No Charges Against Bill Cosby in New Jersey


Prosecutors in New Jersey have decided not to pursue rape charges against Bill Cosby…

Former actress Lili Bernard is one of dozens of women who came forward with accusations against Bill Cosby claiming he drugged and raped her after she made an appearance on The Cosby Show back in 1992.

This week Bill Cosby's lawyer confirms that prosecutors have decided not to pursue the case,
"As of this writing, the office of the Atlantic County prosecutor has terminated its investigation, closed its file and so notified Ms. Bernard's lawyer. There will be no charges filed."
"Whatever (Bernard) was claiming was far beyond the statute of limitations. That was my legal analysis and the analysis of the Atlantic County prosecutor."
Benard's lawyer Gloria Allred also released a statement,
"Three little words - statute of limitations. These words appear to be Mr. Cosby's three favourite words in the English language. He and his lawyers throw them out whenever they can, while Mr. Cosby continues to thumb his nose at the many alleged victims who have accused him of violating their trust and their bodies...
"There will come a day when one or more of his numerous alleged victims will finally be able to break through the barriers and force Mr. Cosby to be accountable... I look forward to that day and to be able to look Mr. Cosby in the eye and tell him that justice has no time limit!"
