Cosby has been charged with three counts of felony aggravated indecent assault in a 2004 incident involving a former Temple University student. A criminal trial is scheduled to begin in June. He has been accused of drugging and raping more than 50 women. “He and his family, including his wife, Camille, are adamant that Bill won’t be able to convince a jury to let him off,” a source close to the Cosbys told The Post. “Cosby and his family believe he’ll be eligible for a sentence of just probation . . . and remove the threat of him dying in prison,” the source said.

June 16, 20179 yr I have not kept up with the case, but this is just one victim, correct? This does not mean he would be absolved from all other alleged crimes, correct? Just one victim, yes. It is my understanding that the statue of limitations has run out on the other alleged crimes.
