NORRISTOWN, Pa. — The Latest on the Bill Cosby sexual assault retrial (all times local):
12:45 p.m.
A topless protester who jumped a barricade and got within a few feet of Bill Cosby has been identified as a 39-year-old New Jersey woman who appeared on several episodes of “The Cosby Show.”
Actress Nicolle Rochelle of Little Falls was charged with disorderly conduct for Monday’s protest. She ran in front of Cosby toward a bank of TV cameras as the comedian walked into a suburban Philadelphia courthouse for the start of his sexual assault retrial.
Written on her body were the names of more than 50 Cosby accusers, along with “Women’s Lives Matter.”
Rochelle was intercepted by sheriff’s deputies and led away in handcuffs. She was later released.
The European feminist group Femen claimed Rochelle as one of its own.
