Bill Cosby charged: 11 key takeaways from Andrea Constand’s complaint

Bill Cosby was arrested and charged Wednesday with sexually assaulting Andrea Constand, a former Temple University employee who considered Cosby a mentor.

In the complaint, which led to Cosby’s felony charges, Constand claims that Cosby invited her to his home, where the attack occurred, gave her drugs and sexually assaulted her.

Below  are the key takeaways from Constand’s complaint.

1. Constand considered Cosby a mentor and was not interested in an affair  with the comedian. “She never thought he would hit on her, especially since Cosby is much older than her father,” the criminal complaint said.

2. During there first dinner at his home, described as “intimate," nothing sexual happened. However, during a subsequent dinner Cosby allegedly unbuttoned her pants “out of the blue” and touched her. She leaned forward to stop him, the complaint read, he then left the room and she left his home.

3. Constand continued to be around Cosby, even attending events with him. On Jan. 15, 2004, Constand said Cosby gave her three blue pills after she told him she felt “drained” and “emotionally occupied,” the complaint read.
