Bill Cosby Won't Be Teaching Kids About Sexual Assault After All

Bill Cosby’s spokeswoman is walking back his camp’s claims that the comedian will soon host town hall meetings on sexual assault education – saying the tour is really about “restoring his legacy.”
“The town hall meetings are not about sexual assault,” Ebonee Benson said Sunday on CNN’s “New Day Weekend.” “I will repeat: These town hall meetings are not about sexual assault.”
Last week, Benson and another Cosby publicist, Andrew Wyatt, announced on an Alabama morning talk show that Cosby – fresh off the mistrial that was declared in his sex-assault trial – would tour the nation to give speeches to young people about the dangers of sex-crime allegations.
“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 and partying, when they’re doing certain things that they shouldn’t be doing. And it also affects married men,” Wyatt said at the time.
