Bill Cosby's release from prison sparks outrage from local advocacy group

Pennsylvania's highest court threw out Bill Cosby's sexual assault conviction and released him from prison Wednesday and ordered his release from prison after finding that he was denied protection against self-incrimination.

Cosby was convicted on three felony counts of aggravated indecent assault in 2018 for drugging and assaulting Andrea Constand in 2004, and was serving a three- to 10-year sentence. Cosby had already served nearly 2 1/2  years of 3-10 year sentence.


Cosby's release from prison has angered sexual assault victims and advocacy groups like PAAR …..Carlos Golfetto, Director of Clinical Services for PAAR tells Lynne Hayes-Freeland he hopes Cosby's overturned conviction won't discourage survivors from coming forward.

Golfetto encourages anyone who wants to talk to call PAAR's 24/7 hotline. 1-866-363-7273.
