Breaking Cosby news--Happy New Year!

Bill Cobsy to face criminal charges in PA


9:30 a.m.

Prosecutors in Pennsylvania are set to announce whether Bill Cosby will be charged over an encounter with a woman 12 years ago.

Montgomery County prosecutors say they will announce the results of a new investigation on Wednesday at 10 a.m.

A former Temple University employee told police the comedian drugged and violated her at his home near Philadelphia in 2004.

Cosby's lawyer declined to comment on the case before the announcement. The 78-year-old comedian previously said under oath that he had consensual sexual contact with the woman.

A previous district attorney declined to charge Cosby in 2005. Prosecutors reopened the case as new evidence was unsealed in the woman's related civil case and dozens of women came forward with similar accusations.

The answer is yes.
according to break news at the Inquirer.

Aggravated indecent assault. The "indecent" seems kind of redundant. What is that about? (ETA: Is that another term for sexual assault? Gah! I need coffee.)

Larry Wilmore is going to have a field day.

Yep, he still hasn't forgotten you motherfucker.

It's pretty sad that we are cheering for one case out of the dozens that he should have stood trial for. But I'm still hoping he sees the inside of a court room and addresses at least one victim.

Since he's on vacation, I'll have to closely monitor Twitter today. Happy New Year indeed!

It's not a conviction (yet, hopefully) but I hope the picture of him in custody gives his victims some measure of justice.

[sparrowsong]

He looks like he's crying?

[bugandbibs]

I'm really glad there isn't a statue of limitations issue here.

[WOT?*]

Poor beleaguered, old, put-upon Jell-O spokesman. I feel bad for him, having to deal with all this negative publicity at his age and with his career as a role model.

No, I don't.
I was overjoyed to see the story about his arraignment this morning. I hope there are 52 women feeling relief and a reason for some celebration.

[bronxgirl]

And he's still wearing one of his awful sweaters.

I hope he gets convicted. He needs a reminder that he's not above the law.

[StrawberryBlondie]

If he is guilty (which I do not doubt for a second), I hope he is found guilty and spends some time in prison.

Has anybody seen the post going around Facebook that this only happened because he was about to take over NBC and Hollywood wants to keep black men down?

Blink Blink.
No, no I have not.

[ESF]

This is awesome.

I imagine there are other prosecutors out there with enough to charge him but haven't wanted to stick their neck out on this issue so I hope this emboldens them and leads to a string of charges.

My Mom just liked an article that said Bill Cosby = Bill Clinton.
