Comedian Bill Cosby on Tuesday sought to derail Pennsylvania
prosecutors’ effort to make him stand trial on sexual assault charges,
contending that a deal reached over a decade ago gave him immunity from
prosecution.

An entertainer who built a career on family-friendly comedy,
Cosby now faces accusations from more than 50 women that he sexually assaulted
them, often after plying them with drugs and alcohol, in a series of attacks
dating to the 1960s.

Prosecutors late last year charged Cosby, 78, with sexually
assaulting Andrea Constand, a former basketball coach at his alma mater Temple
University, just days before the statue of limitations to bring charges ran
out.

Constand’s allegations are the only ones to have resulted in
criminal charges against the actor, although Cosby also faces a series of civil
lawsuits related to alleged rapes. Cosby has long denied wrongdoing, and his lawyers have asked
the judge to dismiss the Constand case.
