Cosby seeks ‘special treatment’

-

Prosecutor­s pursuing sex-assault charges against Bill Cosby say the entertaine­r is seeking “special treatment” by trying to have the case thrown out even before the first evidence hearing.

In a response Wednesday to Cosby’s motion to dismiss the case, Montgomery County prosecutor­s say that there was never a valid agreement not to prosecute him.

District Attorney Kevin Steele says he can prove that Cosby drugged and molested a woman at his Cheltenham home in 2004. He is citing new evidence from a deposition Cosby gave in the woman’s civil lawsuit and similar accusation­s from dozens of other women.
