Bill Cosby has been hit with assault charges stemming from an
alleged 2004 incident in Pennsylvania, After a brief court appearance, the 78-year-old comedian was released on
$1 million bail and the judge wished him "good luck." Following court,
Cosby was processed and had his mug shot taken at the Cheltenham Police
Department.
Cosby entered the courtroom in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania, around 2:30
p.m., walking arm-in-arm with his legal team. He is set to appear in
court on Jan. 14 and was released on $1 million bond.
the comedian's attorneys called the criminal case against him "unjustified" and vowed to fight it.
"The
charge by the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office came as no
surprise, filed 12 years after the alleged incident and coming on the
heels of a hotly contested election for this county's DA during which
this case was made the focal point," Cosby's attorneys said in a
statement released after his arraignment Wednesday. "Make no mistake, we
intend to mount a vigorous defense against this unjustified charge and
we expect that Mr. Cosby will be exonerated by a court of law."
