Women’s Group: ‘Long Past Time For Bill Cosby To Be Held Accountable For His Actions’
As closing arguments begin today in the Bill Cosby sexual assault retrial case, in which the former Cosby Show star stands accused of three counts of aggravated indecent assault, Nita Chaudhary, Co-founder of UltraViolet, a leading national women’s group, issued the following statement:
“Bill Cosby is a serial sexual predator. For too long he has abused and traumatized countless women with impunity. The fact that our so-called justice system has repeatedly failed to hold him accountable for his crimes is unacceptable.
“The defense team’s attempts to discredit Andrea Constand and to paint Cosby as a victim of the #MeToo movement are beyond shameful.
“We believe Andrea Constand. We believe survivors.”
