Bill Cosby's petition for parole denied after he refuses therapy
Bill Cosby, now 83, would have become eligible for parole on Sept. 25 after completing the three-year minimum term of his sentence. He was sentenced to 3 to 10 years in prison and designated a sexually violent predator on September 25, 2018, after being convicted earlier in the year of the rape of Andrea Constand, his former friend at Temple University, in 2004.
Laura Treaster, a spokeswoman for the state parole board, said the board would not consider Cosby for parole unless he completes the sexual violent predator therapy. He must also overcome a recommendation against parole from the state Department of Corrections and maintain a clear conduct record. Cosby was also told to develop “parole release plan.”
She said the reasons for the negative recommendation by the Corrections Department, and Cosby’s prison conduct record, are not public information.
Cosby spokesman Andrew Wyatt said his client expected to be turned down. “We knew he was going to be rejected. He called me and told me that if he didn’t take the course, he would be denied,” He has maintained his innocence from the beginning (and says he does not require sexual violent predator therapy).”
