NORRISTOWN, Pa. — Prosecutors set to defend Bill Cosby’s sexual assault conviction in appeals court next month say the accusations from other women are no coincidence, but “the culmination of a decades-long pattern of behaviour.”
The 82-year-old comic actor is the first celebrity convicted and sent to prison in the #MeToo era.
He is serving a three-to-10-year prison term for drugging and molesting a woman at his Philadelphia-area home in 2004.
Cosby’s lawyers are raising a long list of alleged trial errors on appeal. They include the judge’s decision to let five other accusers testify and references to Cosby’s possession of Quaaludes and other drugs.
