Journalist To Discuss Bill Cosby Scandal In Cherry Hill Sept. 23

CHERRY HILL, NJ — An award-winning journalist who covered the Bill Cosby sex abuse scandal will discuss the topic at the Cherry Hill Public Library this month. Nicki Weisensee Egan, author of “Chasing Cosby: The Downfall of America's Dad” will discuss the topic on Monday Sept 23, 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Egan has been following the Bill Cosby scandal since 2005. When the scandal bubbled up again in October 2014, she was able to quickly reconnect with those victims and sources and began breaking exclusive stories, including the news of Cosby’s arrest on Dec. 30, 2015. She continued to get interviews with accusers who have never spoken and develop leads on new angles.

Cosby is famously known for the 90’s sitcom “The Cosby Show.” He now has been convicted of three counts of drugging and assaulting women about 14 years ago. The 82-year-old star was found guilty and sentenced to 3-10 years in prison.

Egan’s book follows the case since the beginning of the scandal. The book includes interviews from the accusers, details on how Cosby planned and executed his crimes, along with evidence his crimes were kept away from the media by law enforcement. Registration is required and can be submitted online.
