Description

Conviction overturned. Those words cut through social media last week after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court freed Bill Cosby from prison. He was there on a 2018 indecent assault conviction, a significant victory for the Me Too movement. Today, we check in with Nicki Weisensee Egan, host of the LA Times podcast “Chasing Cosby.” After Cosby’s release, she spoke with several women who’ve accused him of sexual assault in the past. We also talk to John Manly, a lawyer who has long gone after sexual predators and the institutions that protect them.More reading:I first covered Cosby’s accusers in 2005.
