An attorney for Bill Cosby issued a statement on Sunday addressing resurfaced allegations of sexual assault, but said the veteran comedian won’t talk about the charges.
The alleged victim, actress Barbara Bowman, claimed that Cosby raped her in an essay in the Washington Post last week. She and other women have accused the comedian of assaults dating back to the 1980s.
“Over the last several weeks, decade-old, discredited allegations against Mr. Cosby have resurfaced,” said John P. Schmitt. “The fact that they are being repeated does not make them true. Mr. Cosby does not intend to dignify these allegations with any comment.
