This arrives immediately after much more than 50 Ladies accused Cosby of sexual abuse spanning back again so far as the mid-nineteen sixties. (Cosby has regularly denied the promises). By the point the allegations started to emerge within the mid-2010s, the statute of restrictions had passed on many of the scenarios.

"When an unconditional charging decision is manufactured publicly and with the intent to induce action and reliance via the defendant, and once the defendant does so to his detriment (and in certain instances upon the recommendation of counsel), denying the defendant the benefit of that decision can be an affront to basic fairness, notably when it brings about a legal prosecution which was foregone for much more than a decade," the justices 슬롯 wrote.

Cosby has frequently denied the allegations and managed his innocence. In November 2014, he responded to an issue about the allegations and claimed: "I don't look at it."[132] In past interviews which were produced general public, Cosby declined to discuss the accusations.
