Bill Cosby victim Andrea Constand to address court ahead of disgraced comedian's sentencing

ONLY Andrea Constand will address the court ahead Bill Cosby‘s sentencing for the 2004 sex assault of the former Temple basketball administrator, it was revealed on Monday.

It had remained unclear whether or not fellow Cosby accusers Heidi Thomas, Chelan Lasha, Janice Baker Kinney, supermodel Janice Dickinson and Maud Lise-Lotte Lublin would be allowed to make victim impact statements in addition to Constand prior to Cosby’s sentencing, reports the New York Post.

But according to a victim’s advocate with the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office, the women — who testified alongside Constand at Cosby’s retrial — will not speak at the hearing.

Cosby, 81, faces anywhere from zero to 30 years in prison for aggravated indecent assault in the 2004 drugging and sex attack of Constand. He was convicted in April.

The additional accusers will instead make their statements following Cosby’s sentence, in a separate building, according to the victim’s advocate. She would not say which accusers would be present.

Cosby arrived at court on Monday morning.

Lawyers Monday are expected to duke it out over whether or not Cosby will be designated a sexually violent predator, as a state board recommended.

He could be sentenced as early as later Monday.
