On the first day of disgraced comedian Bill Cosby’s retrial on indecent sexual assault charges Monday, a topless female protester with names of his accusers scrawled on her body charged the 80-year-old as he walked into Montgomery County Courthouse.
The female protester was shouting, “Women’s Lives Matter,” which was also written on her body, the woman hopped the fence and ran topless toward Cosby.
Police officers nearby guarding the area were able to tackle the woman into the bushes before she could intercept Cosby.

Cosby stands charged with the alleged indecent sexual assault of former Temple employee Andrea Constand in his Elkins Park mansion in 2004.
Montco prosecutors investigated and chose not pursue Constand’s claim when first filed with law enforcement. In 2014, new Montco DA Kevin Steele reopened the case and charged Cosby.
At his first trial last year, the jury deadlocked.
