A spokesman for Bill Cosby says his wife and children haven’t visited him in a Pennsylvania prison because the actor doesn’t want them “in that environment.” Spokesman Andrew Wyatt says Cosby also fears the visits would become a circus. Cosby is serving a three-to-10-year sentence for a 2004 sexual assault. State officials say he’s been moved to the general population after four months in prison. Wyatt sees him regularly, and says Cosby is fit, is working on new creative projects and is a very happy man.
