We now know when disgraced comedian Bill Cosby will stand trial for his sex assault case as a judge set that date on Tuesday.
BBC News has noted that Cosby's tentative trial date is set for June 5, 2017.
As we reported in May, the 79-year-old was ordered to stand trial after he waved his right to a formal arraignment. The case against him involves a former Temple University employee named Andrea Constand, who said Cosby sexually assaulted her without her consent after he drugged her.
Constand is just one of dozens of women who have accused the former TV dad of engaging in similar conduct with them also while they were impaired.
Cosby's lawyers, however, have disputed these claims and outside the courthouse Tuesday said that the accusations against their client are of "crimes for unwitnessed events that allegedly occurred almost a half century earlier," adding that, "The time has come to shine a spotlight on the trampling of Mr. Cosby's civil rights."
Prosecutors are looking to get some of the actor's 50 or so accusers to testify at his trial.
