A female acquaintance of comedian Bill Cosby (news) has made an allegation against him that has prompted a police investigation in Pennsylvania, the entertainer’s attorney said Thursday.
Attorney Walter Phillips said he spoke Thursday with authorities in Pennsylvania who told him they have begun an investigation. He would not discuss the specifics of the allegation — which he called “utterly preposterous” — but said it amounts to, at the most, “inappropriate touching.”
No charges have been brought against Cosby. Phillips said the accuser, who lives in Canada, knows Cosby and the alleged incident in question happened about a year ago.
Police in Cheltenham Township, Pa., a Philadelphia suburb where Cosby has a home, declined to comment.
“I know the person making the accusation hasn’t been contacted by authorities,” Phillips said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press from his office in Philadelphia. “We are hopeful and optimistic that no charges will be brought forward.”
Dave Selby, a spokesman with the Durham Regional Police in Durham, Ontario, said police had passed on allegations from a woman there to authorities in Pennsylvania but declined to confirm whether they involved Cosby.
Cosby postponed a town hall meeting in Cleveland on Thursday and has postponed three upcoming shows in Florida, his publicist David Brokaw said. Brokaw would not say whether the postponements have anything to do with the recent allegation.

I find it kind of odd that this woman waits a year to say "Oh yea I think I remember him touching me a year ago."
I would find it more credible when its reported when or soon after it happens. The way it stands now is it looks like she is out to get money.
It just took a matter of time-someone somewhere wants to smear and discredit
Dr. William H. Cosby–why? I’ll tell you-Dr. Cosby is a financial contributer and benefactor to more thn one educational institution–Central State University– to be exact. Now that Central has their football team back( and they are back, I feed those motherfuckas–I know!!! There are people-I won’t say who- who DO NOT want this school to get funding for their program–one of their major benefactors is Dr.Cosby–tie him up in litigation and his money can’t reach Central State. Now I can be wrong, this isn’t somethimg factual, but this is something logical, and it make sense–PEACE!
Yo sugamilk you might be right son. Eva since cosby started speaking the truth about black people as a whole the wolves are out for him.
I think its some BS. A positive black always has someone attempting to bring him down. My prayers are with him and his family.
