Suddenly, Bill Cosby can no longer escape prosecution. After years of accusers coming forward, the 50 plus women all have similar stories: he drugged me; he sexually assaulted me – or he tried to.
On Wednesday, Cosby was arraigned in a court in Pennsylvania on felony charges which stem from accusations by Andrea Constand, the first of dozens of women to go public against the comedian.
Although, at the end of the day, it’s all up to the jury.
This is a prosecutor that clearly has identified cases and only brings cases in which he can win. If you’re on the side of being charged by this prosecutor, that’s going to be some cause for concern.
Attorney Gloria Allred, who represents 29 of the women, said some may be called as witnesses, but it is up to the district attorney as to who will be called to the stand.
When and if the court case begins, it will be a long fall for the famed comedic icon. His once wholesome family demeanour has been shrouded by the indecent accusations, causing a whirlwind of defamation against his character. Cosby, whose net worth is around $400 million, will be able to cover the costs, but no amount of money will set his reputation straight.
