Looks like Bill Cosby is in more hot water.  He's been charged with sexual assault in Pennsylvania.

I saw that. I still don't know why these women waited so long to file charges. I know some will say they were afraid, he had power, etc. but he was a lot more famous then than now

From what I read, these particular charges were filed because the statute of limitations would have been up in early 2016.

Okay, you would think if it was a felony that there wouldn't be a statute of limitations. I know in Kentucky there isn't and some other states they don't.

Here is the affidavit of probable cause if anyone cares to read it.

12 years post incident? Wow. It never ceases to astound me just how long they will extend said limitations. . .

Not that I don't believe the man was/is likely a criminal, but what real evidence do they have besides the he said-she said ? DNA? Other forensics? Film?

Given that over a decade has passed since this incident for which he is being charged, it seems more likely that he will be acquitted rather than convicted. . .

Then again, stranger things have happened, and continue to happen every single day. . .

Yeah, but this is a criminal charge.  There aren't dollars to be had by the prosecutors.

Exactly, prosecutors are paid by the state so they wouldn't exactly get the money except for the victims. I think it is crazy that after a decade they choose to do this.

Yes, but apparently that's not the only reason. From what I've heard from constant coverage here today, the young woman, who was employed at Temple University -- where Cosby was reportedly her mentor -- did press charges after the alleged assault occurred, but the prosecuting attorney at the time decided not to press charges.

I read the affidavit also. I wonder if it took investigators a decade to research and uncover the truth or that prosecutors were afraid of Cosy's fame and popularity. I know sometimes it takes time to uncover the facts in a high profile case.

No matter the statue of limitations, folks tryin' to get a few $, whatevever.... Ole' Bill may have to atone for some of his sins. Heck you know the old sayin' "where there's a considerable amount of smoke there's gotta be a dadburn fire".
