On Tuesday, Cosby was sentenced to serve three to 10 years in a state prison after being found guilty of sexually assaulting former Temple University employee Andrea Constand at his home in 2004.
While Constand has been the only one to see a conviction come from her allegations, many other woman have alleged that the comedian sexually assaulted them as well.
One of Cosby’s accusers, Victoria Valentino, appeared on CBS This Morning and shared her thoughts on his conviction and sentencing.
“I believe he is sociopathic, he has no conscious. Therefore, even if he apologized, it wouldn’t matter. It would just be an act. It would be something to engender sympathy from the public.” — Alleged Cosby victim, Victoria Valentino pic.twitter.com/BcAjH2P1He

“I believe he is sociopathic, he has no conscious. Therefore, even if he apologized, it wouldn’t matter. It would just be an act. It would be something to engender sympathy from the public,” she said.
Another accuser, Lise-Lotte Lublin, told Good Morning America that she “absolutely” does not believe Cosby has shown any remorse for his alleged actions.
