Comedian and actor Bill Cosby arrived for a pre-trial hearing at the Montgomery County Courthouse in Norristown, Pennsylvania on Tuesday, where he faces criminal charges of sexual assault against Andrea Constand. The blind 79-year-old was accompanied by his team of lawyers, who walked him from the car to the door of the courthouse. Tuesday's hearing will determine if 13 accusers will be allowed to testify. Cosby's defence attorneys argue that because he is blind he cannot identify the accusers.
American stand-up comedian and actor Bill Cosby attended a pre-trial hearing at the Montgomery County Courthouse in Norristown, Pennsylvania on Tuesday, where the former actor faces three felony counts of aggravated indecent assault. Judge Steven O'Neill set the trial date at June 5, 2017. Prosecutors also decided to include the testimony of 13 out of 50 other women, who accuse the star of similar assaults. The 79-year old was charged in December with drugging and molesting Andrea Constand in 2004. Constand, a former Temple University employee, alleges that Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her in his home in Cheltenham. Constand previously settled a civil case against Cosby for an undisclosed sum in 2006. Cosby and his legal team have denied the allegations, claiming the encounter was consensual. If convicted, Cosby could face up to 10 years in prison and a $25,000 fine. Cosby maintains his innocence.
Bill Cosby may have been rather quiet the last few months, but it turns out the actor was quietly pursuing a secret breach-of-contract lawsuit against the woman he allegedly assaulted in 2004.
