After comedian Bill Cosby responded with silence on Saturday to a question about sexual assault allegations made against him, his lawyer said that Cosby will not be commenting on the accusations.
“Over the last several weeks, decade-old, discredited allegations against Mr. Cosby have resurfaced. The fact that they are being repeated does not make them true. Mr. Cosby does not intend to dignify these allegations with any comment,” Cosby’s lawyer, John P. Schmitt, said in a Sunday statement.
The sexual assault allegations against Cosby resurfaced this week after comedian Hannibal Buress called Cosby a rapist during a comedy sketch last month and the video went viral.
