More than 60 women have come forward to say Bill Cosby allegedly drugged and sexually assaulted them in the past. Nevertheless, in a statement, the disgraced comedian says he is a victim of “racial bias and prejudiced” while trying to get the location of his forthcoming Pennsylvania trial moved. 

Reports TMZ:

Cosby’s lawyers just released a statement calling out those who “accuse him of crimes for unwitnessed events” … and Cosby particularly directs his frustration at Gloria Allred.

The 79-year-old’s adamant Allred’s trampling on his civil rights, saying, “her campaign against Mr. Cosby builds on racial bias and prejudice that can pollute the court of public opinion. And when the media repeats her accusations — with no evidence, no trial and no jury — we are moved backwards as a country.”

Cosby was in court Tuesday as his team tried moving the sexual assault case out of Montgomery County … arguing Cosby won’t get a fair trial there. His trial’s set to begin June 5th, 2017.

Recently, it was revealed that Cosby is now legally blind.

Being Black has nothing to do with an individual choosing to allegedly drug women and sexually assault them, though.

Per Variety, the 79-year-old’s trial will start no later than June 5, 2017
