"Prosecutors say the aggravated indecent assault charges stem in part from the fact that Andrea Constand was impaired that night at Cosby's house. They say she was frozen, could not move or shout out when he was sexually assaulting her. The two were friends, and she said he was a trusted friend who gave her three pills that she believed to be herbal medication. Cosby, in depositions unsealed this year, says they were Benadryl."
