Bill Cosby, 83, who has served three years in prison after he was convicted in 2018 of drugging and raping a young woman, was denied parole earlier this monthBill Cosby has been denied parole after he refused to take part in a state-mandated rehabilitation program for convicted 'sexual predators' since doing so would be an admission of guilt. Cosby was rejected for parole after failing to convince the state parole board of his suitability in a review conducted earlier this month, DailyMail.com has learned. The disgraced actor was up for consideration after serving three years in Pennsylvania’s SCI Phoenix following his 2018 conviction for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand in 2004. Reacting to the decision, Cosby’s spokesman, Andrew Wyatt, said that it came as no surprise to his family, friends or legal team. According to Wyatt, ‘He remains hopeful that the Pennsylvania State Supreme Court will issue an opinion to vacate his conviction or warrant him a new trial.’
