For the first time, Bill Cosby will face criminal charges in connection with an accusation of sexual assault, the Associated Press reported on Wednesday morning, just ahead of a scheduled press conference by prosecutors in Montgomery County in Pennsylvania.

The AP, citing two unnamed sources in the prosecutor’s office, did not specify the charge or charges against Cosby. People Magazine was also reporting on Wednesday that Cosby would face charges.

This is the second investigation into allegations that the comedian drugged and assaulted Andrea Constand 12 years ago. Constand first accused Cosby of assaulting her in 2005. At the time, prosecutors declined to press charges.

The statute of limitations in this case runs out in January.

Exactly. And more charges likely to come from other incidents over the years.

Wonder if Trump knew this was coming and timed his attacks on Clintons accordingly. ??

I’ve not seen ‘scold’ as a noun. I think I like it.

[Nea Wood]

It’s sort of old-fashioned. I like it, too.

Oh, that is gross! LOL!!

Goodness, where is Robert Culp when you need him?

[Theodore R.]

So many still like Mr. Bill and his lively livelihood.

[Theodore R.]

Didn’t Mr. Cosby endorse Mr. Bill in 1992 or 1996 or both? He was probably getting ready to back Mrs. Bill too, and now she won’t care for the endorsement.

Reprehensible behavior!

SHAME on America for overlooking this rapist in the President’s office!!!

NOW let us stand against this behavior! No one is immune or excepted. moo
