this point can be considered sexual assault. It's a good thing to be educated about the laws."

When reached for comment, Wyatt issued a statement to Rolling Stone confirming the town halls – and suggesting that he's hoping they will expose the larger forces at play in Cosby's trial.

"My Associate Ebonee Benson and I received hundreds of calls from civic organizations and churches requesting for Mr. Cosby to speak to young men and women about the judicial system," Wyatt tells Rolling Stone. "They feel that the young men and women need to be aware that Mr. Cosby was given a deal to never be criminally charged by Former DA Bruce Castor and 12 years later DA Kevin Steele runs a Willie Horton style campaign ad saying, 'If you elect me I will bring Bill Cosby to justice.'"

"These groups would like for Mr. Cosby to share that people in the judicial system can use their powers to annul deals for personal agenda and political ambitions," he adds. "Speeches will be free."

Anyone who shows up to that is a fucking scumbag. Seriously, is there anyone still left that thinks Cosby didn't rape those women?

Never mind, don't answer that, I already know. Apparently, at least 1 in 12 people, possibly more, thinks that.

This has to be the most goddamn patriarchal thing I've ever heard of. It's disgusting, arrogant, and if the "town halls" ever happen, they will be swarming with protests.

Not surprised churches and conservatives are into this. I heard a lot of "Don't be left alone with a woman, she could accuse you of anything!" shit when I was in the church. I'm sure they believe Cosby is innocent and all of his accusers are godless money-grabbing jezebels.

Maybe they should ask someone to speak who has actually avoided sexual assault charges, instead.

By not assaulting anyone.

41. Over a time period of 40 years.

If each woman only had a 10% chance of being truthful (and that's me severely low balling the estimate), there would be a 98.6% chance of him having drugged and raped at least one woman.

How anyone can think he is innocent is beyond me.

You shouldn't post this. You should hold a seminar at 250 bucks per ticket, get up on a stage and sell it to people.

No, you should sell the idea that women are out to accuse you of rape to ruin your athletic career/marriage/legacy.
