It’s been over a year since many women have claimed that Bill Cosby drugged and raped them and yet there were no charges brought against the actor. That all changed today when Montgomery County, Pa’s district attorney’s office announced that they are charging him with a crime relating to a woman’s complaint filed against him. DA Kevin Steele said he was charged him with aggravated indecent assault relating to an incident that happened back in 2004. According to the PBS Newshour, “On the night in question, Cosby is alleged to have given the woman, who was associated with the Temple University women’s basketball program, wine and pills that rendered her unable to move, at which time he sexually assaulted her.”
The statute of limitation is 12 years there, so they just had a few months before time ran out.
The actor will be arraigned later today.
It will be interesting to see if he will be facing more charges from other districts, now that one of the district attorney’s charged him with the alleged crime.
UPDATE: Bill Cosby was arraigned today and bail was set at $1,000,000. He made bail and also turned over his passport as part of the arraignment. His next day in court is January 14th.
When I was kid I remember seeing Kim Richards on Different Strokes and a movie called Tuff Turf. There was something about her I thought was cool. I think because she was such a Tom Boy.
Well as we know recently she had a lot of run ins with the law and yesterday she was arrested at a Target in Van Nuys on suspicion of stealing around $600 worth of merchandise according to KTLA. Not to make light of the situation, but who knew there was $600 worth of stuff to steal from Target.
But back to being serious, I hope she gets the help she needs.
Jimmy Fallon is the swellest guy in late night television, and that means you rarely ever hear him tell a dirty joke. Well, yesterday on The Tonight Show, he told not one but two naughty jokes.
The NBC late night host played Brainstorm with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Basically The Terminator would say a word or phrase, and Jimmy would go into his brain and tell us what he meant. There were a lot laughs at the beginning of their segment, but towards the end is when it got really good. When Arnuld said, “On top of old smokey,” Fallon replied with, “Where did Willie Nelson’s wife spend their honeymoon.” That was really risky for him, but he topped that one better than Willie Nelson’s wife topped Old Smokey on their honeymoon. Last up was “Die Hard,” to which Jimmy said, “What happens if you overdose on Viagra.”
I like this side of him and I hope we see it more often!
Ottawa Police arrested a man who has been exposing himself at a local park there for two weeks. So why would I post that local crime story that happened in Canada? The guy’s name is Donald Popadick. That’s right, Popadick. I guess if you spend 62 years of your life with that last name, eventually you are going to have to live up to it. You know, like several centuries ago when people were named after their professions like GoldSmith, Baker, Miller and Fisher to name a few. I mean, what else can you do with a name like that? Besides get a name change?
David Cassidy was arrested early this morning in Schodack, NY on the suspicion of Driving While Intoxicated. According to Times Union, he was pulled over at DWI checkpoint and was arrested when Officer Tom Jones suspected he might’ve been driving under the influence. The article says that is BAC was a .10.
The Partridge Family star was charged with a felony DWI because of a prior conviction. He was arrested on November 3, 2010 for DWI and plead no contest to that crime in February 2011. His license was suspended for 6 months and he completed a year of probation for that crime.
If I were him, I would tell the judge he just read, Shirley Jones, his stepmother’s book that details her exploitative love life with his dad. If that doesn’t cause someone to drink, I don’t know what will.
But in all seriousness, I hope he gets the help he needs.
