STATEMENT from Lauren’s Kids founder and CEO Lauren Book, Florida State Senator and Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Advocate, RE: Bill Cosby Freed as Court Overturns His Sex Assault Conviction

Bill Cosby walking free on a legal technicality is a miscarriage of justice and a slap in the face to the SIXTY women and girls he sexually assaulted. Cosby may have been a comedian, but there is nothing funny about sexual assault and there is nothing funny about a serial offender walking free. Convicted by a judge and jury, Bill Cosby should still be in prison serving out his sentence.
