A lead attorney representing Bill Cosby said the felony sexual assault charge filed against the comedian Wednesday is the result of "political football."
Monique Pressley told Savannah Guthrie on TODAY Thursday,
"My client is not guilty. And there will be no consideration on our part of any sort of arrangement."
Cosby was charged Wednesday with aggravated indecent assault, a felony of the second-degree. The embattled comedian is currently free on bail after having turned in his passport and paying 10 percent in cash of a $1 million bail.
A preliminary hearing was set for Jan. 14. If convicted of the felony charges, Cosby faces up to 10 years in jail and would have to register as a sex offender.
