78 year old actor Bill Cosby has been charged with sexual felony assault.

Bill’s reputation had been dragged through the mud in recent months following several accusation of sexual assaults.

TMZ reports,

The charges stem from Andrea Constand, a former Temple University employee, who claims in 2004 Cosby drugged and assaulted her while she was working as the operations manager for the women’s basketball team.

Montgomery County authorities investigated her claims, but eventually rejected the case … citing a lack of evidence.

Constand sued Cosby in 2005 and settled the case a year later.

District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman reopened the investigation this summer after more than 50 women came forward with similar accusations. The D.A. said the charges were based on new evidence.

The D.A. says Cosby gave Constand pills and wine that rendered her unable to consent to sexual contact with Cosby … something the D.A. says she rejected twice in the past.

Cosby faces 12 year jail term
