NORRISTOWN, Pa., May 24 (Reuters) - A Pennsylvania judge ordered
Bill Cosby to stand trial for sexual assault, ruling on Tuesday that there was
enough evidence for the entertainer to be criminally tried on charges that he
attacked a woman in 2004 after giving her drugs.
The ruling came after a preliminary hearing that Cosby, 78,
attended in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
Witnesses testified about statements that Cosby and his accuser,
Andrea Constand, gave to police in 2005 about the incident.
Cosby said “thank you” to the judge after she announced her
decision.
