Court will hear how Bill Cosby commenced ‘flirtation’

Bill Cosby’s attraction to Andrea Constand began the moment he spied her across a Temple University gym in about 2002. The flirting — some would say grooming — began almost immediately.

When Constand, a Temple women’s basketball staffer, mentioned that her back was bothering her, the 66-year-old comedian offered his “layman’s” fix in the women’s locker room.

“It’s one where she gets on my back with her back and her arms come under mine and I grab her and I say ‘now you relax’,” Cosby said in a 2005 deposition.
