Bill Cosby faces a preliminary hearing today to determine if the criminal sex assault case in suburban Philadelphia will actually go to trial.

Prosecutors had declined to charge the comedian-actor over the 2005 complaint, but arrested him in December after his explosive deposition in the woman’s lawsuit became public.

In the testimony given in the deposition, Cosby was grilled about giving drugs and alcohol to women before sex, making secret payments to ex-lovers, and hosting Andrea Constand at his home.

Furthermore, it has been said that they knew each other through Temple University, where he was a trustee and she managed the women’s basketball team.
