COLLEGEVILLE, Pennsylvania (AP):
Bill Cosby says he’s prepared to serve his 10-year maximum sentence for sexual assault rather than show remorse for a crime the comedian says he didn’t commit. Cosby is serving three to 10 years in a state prison near Philadelphia after a jury last year convicted him of sexually assaulting a Temple University employee in 2004.
The 82-year-old says the Pennsylvania parole board is “not going to hear me say that I have remorse”.
He thinks it’s therefore unlikely that he’ll be released early.
He made the comments in a phone interview Sunday with BlackPressUSA as he appeals his felony conviction and sex-offender status.
Legal experts say sex offenders typically must show remorse to be considered for parole.
Cosby is best known for his 1980s-era sitcom The Cosby Show.
