NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
The victims of Bill Cosby’s alleged crimes no longer want to be a small part of the story, they are putting themselves at the forefront to ensure that we’re aware of their individual realities.
Andrea Constand claims she was assaulted by Cosby in 2004, and reported it to the police. She claimed Cosby, who she previously saw as a mentor, had drugged and assaulted her during a visit to his home.
The district attorney wouldn’t take the case to court as they didn’t think the evidence would lead to a conviction.
Constand launched a civil case in order and was given an offer to settle and an NDA. It was during this process she allegedly learnt that she was one of many women drugged and sexually assaulted by Cosby but the agreement meant she was unable to speak out about it.
