DonLever Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 from NBC: Embattled comedian Bill Cosby was free on bail Wednesday on a felony sexual assault charge — facing the first criminal charge against him after a series of rape accusations began mounting last year. Cosby appeared in a suburban Philadelphia courtroom and was ordered to surrender his passport after posting 10 percent in cash of a $1 million bond. Earlier, the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office announced it had filed an aggravated indecent assault charge against Cosby stemming from an alleged 2004 incident involving an ex-Temple University employee. The powerful entertainer arrived at magistrate court wearing a hooded gray sweater and holding a cane. He stumbled slightly after exiting an SUV and had to be held up by two people. He made no comment as he entered and later exited the building. A preliminary hearing was set for Jan. 14. "Upon examination of all of the evidence, today we are able to seek justice on behalf of Mr. Cosby's victim," Montgomery County District Attorney-elect Kevin Steele said at an initial news conference announcing the charg If found guilty on the sexual assault charge, a second-degree felony, the once-beloved TV father figure faces up to 10 years in prison and would have to register as a sex offender. Andrea Constand, the former Temple University employee, told police Cosby drugged and violated her at his home in Cheltenham Township, near Philadelphia, in January 2004. She was identified in the affidavit of probable cause against Cosby. Constand, 42, was not specifically named as the victim during the news conference, but Steele said that the woman "has indicated that she is willing to cooperate with us going forward." The 78-year-old "Cosby Show" star previously said under oath that he had consensual sexual contact with Constand. But a former district attorney declined to charge Cosby in 2005. The following year, Constand settled a civil lawsuit against Cosby on confidential terms. Montgomery County prosecutors had until a January 2016 deadline to file criminal charges against Cosby because of the 12-year statute of limitations for felony sex assault.

DonLever Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 I bet he gets off in this "trial of the decade". Money gets the best lawyer as we saw in celebrity trials OJ Simpson got off, Michael Jackson got off. Mike Tyson faced a similar charge of rape and got convicted because he a had lousy lawyer. The defense will rip into the victim by bringing up why did she took money from Cosby to settle the case. It comes down to who say what. Who has the jury will believe will decide the case.

I've been wondering the same thing. Those usually include a confidentiality clause so will she have to forfeit the payout he made? On the other hand, it might be worth it to see his admission in notarized writing. He'll be toast........ and rightly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scumbag is finally gonna get his due. Not really. He's 78 and spent almost all of his life as a praised icon, will get a cushy gig that costs a $&!# ton in taxes, and can't be charged with most of the allegations and this one is from 11 years ago. Getting his due is basically saying live life anyway you want and when you are on deaths doorstep we will take you in and treat you slightly better than your average retirement home senior.

Why can't these people who are accused of crimes just do a simple lie detector? Would save a ton of money, time, effort, and pain. Those things have like 95% success rate or something iirc from a book I was reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
