Cosby faces preliminary hearing this week on sex charge

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Attorney Gloria Allred said Friday, May 20, 2016, that Playboy founder Hugh Hefner gave sworn testimony at the Playboy Mansion on Wednesday in a case filed by Judy Huth claiming Bill Cosby sexually abused her at the mansion around 1974 when she was 15 years old.

PHILADELPHIA >> Bill Cosby faces a preliminary hearing Tuesday to determine if his criminal sex-assault case in suburban Philadelphia goes to trial.

Prosecutors had declined to charge the comedian-actor over the 2005 complaint, but arrested him in December after his explosive deposition in the woman’s lawsuit became public.

In the testimony given in that deposition, Cosby is grilled about giving drugs and alcohol to women before sex; making secret payments to ex-lovers; and hosting Andrea Constand at his home. They knew each other through Temple University, where he was a trustee and she managed the women’s basketball team.

    So why isn’t the media hounding Clinton for all his sexual assaults, and the wife for covering them up?

    What a shame, forever to be known as a sex offender. He won’t spend a day in jail for his crimes but his legacy and reputation are gone.For the rest of his life, everywhere he goes, people will have but one thought about him. For a guy like Cosby, that might almost be as bad as going to jail.
