Bill Cosby was arraigned and released after posting $1 million bail. The former “Cosby Show” star will be back in court for a preliminary hearing on January 14.
As most fans know, Bill Cosby has been facing a ton of backlash since multiple women have come forward with claims that he’s drugged and sexually assaulted them over the years. If Cosby begins to be charged with even half of these crimes then it will surely be a media circus surrounding the 78-year-old actor.
