Bill Cosby’s release from prison, on a legal technicality, raises questions – lot’s of questions, including, will the survivors who have accused him of sexual assault ever get justice? Anthea Butler, professor of religion and Africana Studies at the University of Pennsylvania, joins host Annette John-Hall to discuss this latest development.

Comedian Bill Cosby has been imprisoned for three to 10 years for aggravated sexual assault. He’s been classified as a sexually violent predator, so what becomes of his artistic legacy? Was “America’s Dad” conning us all along? And was this really a #MeToo turning point?

Now that Bill Cosby has been found guilty of sexual assault, what’s the appropriate punishment for his crime? And what is a fitting legacy for a disgraced, 80-year-old icon whose philanthropic and cultural contributions cannot be denied?

How a new jury will see the facts in the Bill Cosby retrial, and just as important, how will it decide one key question: Consent.

When you think about the sexual assault allegations against Bill Cosby, it¹s hard not to wonder about Camille, his wife of more than 50 years. Is she a tragic, long-suffering character in this drama, standing by her man?  A victim? Or an enabler? In this episode, we shift focus to the people who surround perpetrators, enable them and look the other way.

On this episode of Cosby Unraveled from WHYY, we take a closer look at new witnesses, including reality star Janice Dickinson,  who will testify for the prosecution, along with defense witness Margo Jackson, who is expected to share damning information against plaintiff Andrea Constand in the retrial of Bill Cosby.

On this episode of Cosby Unraveled from WHYY, we hear from a new Cosby accuser and explore why a successful, wealthy, celebrity icon, would need to drug women for sex.

Since Bill Cosby’s mistrial in the sexual assault case against him in June of 2017, scores of women have shared their stories of sexual abuse and harassment at the hands of other famous men. Victims are speaking out against male abusers, and they’re taking powerful men down. Now, Cosby is headed back to court. We explore how the #MeToo Movement will impact the retrial of the once beloved comedian.

In Cosby Unraveled, Season 2 we prepare for Cosby’s retrial set against the backdrop of the #MeToo moment.  Cosby’s first trial for sexual assault last summer ended in a mistrial.  Since then scores of women have come forward with accusations of sexual harassment and sexual assault against powerful men, and have been believed. What does this mean for Cosby’s case and the women who’ve accused him?  We’ll also examine Cosby’s psychology and ask what could explain his alleged, disturbing behavior, and what it could reveal about Cosby.
