Bail was set at $1 million for comedian Bill Cosby, who was arraigned Wednesday afternoon at a courthouse in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania on felony sexual assault charges. After his arraignment, Cosby was taken to a nearby police precinct where he was fingerprinted and had a mugshot taken.

He has been charged with aggravated indecent assault for allegedly sexually assaulting a female acquaintance in his Pennsylvania home in 2004.

  1. $1 million? That’s a lot of Jello Pudding.

  2. This whole sordid saga is surreal. I’m glad to see an alleged victim starting to see some real action taken on her claim. That said, being such a fan of Fat Albert, watching Cosby’s tv specials with my father (he loved Cosby’s comedy acts) and his Huxtable character, etc., it’s just another in a long string of reminders that we are all human and we all have our own private lives … some much more sordid than others.

    sex, based only on his charm and humor, if he had simply ASKED, rather than using drugs.

  4. Camille brought the checkbook, right?

  5. America’s dad: serial rapist.
