Following a chilling first-day account of what she claims Bill Cosby did to her, Andrea Constand was back in court facing questions from defense lawyers.
Bill Cosby, who has been accused multiple times of sexually assaulting women over several decades, was officially charged in relation to a 2004 incident in Pennsylvania. Montgomery County assistant district attorney Kevin R. Steele made the announcement Wednesday morning, saying the charge is first-degree aggravated indecent assault.
Prior to the many pieces, victims and testimony cementing Bill Cosby’s status as a reviled public figure, the comedian had almost reached the cusp of a comeback, planning a new NBC series and a Netflix standup special. Netflix was quick to shelve plans to release the special once Cosby’s deeds became a national focus, and now the streaming service doesn’t ever believe it “appropriate” to air.
