Mugshot Mania – Bill Cosby Criminally Charged in 2004 Sex-Assault Case, Freed on $1M Bail [PHOTOS/VIDEO]

Dec, 30 2015 | Written by ATLien
I think it’s safe to say that 2015 has been the worst year ever for Bill Cosby.

The embattled comedian posed for the mugshot above earlier today (December 30, 2015) as he faces the first criminal charge against him after a series of rape accusations that began mounting last year.

Earlier today, the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office announced it had filed an aggravated indecent assault charge against Cosby stemming from an alleged 2004 incident involving an ex-Temple University employee.

Cosby appeared in a suburban Philadelphia courtroom and was ordered to surrender his passport after posting 10 percent in cash of a $1 million bond.

More details + photos below…

The powerful entertainer arrived at magistrate court wearing a hooded gray sweater and holding a cane.

He stumbled slightly after exiting an SUV and was aided in his steps by two people. Cosby appeared upset but was speechless as he entered and later exited the building.

“Upon examination of all of the evidence, today we are able to seek justice on behalf of Mr. Cosby’s victim,” Montgomery County District Attorney-elect Kevin Steele said at an initial news conference announcing the charge.

Andrea Constand, the former Temple University employee, told police Cosby drugged and violated her at his home in Cheltenham Township, near Philadelphia, in January 2004. She was identified in the affidavit of probable cause against Cosby.

Constand, 42, was not specifically named as the victim during the news conference, but Steele said that the woman “has indicated that she is willing to cooperate with us going forward.”

The 78-year-old “Cosby Show” star previously said under oath that he had consensual sexual contact with Constand. But a former district attorney declined to charge Cosby in 2005.

The following year, Constand settled a civil lawsuit against Cosby on confidential terms.

Montgomery County prosecutors had until a January 2016 deadline to file criminal charges against Cosby because of the 12-year statute of limitations for felony sex assault.

More women came forward last year to claim the married comedian drugged and raped them or touched them inappropriately in past decades. The over 40 accusers have included aspiring actresses and supermodels Beverly Johnson and Janice Dickinson.

A preliminary hearing is set for Jan. 14, 2015.

If found guilty on the sexual assault charge, a second-degree felony, the once-beloved TV father figure faces up to 10 years in prison and would have to register as a sex offender.

Meanwhile… several murderous cops are getting off scott free. *sigh* Irony is so ironic.

What do you think of Cosby’s latest legal issues?

  What a waste of time and money. Hello media whoring lawyers. The entire case is circumstantial, unprovable allegations that are beyond their statute of limitations anyway. It was the 60’s/70’s, free love and experimenting with drugs. If he truly raped women, we’d see his unclaimed kids coming forward. Anyone see any? Nope! Let the poor man enjoy his golden years.

  Regardless of guilty cops walking the streets there are still people famous and non famous committing crimes. I was on the “innocent” Bill bandwagon of he can’t be charged bc of time passed. 2004, it makes me question his total innocence.

  So you willingly go to a man’s house who you say has made two sexual advances towards you and then you willingly accept and take pills and wine from said man and you woke up not knowing if something sexual happened, but it could have? I’m sorry but there are members of my family that I’m not accepting pills from. Who the hell takes pills, not knowing what they are? Wait, someone looking for money. Two words: REASONABLE DOUBT! If you willingly did all that then how do I know that you didn’t willingly have a sexual encounter with him??
  
  ATLchick3
  
  That’s exactly why I’m not completely buying her story!! It makes no sense! If he gave her a drink, and she didn’t know he put pills in it, then I’d somewhat understand! But you took some pills from him, to “take the edge off”? Really?! Bill isn’t innocent by any means, but these women seem to be setting theirselves up for a come up!

  It pisses me off how they just piled on this man literally 10 or more yrs later they only has 2 more days for statute of limitations to Be over this is about bringing down an empire plain and simple.
- Marie Brooks via Facebook
  
  Why would a grown educated woman take three little blue pills and your in a mans house! Then all of a sudden your legs are paralyzed. This is completely the most foolish thing I’ve ever heard. Now I don’t condone anyone forcing themselves on anybody but someone wasn’t thinking in this situation. Both of them were wrong. When he asked her how she felt then said take these you’ll feel better! I would have said hell no and I’m out. I just don’t believe he would’ve forced himself on her.
  
  rasta
  
  They took the pills because he was DR. HUXTABLE!!!!! The man’s wife, CLAIRE, was a lawyer!? It’s like how SAFE can you BE!!???

  I’m going to pull the Race card. If would have been a white man. With all these allegations against him at all the statue of limitations has passed he will not went to jail. Bill Corby is a Black man he doesn’t fit the mold. There are lots of white Actor who did worst and did not go to jail was not scrutinize and did not lose their legacy. The United States lives by a double standard.

  Bill Cosby raping women has absolutely nothing to do with murderous cops getting off scott free.
- Bobby Brown via Facebook
  
  Bill needs to tell them to kiss his ass! Nobody makes you take pills and wine. These whores needs a hobby besides whoring!
- Sharon Johnson via Facebook
  
  Im still trying to figure out….if this happened to all of these women….WHY WAIT SO LONG TO TELL SOMEONE…!!!!!!!!
  
  rasta
  
  Ask the grown men who were raped by grown men when they were boys. Ask Eddie longs crew. Ask the Pope. Hell, ask some of the women in your own family why they didn’t tell on uncle Joe or the pastor. Everybody wants justice or revenge at some time in their life. This man would by every means be mad as hell had someone done this to HIS daughters. Even one of his daughters had mental issues many years ago. And the one always walking with him and mom has a quirky smile for some reason. Quaaludes must have been one nasty high. Thank goodness for xanies and oxys. For pain and anxiety of course.

