A lawyer for Bill Cosby began a series of high-profile media appearances Wednesday to push back against the latest flood of news linking the comedian to sex assaults.
Monique Pressley, the lawyer, began her media blitz on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
“Mr. Cosby has denied the accusations that have been lodged thus far,” Pressley said. “The sheer volume, or number of people who are saying a particular thing, does not make it true,” she said.
The remarks came after weeks of silence in the wake of disclosure of Cosby’s deposition in a 2005 lawsuit.
Pressley said the deposition should remain secret and that he had never admitted to giving drugs to women without their consent so he could have sex with them.
Cosby’s advisers told The New York Times that Pressley would be speaking to a number of news outlets throughout the day.
