district attorney furman. with me is chief john norris and chief sam gallon. we are here to announce today charges that have just been filed against william henry cosby. these charges stem from a sexual assault that took place on an evening in early 2004 at mr. cosby's home in montgomery county. mr. cosby is charged with aggravated indecent assault. this is a felony of the first degree. mr. cosby's attorney has been notified of the charges and he is expect today be arraigned later this afternoon. when we have a specific time for that, we'll let you know. and that's going to be at the magisterial district judge's office in elkins park. the charges today are filed as a

came to light in july of 2015. statute of limitations in this type of case is 12 years. after determining that the statute of limitations regarding potential criminal offenses had not yet expired, the investigation was reopened. chief norris and the township police, montgomery county detectives and prosecutors from our office have reviewed the initial investigation. resbrer viewed some witnesses and examined information from the case and alleged victims. the evidence showed mr. cosby established a relationship with the victim after meeting her through her work associated with temple university's women's basketball program. through the course of their association, the victim came to consider mr. cosby her mentor and her friend. on two other occasions before

criminal charge in this case, mr. cosby made two sexual advances at her that were rejected. on the evening in question, mr. cosby urged her to take pills that he provided to her and to drink wine. the effect of which rendered her unable to move, respond to his advances and he committed aggravated indecent assault upon her. now, prosecutors job is to follow the evidence wherever it takes us. and sometimes that means whenever it comes to light. when u.s. federal judge edward rabrano unsealed legal filings that contained references to the civil deposition and we learned about allegations from other victims under similar circumstances, reopening this case was not a question.

enforcement officers with a sworn obligation to uphold our constitutions and to uphold the law. today after examination of all the evidence, we are able to seek justice on behalf of the victim. now, going forward and we ask that anyone that has any information regarding any similar incidents with mr. cosby come forward, we ask them to contact either the montgomery county detective bureau or the township police. at this point i will take questions. >> do you know anything about the legality of the deposition? as evidence in this case? i know there was a question about that early on. >> well, i can't at this point. you know, there's going to be motion that is will be filed in

litigated. i can't give you a determination of how that is going to result. but the depositions were released by the federal court judge and we examined them and examined other evidence that we were able to obtain in this case. other questions? [ inaudible ] >> the arraignment will be in elkins park and we don't have a specific time. ian participate it may be around 4:00 p.m. today. >> he will physically be there? >> he has to appear at an arraignment before magisterial district judge mccue and he's be arraigned by her. it's her jurisdiction. >> have you had any contact of any of the other accusers potentially testifying in this case? >> i'm not going to get into specifics of the investigation at this point but it's outlined

cause that there are other alleged victims and we are examining evidence in that and again, as to the prior question, it's going to be looked at in terms of -- >> there you have it. a major head line out of pennsylvania. the legendary comedian bill cosby will be charged with aggravated indecent assault. he will be arraigned later today they say. they're accusing him of drugging and sexually assaulting a young woman back in 2004. again, bill cosby charged with a felony in pennsylvania. it is as i said a major headline and one we'll be following throughout the morning here on "good morning america" as we go live in the west and throughout the day on abc news and abcnews.com. we want to switch away from that

your local weather here it i thank you for that. we want to bring in abc news legal analyst dan abrams. you heard the charges have been announced coming out of philadelphia, the philadelphia area against the comedian bill cosby. i know it's early but how strong does this case look against him? >> well, this is a stunning development because this is an allegation they investigated in the past. investigation. now they're reopening it based on this new information being

headlines coming up in one half hour

. mr. cosby is charged with aggravated indecent assault. degree. mr. cosby's attorney has been notified of the charges and he

later this afternoon. when we have -- >> welcome back to "gma." you heard it right there from a prosecutor in pennsylvania. it's breaking news for our viewers in the west. prosecutors announcing they are charging bill cosby with aggravated indecent assault. that's a felony. this is in connection with the andrea constat case. she was a former temple university employee. she alleged he assaulted her 12 years ago. since then dozens of woman have come out to accuse cosby of sexual abuse in the past year. the comedian has denied those claims. 78-year-old will be arraigned later this afternoon. again, a major headline out of pennsylvania. one we will continue to cover all through the day right here on abc news and abcnews.com. first in this half hour we want to start with new details about the so called affluenza teen and what he and his mother were doing on the run.

vallarta after a three week manhunt and a new video is getting a look at how they spent their time. abc news's matt gutman is there with the latest. the couches seemed to be living life on a budget staying in that shabby hotel behind me shopping at the local groceries but what's so striking about that video is how at ease they seem to be in their new lives as fugitives unaware that just two hours after that video was shot, the mexican police would swoop down on them. this morning the first images of them on the run. in this exclusive video you see ethan couch entering this butcher shop across the street from his shabby rental. the formerly blond teen's hair dyed black. hat backwards seems at ease talking to the butcher paying for chicken in pesos and leaving with a little wave. two days earlier his mother in that tank top tries to pay for food with u.s. dollars. she chats with the butcher who

the texan. about two hours after this surveillance video couch is shot monday he is arrested. you see him cuffed and escorted to a cruiser and then up close in police custody. >> after 11 days of the u.s. marshal service tracking down ethan couch we can say he's in custody. >> reporter: couch and his mother planned to disappear shortly after this video allegedly showing couch violating parole at a boozy party went viral on twitter but before they left -- >> they had a going away party. >> reporter: taking tonya's truck to the border. >> our understanding they drove the truck down there. >> reporter: investigators confirming to abc news ethan and tonya couch used burner phones to elude detection and checked into this beachside resort los tules and a worker spotted them and tipped off authorities and tracked them to this $80 a month place in old town puerto

