“As we have always said, and now the United States can see, this is not about justice for victims of alleged sexual assault, it’s all about the money. We believe the courts, as well as the court of public opinion, will follow the rule of law and clear Mr. Cosby of these alleged charges,” said Andrew Wyatt.
He continued: “Mr. Cosby continues to vehemently deny all allegations against him and hopes to defend himself in court,” the spokesman stressed.
