Bill Cosby to face November retrial in sexual assault case
Actor Bill Cosby will face a second trial on sexual assault charges in November. Judge Steven O'Neill in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, set the retrial date for Nov. 6.

Cosby is accused of drugging and sexually assaulting former Temple University employee Andrea Constand, though dozens of women have come forward to allege Cosby drugged and assaulted them.
