Now that there is nothing standing in the way of Bill Cosby's freedom and legal proceedings concerning his 2004 sexual assault charge have come to an end on the heels of his acquittal, the 79-year-old comedian is planning to get right to work. His first order of business? A series of nationwide town halls on the topic of sexual assault.
Cosby spokespeople Andrew Wyatt and Ebonee Benson appeared on Good Day Alabama to announce the speaking tour on Wednesday, June 21. According to Wyatt and Benson, the initiative is one that will allow Cosby to raise awareness on some of the signs, clues, and warnings to stay alert to when engaging in intimacy with a potential lover. The talks will target a young demographic of students and athletes and will incorporate chat on the repercussions one could face if they let their guard down or overstep their bounds in intimate settings and social gatherings.
"The laws are changing, the statute of limitations for victims of sexual assault are being extended, so this is why people need to be educated,'" Benson said of the events, which are scheduled to kick off in Birmingham this July.
