He's facing a felony charge for an incident that happened in 2004.

So long, Bill. There's no jello pudding in prison.

quote:

(CNN)Bill Cosby has been charged with sexual assault in relation to a 2004 accusation in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.

Cosby, whose legacy as a comedian has been besmirched by multiple accusations of sexual assault, faces one felony charge of aggravated indecent assault.

This is the first criminal charge levied against Cosby since the allegations first arose. Cosby has steadfastly denied any wrongdoing.

After looking at all the evidence in the 2004 allegations, prosecutors decided to charge Cosby "because it was the right thing to do," Montgomery County prosecutor Kevin Steele said.

CNN has reached out to Cosby's lawyers for comment.

The district attorney did not name the victim, but the accusations he announced parallel the allegations made by former Temple University employee Andrea Constand. She has said Cosby drugged and fondled her in January 2004.

She was the first person to publicly allege sexual assault by Cosby. Prosecutors declined to file charges at that time, citing insufficient evidence.

Constand settled a civil case against Cosby in 2006. Pennsylvania law has a 12-year statute of limitations for sexual assault cases, a window that closes early next year.

Some unsealed documents from that civil suit revealed that Cosby has admitted to getting prescription Quaaludes to give to women he wanted to have sex with.

Asked whether investigators believe Cosby used Quaaludes in the 2004 case for which he is being charged, Steele said that pills were provided.

"There's inconsistencies on [what pills they were]. There was also wine provided," the prosecutor said. He said the woman has said she was "frozen, paralyzed, unable to move," so she was therefore unable to consent to sexual activity.

The 78-year-old Cosby has been dogged by allegations of sexual assault. More than 40 women have come forward to publicly accuse him of assaulting them over four decades, most saying he drugged them first.

Cosby filed a countersuit this month against seven women who had accused him of sexual assault and sued him for defamation. Cosby said the women's accusations hurt his reputation so much that plans for a new family comedy on NBC were derailed.

On December 15, Cosby sued Beverly Johnson, a pioneering African-American supermodel who accused Cosby in 2014 of sexual misconduct that she says happened years ago; Johnson says the comedian drugged and tried to rape her at her New York home in the mid-1980s.

Cosby's lawsuit says Johnson joined other women making accusations against him to revive her waning career and to help sell copies of her memoir.

The lawsuit alleges defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress, saying Cosby and Johnson never spent any time alone in his house, he never drugged her and "her story is a lie."

"I am aware of the statements from Bill Cosby," Johnson said in a statement. "In cases of rape and abuse, abusers will do whatever they can to intimidate and weaken their victims to force them to stop fighting. I ask for your support of all of the victims involved."

It's based on the old "forgive and forget" model since the USA is an inherently Christian nation.

actually statute of limitations is usually a good thing, it's just that we don't have all the laws quite tweaked right yet. do you think it'd be cool to get arrested for shoplifting when you were 18 but 20-30 years after the fact?

also because it's hard as poo poo to prove something like rape 5-10 years after the fact

also there is no statue of limitations on sexual assault of a minor DUMB gently caress HAHAHAHA

what in general? do you really think that never happens because lol. Wal-Mart calls the police for anything over like $30.

not quite the same thing but i remember seeing a dude in his mid-30s getting hassled and detained by american border patrol because when he was a teenager he got busted swapping price tags in a department store

cbp officer was actually visibly frustrated that for some reason this guy couldn't remember the specific legal details of a case that happened twenty years ago and was probably largely handled by his parents and/or attorney

gently caress the border patrol

Glad official charges finally came out of this, even if its doubtful they can successfully prosecute him over an already difficult to prosecute crime a decade after the fact it still seems like the right thing to do.
