WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 01st July, 2021) Actor and comedian Bill Cosby has been released from prison following the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's decision to overturn his 2018 sexual assault conviction, the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections said on Wednesday.
"Mr. Cosby was released from SCI Phoenix just before 2:30 p.m.," the department said on their official Twitter account.
Cosby was convicted of sexual assault using incriminating statements that he made during a previous civil suit under oath, based on a decision by the then-District Attorney not to charge him criminally.
