NORRISTOWN, Pa. –A prosecutor at Bill Cosby’s sexual assault retrial says he used his good-guy image as America’s Dad to gain unsuspecting women’s trust before knocking them out with powerful drugs and violating them.
Prosecutor Kristen Feden delivered closing arguments Tuesday, saying Cosby is “nothing like the image that he played on TV.”
She says Cosby led a secret life that ran counter to the wholesome image he projected as Dr. Cliff Huxtable on his top-rated 1980s sitcom.
Cosby is charged with drugging and sexually assaulting a woman at his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004. He says the encounter was consensual. His lawyers have called his chief accuser a con artist who falsely accused Cosby in hopes of a big payday.
Feden says Cosby is the true con artist.
The jury is expected to begin deliberating later Tuesday.
