Bill Cosby Decision Day: Arraignment Today– Arrest Warrant Issued in 2004 Sex Assault Case

Share

Update: Bill Cosby will be arraigned later today in Pennsylvania after his official arrest. He committed aggravated indecent assault, says District Attorney.

Earlier:
An arrest warrant has been issued for entertainer Bill Cosby for allegedly drugging and sexually assaulting former Temple employee Andrea Constand at his Elkins Park, Pennsylvania mansion in January 2004, according to People magazine.

A press conference is imminent.

If Cosby is arrested and arraigned it will bring some satisfaction to the dozens of women who’ve come forward in the last year or more. The formerly beloved comedian has turned out to be a Jekyll and Hyde who has just about a life long history of drugging and assaulting women. Their stories by now are well known.

It’s a very sad ending to what was a heralded life and career for Cosby. He became a role model and educator, a paragon of virtue as a family man and father. For his long time fans, Cosby’s implosion came as a shock.

More to come…
