All the accusations against Bill Cosby are finally starting to actually go somewhere.
Yesterday, a Pennsylvania judge ruled that Cosby will have to go through a criminal trial for the alleged sexual assault of Andrea Constand. She worked at Temple University back in 2004 and she claimed he invited her to his house, gave her some pills to “take the edge off,” and then sexually assaulted her. She’s one of more than 50 women to make claims against Cosby.
Constand filed a civil suit against Cosby in 2005, which was settled out of court. But last year, a newly-elected D.A. decided to file criminal charges.
Cosby is now free on $1 million bail and no trial date has yet been set. If convicted, he faces up to 30 years in prison.
By the way, here’s an MSNBC report where Steve Kornacki briefly mixed up Bill Cosby with Bill Clinton. That’s unfortunate.
