former Temple University employee Andrea Constand. |
Bill Cosby’s agents are looking to hire a criminal defense lawyer as
prosecutors in Pennsylvania consider revisiting a 2005 sexual-assault
complaint.
Lawyer Edwin Jacobs said he was contacted by Cosby’s representatives about a Montgomery County investigation into allegations made by former Temple University employee Andrea Constand. Jacobs said he referred them to another lawyer. The Philadelphia Inquirer first reported Jacobs’ claim.
If charges are filed, it would be the first time the 78-year-old
comedian has faced criminal charges on allegations from the more than 50
women who have accused him of drugging and raping them.
The Montgomery County DA didn’t confirm an investigation. The previous
DA didn’t think there was enough evidence to charge Cosby. Constand’s
lawyer said she’ll cooperate if asked.
