(AP) – Prosecutors set to defend Bill Cosby’s sexual assault conviction in appeals court next month say the accusations from other women are no coincidence, but “the culmination of a decades-long pattern of behavior.” The 82-year-old comic actor is the first celebrity convicted and sent to prison in the #MeToo era. His appeal challenges the trial testimony of five other accusers. But Montgomery County prosecutors in a filing late Thursday say that’s allowed when it points to a “signature” crime.
