Bill Cosby Accuser Andrea Constand Says Comedian’s Release ‘May Discourage Those Who Seek Justice’
overturned on Wednesday, called his release “disappointing” and feared that the decision “may discourage those who seek justice for sexual assault.”Constand and her lawyers Dolores Troiani and Bebe Kivitz noted in a statement posted to her Twitter their disappointment that the decision Wednesday “precluded a future prosecution” and clarified more as to why Cosby wasn’t prosecuted in 2005. “We remain grateful to those women who came forward to tell their stories, to DA Kevin Steele and the excellent prosecutors who achieved a conviction at trial, despite the ultimate outcome which resulted from a procedural technicality, and we urge all victims to have their voices heard.
