*Bill Cosby has been charged with one felony account of aggravated indecent assault in the investigation of allegations made against him more than a decade ago in Pennsylvania.

A former Temple University employee told police the comedian drugged and violated her at his home near Philadelphia. Prosecutors in Pennsylvania announced the results of their investigation Wednesday morning.

A previous district attorney declined to charge Cosby in 2005.

The 78-year-old comedian previously said under oath that he had consensual sexual contact with the woman.

Prosecutors reopened the case as new evidence was unsealed in the woman’s related civil case and dozens of women came forward with similar accusations.

Cosby is expected to turn himself in for arraignment at around 4 p.m. EST today.

Officials laid out all of the details in a press conference this morning. Watch below:
