Bill Cosby trial: Accuser says she viewed him as a 'mentor' and felt 'frozen' during alleged sexual assault
The only woman to secure a trial against Bill Cosby for sexual assault has taken the stand – breaking her silence of more than 10 years and telling a jury that the once-celebrated entertainer drugged and assaulted her in 2004. “[He was] somebody I trusted as a mentor, and somewhat of an older figure to me,” Andrea Constand told the jurors assembled in the Montgomery County, Pennsylvania courtroom. When Mr Cosby started inviting her over for dinner, Ms Constand said, she thought he was trying to help her fit in after her recent move.
