Bill Cosby says he has no remorse for sex assault victim in sickening first interview behind bars
DEFIANT Bill Cosby insisted he has no remorse for his sexual assault victim in a sickening first interview from behind bars on Monday.
The disgraced comic, 82, again pleaded his innocence and railed against the jurors that convicted him for his 2004 attack as "imposters".
"I was there. I don’t care what group of people come along and talk about this when they weren’t there. They don’t know."
The former Cosby Show star spoke out a year after he was jailed for drugging and molesting victim Andrea Constand at his home 14 years ago.
He said he anticipates serving out his full 10-year sentence - which he claims was unfairly handed down after he was convicted by a biased jury.
A bitter Cosby blasted: "It’s all a set-up. That whole jury thing. They were impostors."
'PENTHOUSE' CELL
Cosby - who refers to his prison cell as his “penthouse” - said he now spends his time in prison lecturing fellow inmates during Saturday sessions with Mann Up, a prison reform program.
He said: “I go into my penthouse and lay down and start to think about how I can relay a message and give it on Saturdays so that they would hear it and feel it."
Cosby’s spokesman, Andrew Wyatt, told CNN on Monday the actor “feels that he is a privileged man in that prison because they cannot break him or his mind.”
Wyatt also revealed that Cosby is referred to as ";the godfather" by fellow inmates.
The spokesman added: "Cosby is enjoying that role as a mentor who is getting respect and can connect with so many of the prisoners when he delivers his regular speeches.
"He has only been at the facility a little over a year but is treated like a friend and confidant who has been there over 20 years."
INSISTS INNOCENCE
Cosby's lawyers filed an appeal in June arguing his criminal conviction was flawed as five other accusers gave "strikingly dissimilar" testimonies compared with that of Constand.
Cosby, a Temple University trustee, drugged Temple employee Constand before sexually assaulting her.
She went to police the following year but prosecutors did not bring charges and her case was eventually settled in civil court in 2006.
But a decade later, dozens of women came forward to accuse Cosby of a string of sexual assaults throughout his lengthy TV career.
Constand's ordeal was the only alleged attack to take place within the statute of limitations and new prosecutors ordered the criminal case be revisited.
Cosby was arrested in December 2018 and he was eventually convicted last year of three counts of aggravated indecent assault.
He was sentenced to 10 years in September last year.
