"The victim came to consider him her mentor and her friend, he made two sexual advances to her that were rejected, on the evening in question he urged her to take pills and drink wine the effect of which left her unable to move or respond to his advances and he committed aggravated indecent assault on her," The evidence is strong and sufficient to proceed at this point," he added.
At the press conference, Steele confirmed that Cosby was due for arraignment in Elkins Park at approximately 4pm today.
