If found guilty of aggravated indecent assault, the 78-year-old could face up to 10 years behind bars. He is due in court on Jan. 14.
The reported victim, Andrea Constand, was an employee at the comedian’s alma mater, Temple University, at the time of the alleged incident, and claims the Golden Globe winner offered her pills at his home one night to “relax.”
Bill Cosby gets escorted into the District Court in Elkins Park, Penn.
When she woke up, she says the father-of-five was fondling her breasts and crotch and put her hand on his penis.
Although a criminal investigation was launched at the time, the local district attorney dropped the case after failing to find sufficient evidence against Cosby.
