Comedian Bill Cosby, who has been the subject of more than a dozen sex abuse allegations over the past two months, will not be charged in connection with a 1974 molestation claim, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office said on Tuesday (December 16).
Prosecutors concluded allegations that "The Cosby Show" star sexually molested a 15-year-old girl at the Playboy Mansion were too old and surpassed the state's statute of limitations for either a felony or misdemeanor charge.
"Given that 40 years have passed since the alleged incident, prosecution ... is declined due to the expiration of the statue of limitations," the official charge evaluation document states.
