Im jeff glor with Kristine Johnson of our new york station wcbs. Charlie rose, norah odonnell, and gayle king are off today. Legal troubles have caught up with bill cosby. Hes free on bail in a Sexual Assault case. The criminal charges are the first against the man once known as americas dad. This year, dozens of women accused him of past sexual misconduct. Theresa duncan is in elkins park, pennsylvania, just north of philadelphia. Good morning. Reporter good morning. The arraignment lasted less than ten minutes. Bill cosby appeared composed while he was in that courtroom. He paid the required 10 of his 1 million bail and was ordered to turn over his passport. With two attorneys at his side, bill cosby carefully stepped out of a black suv wednesday to Face Criminal Charges of Sexual Assault. Mr. Cosby, do you want to say anything . Reporter gripping a cane, the 78yearold stumbled on the curb as he was led into the courthouse in elkins park, pennsylvania. The accusations date back to 2004, when Andrea Constand says cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her in his pennsylvania home. According to the 23page complaint, cosby gave her three blue pills he claimed were herbal, and within a half hour, constand says she experienced blurred vision and difficulty speaking. Mr. Cosby urged her to take pills that he provided to her and to drink wine. The effect of which rendered her unable to move or respond to his advances. Reporter constand stated she awoke the next morning partially undressed. Cosby gave her a muffin, walked to the front door, opened it, and said, all right. At the time the District Attorney said there was not enough evidence to charge cosby. In 2005, constand filed a civil suit, which was later settled privately. But this past july, investigators decided to reopen the case after a judge unsealed portions of depositions in which cosby admitted to giving drugs to at least one woman. Constands attorney asked cosby, when you got the quaaludes, was it in your mind that you were going to use these quaaludes for young women that you wanted to have sex with . Cosby replied, yes. He later said he misunderstood the question. Monique presley is cosbys attorney. Its sad for his legal team, for his family, that he would be dragged into this. Were 12 years after an alleged assault that was fully investigated. Reporter for Victoria Valentine k valentino, one of 50 women who have accused cosby, its validation. It means people have been link listening to us and hearing us. Reporter cosby only shook his head at reporters as he left the courthouse yesterday. With cameras and helicopters following his every move, he was taken to a local jail to be fingerprinted and booked. Hes due back in court for a preliminary hearing next month. If convicted, he could spend up to ten years in prison and face a 25,000 fine. Thank you very much. Cosbys attorney Monique Presley is with us from washington. Ms. Presley, thank you for being with us. Good morning. What was your clients reaction when you heard he was being charged . This didnt come as any surprise to us. Weve been cooperating with the Montgomery County d. A. s office. They are saying theres significant evidence in this testimony that was unsealed by the judge. Everyone can see that testimony. Your network has had it available as well as all others. You know that this was deposition testimony that was the subject of a confidentiality agreement and what is supposed to be remain sealed, not just the portions that were improperly released based on the judges decision, judge robreno. But also the information illegally gained through the release of a Court Reporter to a media entity, the entire deposition is out there. There is nothing in that deposition where mr. Cosby admits to committing any crime. In fact he denies it vehemently and speaks specifically with respect to this incident. However he does admit to buying quaaludes to use on women, obtaining these im jeff glorh obt women. How are you going to defend that in court . Why would we have to defend that in court . Thats an admission that he makes about offering quaaludes to two specific individuals in the 1970s. Ten years ago, quaaludes werent even being made anymore. They are literally off the market. Its not something that could even be obtained. Im certain even this hungry d. A. Isnt going to assert that mr. Cosby has hiding in his medicine cabinet quaaludes that are 30, 40, 50 years old, and that thats what was offered to ms. Constand. More than 50 women have accused your client of similar acts regarding Sexual Assault. Thats incorrect. More than 50 women have not accused my client of similar acts. Its easy for people like yourselves to say that more than 50 women have done that. But that is not true. Well, 50 women have come forward and publicly stated through the press that mr. Cosby allegedly sexually assaulted them, many of them have the exact same stories. How do you plan to defend that in court or will you try to stop that from being admissible in court . It certainly isnt admissible in court. But again, 50 women have not come forward and said they had the exact same story. Someone saying that he rubbed against them or the front of their breasts at a party is not the same thing as saying that they were in an ongoing consensual adult relationship and then one evening, after multiple interactions, i believe i was drugged. Those arent the same thing. What this d. A. Has to do is prove the facts of this case. But ms. Presley, as you know, the prosecutors could persuade the judge to allow evidence from other cases into this one. You have to be prepared for that. There arent previous other cases. What you mean there are allegations, as you know. And a wide range of allegations, as you know. Yes, and those are all allegations for which theres no corroborating evidence, allegations from decades ago, allegations from women who never bothered to go in and make a complaint to police. And in most instances claimed they didnt tell another living soul. If a judge chooses to consider from a prosecutor such testimony, then we will deal with that at that time. He took a cane with him to court. Is his Current Health status part of your defense . His Current Health status doesnt have anything to do with the defense for this unsubstantiated charge. Hes a 78yearold blind man who they have chosen to charge. Thats not a defense to a crime. Thats just a fact. Monique presley, thank you very much. The mother of the texas teenager involved in the socalled affluenza case is back in the u. S. Tonya couch landed at los angeles airport overnight. Shes accused of fleeing the country with her fugitive son. Ethan couch was on probation after a deadly drunk driving crash. Hes still in mexico. Ben tracy is at l. A. X. With a look at the legal maneuvers delaying his return. Ben, good morning. Reporter good morning. Mother and son were separated in new mexico when tonya couch was deported back to the united states. She arrived here at l. A. X. Early this morning. When she did, she had plenty of company. Handcuffed and flanked by u. S. Marshals, tonya couch was escorted out of Los Angeles International airport early this morning. Her son ethan left behind in mexico. Video from cbs dallas station ktvt appears to show the 18yearold clad in a dark baseball hat and coat, being moved to a larger immigration facility in mexico city. On monday, mexican immigration officials detained the pair, calling for their deportation. According to u. S. Marshals, the mother and son obtained local representation, who filed a protection order called an appeal. Its a request that the court issue an order to stop the proceedings. Reporter mexican officials deported tonya couch for being in the country illegally, while ethan is going through a more complicated deportation process that could keep him there for several weeks. The couches have legal counsel. It seems to me if they wanted to, they could pay as much money as they wanted to to drag this out. Reporter Surveillance Video captured the pair in Puerto Vallarta before they were taken into custody. Couch filled four people in a young driving accident in 2013. His defense argued that he suffered from the controversial condition affluenza, claiming his lack of responsibility was a result of his privileged up bringing. A judge sentenced him to probation. Hes expected to serve time in a juvenile city until april, when he turns 19. Welcome to juvenile law in texas. It doesnt make sense. Reporter ethan couch will likely remain in mexico for at least a couple of weeks. He was just granted an injunction against his deportation, which will allow him to remain in that country. Ben, thank you very much. Parts of the midwest are under mandatory evacuation orders this morning ahead of historic flooding.
