Bill Cosby to tell youngsters how to avoid sex charges

While prosecutors plan to retry the case, his spokesman Andrew Wyatt has said that "people need to be educated" about sexual assault law and allegations. "We're now planning town halls and we're going to be coming to [Birmingham] sometime in July ... to talk to young people because this is bigger than Bill Cosby".

Wyatt said young people "need to know what they're facing when they're hanging out and partying".

The comedian has denied all of the accusations.

She went as far as to say that "people need to be educated on a brush against the shoulder... anything at this point can be considered sexual assault".

This crusty old "she was asking for it" logic, which suggests women are responsible for preventing their own sexual assaults and all men are just a stick of incense away from losing control and raping someone, seems to be right in line with Cosby's own views on the matter.

Johnny Depp apologises for Donald Trump assassination comment
John Hinckley Jr., who tried to assassinate Ronald Reagan in 1981, was an aspiring songwriter and Jodie Foster fanatic. Johnny Depp had kicked up a storm with remarks suggesting that US President Donald Trump be assassinated by an actor.

The two representatives - and no doubt Mr. Cosby himself - aim to portray Mr. Cosby, 79, as a victim of amorphous laws and reckless prosecution who has now been freed not only to get on with his life but also to lecture others.

"It's easy to be falsely accused of sexual assault".

"Mr. Cosby's so-called workshops appear to be a transparent and slick effort to attempt to influence the jury pool from which jurors will be selected for his second criminal trial", Allred said in an email.

"And it also affects married men", Wyatt said, without elaborating.

Cosby has been accused of inappropriate behaviour by nearly 60 different women, with allegations ranging from unwanted sexual touching to rape, which some have said involved drugs that left them incapacitated. The program, for which details are still scant, will include a critique of the decision by prosecutors in Pennsylvania to bring charges against him. Constand said that Cosby, a Temple University trustee who was mentoring her, drugged her and took advantage of her, while Cosby says that whatever happened between them was consensual. If they can't give you consent, do not have sex with them. A spokeswoman for the anti-sexual assault violence group RAINN, Jodi Omear, told The New York Times that his time would be better spent informing people to not commit sexual assault, while the creators of the Women's March were decidedly more pointed. Allegations may have been classified as "false" for many reasons, including gaps in law enforcement, insufficient evidence, delayed reporting or inconsistencies in victims' statements, according to the report.