  I second that emotion! Let something happen to one of their own children, or family members and we’ll see if these people commenting on here will be making the same statements.

  Too old to be going to jail. If those bitches didn’t come out when this shit happened 20 dam years ago then u need to shut the fuck up. If he drugged your ass then how the hell u remember what happened. Thirsty hoes tryna get a dollar… Smh
  
  rasta
  
  I think this is the best time for him to go. Viagra probably aint working well for him. And he’s older and wiser now. Time to sit back and ponder his plight. Share wisdom with the young boys in prison some of that wisdom they wouldn’t listen to back then. He can regain that “LEGACY” by counciling the young bucks in jail. I’m sure’lthey’ll all have his back. Men stick together. Women don’t.

  You’re calling a raped victim a hoe? How’s that working out for you?

  Then they should just put some Quaaludes in his tea.

  I believe back in the day a lot of those women was trying to fuck their way up to fame. Now he may have drugged them but I believe all of them or some of them were getting high together back then. Its in the past. Why bring it up now? They need to leave that old man alone. I’m tired of this story. Time to move onto something new.

  AMERICAN JUSTICE DOES NOT PLAYING ON LEVEL GROUND WHEN IT COME TO PEOPLE OF COLOR!!! NEVER HAS NEVER WILL..

DONT GET TO HIGH ARE THINK YOU ARE UNTOUCHABLE, WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONT YOU ARE THOUGHT TO BE NO MORE TODAY THAN YOU WERE 40 TO 50 YEARS AGO.. YOU SEE, THIS IS A WHITE MANs WORLD, ALL BE IT STOLEN, BUILT, INVENTED, BY PEOPLE OF COLOR.JUDGEMENT DAY IS COMING AND THERE WILL BE WEEPING AND NASHING OF TEETH FOLK GONNA FIND OUT WHAT THEY DONT KNOW NOW..THEY ARE NOT SUPERIOR AND THERE IS BUT ONE!!! I FEEL FOR BILLS FAMILY..It’s late in life for this.But they have to know now money can’t buy you everything.They truly need Jesus..

  Of course he should be punished for his wrong doing, & I think it’s due to the introduction of DRUGS in these assaults,& the statue of limitations- but Women , I also think many of you should be punished for your repeated actions of going back on other occassion, & allowing this to occur over & over-yet, decades pass-until one person said, “I want let him do this to me & get away” -My quest-What happened did for you all to come forth right 40 yrs later-after the benefits ran out- Um-that’s Real Tea!

  You can’t rape the willing. Who takes pills and wine from somebody. Child bye

  These were all youg women at the time. He wasn’t wasting Quaaludes on grown pussy. And only three let him repeatedly sexually abuse them. Young women AND men make mistakes during this time in life. Look around at all the teens pushing strollers. They could have had a chance in life but likely will never rise above welfare checks and more babies by multi baby daddys. Men with the power Cosby had was intimidating to women and men. The first leading actor on a hit series “I Spy”, fine as hell, famed comedian, masters degrees at one of nations top colleges, and The Cosby Show made him untouchable. He never thought his youth and looks would fade. And I’m sure Camille was aware of his cheating but turned a blind eye because she had her ideal family life and lived in the envy of her social circles. She smiles cause she could care less, she didn’t cheat on him, she considers herself a victim too. She probably can’t wait til he’s off to the slammer sos she can go back to having her sip n sees.
  
  Well.well$well
  
  Not just pills but qualudes. Which are sedatives. If this was molly or something like that I’d agree with you. Why use a sleeping pill to get you in the mood? How can one consent to sex if their asleep? Ijs

  All of you have already convicted him so what kind of justice is that? This is a lynching on allegations and video of cops killing gets no indictments. It’s the justus system.
  
  rasta
  
  He convicted himself. He forgot his azz is Black. Just walked into court and told them “Yes. I got Quaaludes to drug young women for sex”. Dropped a couple of mill to courts, a few thousand to her and thought snitching on himself would be sealed for life. Yeah, big pimpin’ Willy. How’s that workin’ for ya.

  What does that mean? I am a Black ( I prefer black to African American), I love being black but black white blue or green Bill Cosby should pay! Yes all of the police officers who are killing our people need to be put under the jail, but that has nothing to do with what Bill Cosby has done to these women! He should be ashamed of himself. He was someone who we thought we could be proud of. I hope you receive a whole lot of pudding pops in jail Mr. Cosby! I said it!

Can we plz get together and show them that this type of shit won’t stand anymore, not when black kids are dying at the hands of white cops who don’t get paraded around the mass media as GUILTY. Just what the fuck are we gonna do? Just let them send the man to jail for bullshit? Fall in line, cause going at the man is off limits? Are all of us pussy? What can we get together and do, plz? Can we take it to the steps of the very courthouse they plan on his trial at? Can we boycott spending anymore money with these stores until he’s left the fuck alone? What. Cause all this talking shit is dumb. #freebillcosby
