After dozens of allegations, Bill Cosby has finally been charged with sexual assault.

The fallen funny man has been accused of drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand at his home in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania in January 2004. The statute of limitations in the case was due to run out in January 2016.

Previously, the 78-year-old comedian said under oath that he'd had consensual sexual contact with Constand, who was the then-director of operations for Temple University's women's basketball team.

Montgomery County First Assistant District Attorney Kevin Steele announced the news at a press conference Wednesday morning, saying; "The evidence is strong and sufficient to proceed at this point."

The DA added, "A person in that state cannot give consent."

A decade ago, authorities in Montgomery County investigated the incident decided in February 2005, that they would not press criminal charges due to a lack of evidence. Constandt then sued Cosby for sexual abuse and the actor settled for undisclosed terms in 2006.

The former Cosby Show star is set to be arraigned on a felony charge of aggravated indecent assault at 4pm on Wednesday afternoon.

In the past year, more than 50 women have come forward to make allegations that they were drugged and sexually assaulted by Cosby, however this is the first time Cosby has faced criminal charges.

Two weeks ago, Cosby filed a defamation lawsuit against seven of the women who sued him for sexual assault for, "their malicious, opportunistic, false, and defamatory accusations of sexual misconduct against him."

UPDATE: Cosby appeared at the courthouse in Elkins Parks, Pennsylvania, for his arraignment. He did not enter a plea and posted a $1 million bail.
