Bill Cosby Booked on Sexual Assault Charge, Bail Set at $1 Million
  • 8 years ago
Bill Cosby has been booked on a sexual assault charge in suburban Philadelphia, marking the start of criminal proceedings and another milestone in his fall from grace after dozens of women have come forward to accuse the 78-year-old entertainer of drugging and raping them.
Cosby pleaded not guilty to three counts of aggravated indecent assault at a brief arraignment, where bail was set at $1 million.
A haggard-looking Cosby arrived at the tiny courthouse in Elkins Park, Pa., around 2:30 p.m. ET.
Cosby was charged Wednesday by Montgomery County district attorney's office with a sexual assault on Andrea Constand, a former Temple University employee, at Cosby's suburban Philadelphia home in early 2004.
