We've seen the season finales of nighttime
soaps, Scandal and Empire. And we will speculate all summer long about
the cliffhangers. But the best soap opera drama may unfold in real life
and in real time.
Today, after many hearings, Pennsylvania Court
of Common Pleas Judge Elizabeth A. McHugh ruled that she would allow the
ten-year-old sexual assault charges against Bill Cosby, 78, to move
forward in a trial this summer. His next court appearance is scheduled
for July, 20, but no trial date has been set at this time.
Cosby is facing three counts of felony indecent assault from a 2004 case
involving Andrea Constand, an employee at Temple University, Cosby's
alma mater. She is one more than 50 women who have accused the comedian
of sexual misconduct, and is the first and only case to go to trial. If
he is found guilty he could serve ten years in prison.
