Bill Cosby plans seminars on sex assault, spokesman saysLUCAS JACKSON/REUTERS US comedian Bill Cosby's trial on sex assault charges was declared a mistrial on June 18. US comedian Bill Cosby plans to conduct a series of free public seminars about sexual assault this summer, his spokesman says, days after a Pennsylvania judge declared a mistrial in Cosby's sex assault trial. "I received hundreds of calls from civic organisations and churches requesting for Mr Cosby to speak to young men and women about the judicial system," Andrew Wyatt, Cosby's spokesman, said in an email on Thursday (Friday NZ time). Wyatt cited Cosby's assertion that former district attorneys had vowed not to prosecute him during negotiations related to a civil lawsuit. Cosby has long denied sexually assaulting anyone, saying that any sexual contact he had with Constand or anyone else was consensual.
