The criminal charges are the first against a man once known as americas dad. This years dozens of women accused him of past sexual misconduct. Jericka duncan was inside the courtroom on wednesday as cosby was arraigned and she is in elkins park, pennsylvania, just north of philadelphia. Good morning. Reporter good morning. The arraignment lasted less than ten minutes. Bill cosby appeared exposed. Inside the courtroom he paid the required 10 of his 1 million bail and was ordered to turn over his passport. With two attorneys at his side, bill cosby carefully stepped out of a black suv wednesday to Face Criminal Charges of sexual gripping a cane, the 78yearold stumbled on the curb as he was led into this small courthouse in elkins park, pennsylvania. The actcusationed that landed him here date back to 2004 when Temple University employ Andrea Constand says cosby Sexual Assaulted her in her own hope p. M. Con stand said within a half hour she experienced blurred vision and difficulty speaking. Mr. Cosby urged her to take pills that he provided to her and to drink wine. The effect of which rendered her unable to move or respond to his advances. Reporter constand said she awoke the next morning partially dressed. Cosby gave her a muffin and opened the front door and said, all right. At the time, the district enough evidence to charge cosby. In 2005 constand filed a civil suit that was settled but they decided to reopen the case in which the judge reveals dozens of depositions in which cosby admitted to giving drugs to women.

What was your clients reaction when he heard he was being charged . This didnt come as any surprise to us. We have been cooperating with the Montgomery County d. A. s office since we learned of the charges initially. They are saying there is significant evidence in this well, everyone can see that testimony. Your network has had it available, as well as all others. You know that this was deposition testimony that was the subject of a confidentiality agreement and was supposed to remain sealed, but, instead, not just the portions that were improperly released based on the judges decision, but also the information that was illegally gained through the release of a Court Reporter to entify. However, he does admit to buying quaaludes to use on women, obtaining these quaaludes to use on women. How are you going to defend that in court . Now, why would we have to defend that in court . That is an admission he makes specific individuals in the 1970s. Ten years ago, quaaludes werent even being made any more. Thth are are literally off the market. Its not something that could even be obtained and im certain even this hungry dachlt trying to keep a Campaign Promise isnt going to assert that cosby has somewhere hiding in his medicine cabinet quaaludes that are 30, 40, almost 50 years old and that was being offered to Andrea Constand many years ago. Many women have accused were client of similar acts regarding Sexual Assault. And that is incorrect. More than 50 women have not accused my client of similar acts. Its easy for people likeyour selves to say women have done that but that is not true. Many are coming through the press to say mr. Cosby sexually assaulted them and many of them have the exact same stories. In court or will you try to stop that from being admissible in court . It certainly isnt admissible in court. 50 women have come forward and saying they did not have the same story. Some of them say he rubbed against them or in front of their breasts at a party is not saying they were in an ongoing consensual relationship and affidavits saying i believe i was drugged. They arent the same thing. What this d. A. Has to do is prove the facts of this case. You know the prosecutors saying the judge allowed previous evidence from other cases. You have to be pre that. Well, there arent previous other cacases. What you mean there are allegations as you know andnd a wide r range of alallegations as you know. Yes. And those a are all allegationsns for which is there no corroboratining evidence. Allegations frorom decadeses ago, bothered to go in and make testimony, then we will deal with that at that time. He took a kanecane with him to court. Is his Current Health status part of your defense . His Current Health status doesnt have anything to do with the defense for this unsubstantiated charge.
