A New video shows Bill Cosby minutes after his release describing how he was "surprised" when guards told him he was a free man to go.
Spokesman for the comedian and convicted sex offender Andrew Wyatt posted the video on his Instagram page yesterday, celebrating the one-year anniversary of Cosby's release.
In the video, which was taken by Wyatt a year ago, 84-year-old Cosby describes the moment he was told he was a "free man".
Cosby recalled that "four or five" guards entered his cell to tell him he was a "free man" and that he thought they were telling him to take a bath.
"I was in bed, on the cot, when they opened the door and four or five guys were yelling: "Bill, get up. You're going home,'" he said."
Cosby was released from prison in June 2021. His guilty verdict has not been overturned and he has not been exonerated of his crimes.
He was found guilty of sexually assaulting a minor
Facing the law once again was Bill Cosby. The Santa Monica Superior Court convicted the famed comedian of sexually assaulting an underage girl, named Judy Huth, at the Playboy mansion in 1975.
Although it happened many years ago, California state law protects minor victims and allows them to sue for a crime against them, even decades later.
According to the complaint, Cosby had sexually assaulted the woman, now 64, in a bedroom in the mansion when she was just 16. The two had met in a Los Angeles park during the filming of a movie. Then, Cosby invited her to a tennis club with a friend, where he offered them alcohol.

After several drinks, Cosby also invited them to the mansion and warned them to say at the door that they were 19 years old in case anyone asked. At one point, Judy Huth asked to go to the bathroom. When she returned, he led her into a bedroom and asked her to sit next to him on the bed. When she did, he began touching her without her permission.
The jury decided that the victim will receive $500,000 in damages from the star. It will be recalled that the comedian was convicted in another rape case, against Andrea Constand, with the victim claiming he drugged and raped her at his home in Pennsylvania in 2004. However, the court found him not guilty and Bill Cosby was eventually released from prison.
