Once known as America’s favorite dad, Bill Cosby was charged with sexually assaulting a Temple University associate, 37 years his junior, more than a decade ago at his home in Cheltenham, Pennsylvania. The 78-year-old comedian pleaded not guilty.
It’s the first time Cosby has faced a criminal charge following years of complaints from dozens of women who said he drugged and sexually assaulted them.
