The Fall of Bill Cosby

Posted by Joseph D. Lento | Oct 26, 2020 | 0 Comments

As fans, critics, and the in-betweeners of Bill Cosby continue to follow his sexual misconduct case proceedings, one can't help but get drawn into these fascinating proceedings, speculate, and draw unrealistic conclusions.

December 2015 saw the arrest of the former beloved actor and comedian sentenced to 3 to 10 years in prison for drugging a woman and sexually assaulting her at his home near Philadelphia in 2004. Countless other women came forward to give their harrowing accounts of sexual encounters with Cosby, 83, after Andrea Constand filed a suit against him.

He proceeded to pay them hefty sums of money to keep them quiet about the affairs as they would “cause irreparable harm to his illustrious career and image” once the public got wind of the flings.

So far, thanks partly to the #MeToo movement, he has been accused of sexual assault by 50 women. The similarity in statements with these women is that he offered them unknown drugs in exchange for sex and that he wired money to them without his wife's knowledge.

Cosby insists that the sexual encounter with Constand and his other accusers was consensual. Constand holds that Cosby drugged and molested her. The case with Constand has since been settled, but her accusation of Cosby opened doors to several others.

Get Help With A Sexual Misconduct Case

If you or someone you know is battling a similar legal predicament as Bill Cosby, then you need a voice to give you the justice that you deserve.

It is common for the public to abandon and pass judgment on sexual assault suspects even before they are convicted. Sexual assault lawyers believe that everybody is entitled to their legal rights regardless of the crime they may have committed, as the U.S. Constitution boldly states. This includes exemption from unusual and cruel punishment, the law's due process, and a speedy and fair trial governed by a jury of peers.

What Are Sexual Assault Crimes?

Sexual assault is a crime whereby an individual employs threatened or actual force to pressure another individual into engaging in sexual activity to which he or she does not agree to. These crimes can range from sexual groping to sexual harassment to attempted rape to battery/assault. Accusations of sexual assault can also lead to charges of federal sexual abuse charges.

Why Should I Hire A Sexual Crimes Lawyer?

You or your loved one may or not have committed the crime you stand accused of. By summoning the strength to put the unfortunate event behind you and clear your name, you will be taking a significant step towards moving on with your life.

You or your loved one stand the best chance of successfully resolving your case by hiring a competent lawyer with an unmatched understanding of how the legal system works.

Hire A Qualified And Aggressive Sexual Assault Attorney

In many instances, the outcome of your case may hinge more on having the right sexual crime lawyer rather than the case law in your favor.

Therefore, it is essential to work with a defense team with proven results, expertise, and experience to ensure that justice is legally served. Because of strict sentencing guidelines and the requirement to register as a sex offender, it is critical that you aggressively fight this charge.

To stand the best chance of obtaining a reduction of your sentence, a dismissal of your case, or an acquittal, hire a sexual assault lawyer who will aggressively and passionately represent you in court.
