Bill Cosby will not face criminal charges

It comes just one week after it was announced that he would be facing three felony charges of aggravated indecent assault

Bill Cosby will not face criminal charges in two alleged sexual assault incidents that occurred in California, Daily Mail reports.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office revealed on Wednesday that they were declining to file charges against the actor.

The first incident was made by a person described only as Jane Doe #1, who claimed she was forced to have sexual intercourse with Cosby in 1965, when she was 17 years old.

The second charge involved an 18-year-old woman who said she was sexually assaulted while attending a party with a friend at the Playboy Mansion in the summer of 2008.

After reviewing both cases, the DA’s office decided there was insufficient evidence to prove the crimes beyond a reasonable doubt, according to the court documents.

The news comes just one week after it was announced that Cosby would be facing three felony charges of aggravated indecent assault in Pennsylvania over a 2004 incident.
