Attorneys: Cosby accusers are grateful for charges
The Constands reported the alleged assault to authorities in Canada, and Constand’s mother reached Cosby on the phone to confront him, at which point he allegedly “apologized and offered to cover any expenses associated with therapy”. The actor who once portrayed beloved iconic TV dad Cliff Huxtable, was taken in to custody on sexual assault charges from 2004 on Wednesday. He had no comment as he was released on $1 million bail.

More women came forward a year ago to claim the married comedian drugged and raped them or touched them inappropriately in past decades.
On Wednesday, prosecution confirmed that they acted now because the statute of limitations runs out on the case in January.
The wild circumstances surrounding Bill Cosby’s pending sexual assault trial will make it one of the most high-profile celebrity crime cases in recent memory and could affect how the case is prosecuted.
Steele said new information came to light this year in the case, and that the victim was willing to cooperate. And so I continue and I go into the area that is somewhere between permission and rejection.
Cosby appeared briefly in a courtroom in Elkins Park, a suburb of Philadelphia, after the District Attorney’s Office charged him with “aggravated” sexual assault.
Miss Constand is gay and was in a relationship with a woman when the alleged attack took place. But she said the arrest of Cosby – who maintains his innocence in spite of the charges – will hopefully give courage to those who are afraid.
More than 50 women have already publicly claimed abuse by the pioneering African-American comedian, who attained his greatest fame for his role as the lovable family doctor and pater familias in the hit 1980s sitcom The Cosby Show.
According to the criminal complaint filed Wednesday, Constand “considered Cosby, thirty-seven years her senior, to be a mentor, and described instances in which he invited her to his home for dinner, invited her to restaurants, invited her to events, introduced her to people, and provided her with guidance and career advice”.
Victoria Valentino told ABC News Wednesday that she and the other women who have accused the comedian of misconduct are “elated and grateful” that he’s been charged. “They deserve justice and peace.” and, “If I believed in hell Bill Cosby would be going there”.
When Constand first met Cosby, she was the director of operations for Temple’s women’s basketball team.
In October, Allred said she grilled Cosby under oath for several hours in connection with the lawsuit, which accuses Cosby of sexual battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligent infliction of emotional distress.
