Bill Cosby gives post-prison interview to Ohio radio station

Bill Cosby gave one of his first interviews after being released from prison in June to discuss the Olympics and the pandemic.

On Friday morning, Cosby was interviewed for roughly 15 minutes on WWGH radio show "Now with Scott Spears" in Marion, Ohio. The conversation  included topics such as the Olympics, teaching and education, and the pandemic.

However, what wasn't brought up in the conversation was recent allegations against Cosby and the overturning of his convictions that sent him to prison. Cosby was arrested in 2015 after a district attorney found newly unsealed charges against Cosby with only a few days before the 12-year statute of limitations was about to run out.

He was accused of drugging and molesting an employee at Temple University, Andrea Constand, at his house more than a decade ago. He has continually denied the allegation and said their encounters were consensual.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court in June ruled the district attorney pressing charges against Cosby was obligated to honor the promise from the previous district attorney that they would not charge Cosby.

Cosby was released from prison hours after the decision was made. He later would take to Twitter to thank the court for their decision and to continue defending himself.

The radio host said he didn't ask Cosby about the allegations and lawsuits because the 84-year-old comedian is currently going through multiple civil lawsuits. The host added Cosby's lawyers have advised him not to speak on these topics until the proceedings finish.

Spears said once the lawsuits against Cosby are finalized, he plans to set up another interview with the comedian on his show to discuss the lawsuits, allegations and his prison time.

Cosby gave his first post-prison interview to Detroit radio station Mix 92.3.
