In Cosby Unraveled, Season 2 we prepare for Cosby’s retrial set against the backdrop of the #MeToo moment. Cosby’s first trial for sexual assault last summer ended in a mistrial. Since then scores of women have come forward with accusations of sexual harassment and sexual assault against powerful men, and have been believed. What does this mean for Cosby’s case and the women who’ve accused him? We’ll also examine Cosby’s psychology and ask what could explain his alleged, disturbing behavior, and what it could reveal about Cosby.
