It’s been a very long year for comedian Bill Cosby. He has been accused by 50 women of sexual assault and rape over the past 3 decades. There have been countless headlines, television specials, and magazine articles written about the formerly beloved Cosby Show actor. While no formal charges had been made before, this marks change.

Cosby was arrested in Pennsylvania in relation to an 2004 incident involving a Temple University employee. Andrea Constand alleges that Cosby drugged and assaulted her while she worked as the manager for the women’s basketball team. Originally, investigators dropped her case, citing a lack of evidence. However; in light of new testimonies from other victims, the case has since been re-opened. Pennsylvania has a 12-year statue of limitations law, which is why he is still able to be charged. Cosby was held on $1,000,000 bail and released almost immediately after being booked on charges. If convicted, Cosby faces up to 10 years in prison.
