A spokesman for Bill Cosby announced on Thursday the comedian plans to travel the country this summer talking to young people about how to avoid being accused of sexual assault.
“We are now planning town halls and we’re going to be the — sometime in July — we’re gonna talk to young people,” spokesman Andrew Wyatt told “Good Day Alabama” on Thursday. “This is bigger than Bill Cosby. 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 at parties – when they’re doing certain things they shouldn’t be doing. And it also affects, you know, married men.”
Starting in July, Cosby will speak before groups and share his tips on how to spot warning signs that someone who a person may have had a sexual experience with is about to allege it was not consensual.
The host then asked if it was a “do as I say, not as I do” approach to the issue, but the other spokesperson, Ebonee Benson, immediately pivoted.
Nearly 60 women have claimed Cosby committed sexual assault and misconduct against them since his days as the lead on “The Cosby Show.”
His first trial ended earlier this week in a hung jury. The judge declared a mistrial, but Cosby will remain free on $1 million bail, allowing him to go on this tour.
