Bill Cosby Crunched The Numbers And Concluded Being Declared a Sexually Violent Predator Will In Fact Damage His Reputation
Bill Cosby’s legal team is challenging a recommendation by a panel of experts that he be declared a “sexually violent predator.”
In court documents filed Monday in Pennsylvania, attorney Joseph P. Green Jr. argued that requiring sex-offender registration would only serve to “punish, shame and control” the comedian “in violation” of his “constitutional rights.” Green also contended that the label would harm Cosby’s relationship with his grandchildren because he would not be allowed to be alone with any minors.
Under Pennsylvania law, a sexually violent predator is defined as a person who has a mental abnormality or personality disorder that makes the person likely to engage in predatory sexually violent offenses.
Cosby was convicted in April of drugging and raping a woman at his Pennsylvania home in 2004. The guilty verdict was achieved in his second trial on the charges after the jury in his first trial was unable to reach a verdict.

I’ve got to say, Bill has been getting a lot of shit lately over the last few years, but you have to give him credit here: he nailed this one. He’s clearly been burning through the midnight oil trying to figure out what improves and destroys your image. Saving an old man from an oncoming car? Good for the image. Allegedly sexually assaulting 60 women and being declared a ‘sexually violent predator’ ? Really bad for the image. He says that the extreme declaration will only serve a purpose to “punish shame and control” the comedian. Well, yes Bill, that’s the point. You are a fucking scumbag and pretty much fit the bill (that’s a pun for those scoring at home) for being the face of sexually violent predators in this country. The whole point of that is to destroy your image. We’re trying to make the rest of your life a living nightmare.
