Prosecutors in the US have charged comedian Bill Cosby with aggravated indecent assault over an alleged incident in 2004. It is the first time Mr Cosby, 78, has been charged with any offence after months of accusations.
Andrea Constand says she was drugged then assaulted at the Philadelphia home of the former US television star.
Dozens of women have accused him of sexual assault, dating back to the 1970s, but he has denied wrongdoing.
Mr Cosby made no comment as he arrived at court to be formally charged. He did not enter a plea at the hearing where a judge set bail at $1m (£675,000).
