After spending more than two years in prison, Bill Cosby has been released after Pennsylvania’s highest court overturned his sex assault conviction – a development that can trigger painful emotions for victims of sexual abuse.
"Muting anything related to Cosby and his release. Extremely triggering and the reasons behind his release are even more triggering," one Twitter user shared following the news.
"Sending prayers and love to those who’ve been sexually assaulted ... molested, etc. ... this Bill Cosby release is beyond triggering," another user added.
"Please be extra gentle with persons you know who have experienced sexual assault. The Cosby conviction being overturned will likely be very triggering for them," another person tweeted. "As a Rape Survivor I am sending you extra love, and a reminder to be gentle with yourself in the coming days."