they ate in the back. ahead the legal process takes over for the texas teen who pled guilty in 2013 to driving drunk and killing four people. couch was sentenced to probation after his legal team argued he suffered from affluenza, saying he was too spoiled to know right from wrong. authorities also hoping to charge couch's mother. >> we expect to charge her with hindering apprehension carrying two to ten years in penitentiary. i think she deserves to be incarcerated. >> reporter: prosecutors may get their shot pretty soon. tanya couch will be deported back to the u.s. as early as tonight and could face a judge. ethan couch, paperwork has been filed to try to delay his deportation deportation. no word on whether that's successful. david. >> matt gutman, thanks. we're joined by one of the lead investigators on the case from the beginning. tarrant county detective dee

where is this teenager and the mother right now? huh -- how soon will they be hauled back to the u.s.? >> they are still in mexico in the custody of the mexican authorities. we expect within the next 24 to 48 hours to have them back here in texas. >> you have reported that the teenager and his mother had a sort of going away party before they even left. so i'm curious about the punishment now. this teenager had only ever faced probation for drunk driving killing four. what kind of punishment does he face now? >> what we're hoping is that he will be placed into an adult court system and placed on an adult probation system which will be very, very strict and very intensive. much different than what he was under the juvenile system. probably the way it looks under the law as messed up as it is he'll probably only be able to sentence him to 120 days actually in jail under the old case but then he would be able to put him under very, very intense supervision on probation, much different than he was before. >> the potential for 120 days

meantime, the mom could face more jail time than the son. >> that's true. the case we're filing against her for assisting him and hindering an apprehension in texas is a felony punishable by two to ten years in the penitentiary so she could conceivably do actual prison time and we certainly will push to have her prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. >> you found them in puerto vallarta. what kind of message does this send to that community where four families are remembering their loved ones killed in that drunk driving incident. >> yeah, i mean it's just terrible for those families. they've all been victimized all over again. they just had to all spend christmas without a loved one because of his irresponsible activities and so i know from talking to some of the family members they were very hopeful that we would catch him and bring him back to texas and let him face justice and such that it is and i know they're very relieved he's in custody and hopefully on the way back to texas soil. >> all right, sheriff anderson with us from texas this morning,

>> my pleasure. and there is much more ahead this morning. coming up, the other case, the "glee" star known for playing the bad boy in the series arrested in real life. what police say they found in his home. the battle of the cell phone

university claims cosby drugged and then violated her at his home 12 years ago. she says ozcosby was her mentor. the statute of limitations expires next month. >> the evidence shows mr. cosby established a relationship with the victim. mr. cosby made two sexual advances at her. that were rejected. on the evening in question mr. cosby urged her to take pills that he provided to her and to drink wine. the effect of which rendered her unable to move. respond to addhis advances and he committed aggravated indecent assault upon her. >> cosby is expected to be arraigned later this afternoon. let's go to abc's legal analyst dave abrams.

reaction. to this stunning development. >> it is stunning. because this is a case they investigated and decided not to file charges in in the past. now he's charged with a crime where he could face up to 10 years behind bars. what changed? the first of all, you have got his own statements in connection with this civil case, not criminal coming out. so for the first time the authorities see what bill cosby said. they're going to try and use that against him. second you have got all these other alleged victims and the prosecutors believe they will be able to call some of them to the witness stand. so you have got two big new developments that led to this charge.

going to be allowed to bring these other accusers to the witness stand in this case? >> well, that's right. there's going to be a fight over that because the legal standard that they're going to have to overcome is does this show this was a pattern. you can't just introduce other alleged victims just to show he's a bad guy who does bad things. you have to be able to show that this was a pattern of conduct. that's going to be a huge legal fight. there's also going to be a huge legal fight about whether to allow in his statement in the civil case which was supposed to be sealed and confidential. >> dan, just to clarify, this was a case -- the allegations stem from an incident in 2004. local prosecutors investigated in twefnt 04 and '05 and declined to bring charges. it is 12 years later after we have seen all these other women step forward that they're moving on this case? >> that's right. if you look at the specific

specific allegation under pennsylvania law that makes it clear they're using bill cosby's own statement about what he said happened. it's a very specific allegation there and as a result, they have got that new piece of evidence. they feel they're armed now with something they never had before that allows them to bring this charge only a month before the statute of limitations. >> dan, thank you. let's go to sara for the morning menu. let's take a look at what's ahead on the "gma morning menu." carrie fisher fights back. the "star wars" actress getting backlash for aging, but she's firing back with force. and facebook's sheryl sandberg opening up with a moving message overnight and a new year's resolution that can inspire us all. and these amazing women lost hundreds of pounds inspired by their families to stay fit. all that and how dogs wear pants. you got to see how they wear them. a big question that has the

"please stop debating about whether or not i aged well. it hurts all three of my feelings. my body hasn't aged as well as i have." >> half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder. >> never one to shy away from touchy subjects, fisher opened up to me earlier this month about slimming down to reprise the role of leia in "the force awakens." you actually physically transformed for this role. >> yes, i did. they told me to lose weight. they told me to lose weight in the first one too. was that that big of a deal? no, they want to hire three-fourths of me. >> even admitting to "good housekeeping" uk for women in hollywood, looks do matter saying "i'm in a business where the only thing that matters is weight and appearance. that is so messed up." >> she's been vocal in saying hollywood is harder on aging actresses than it is on actors. >> i don't know who you are or where you came from.

you, okay? >> this morning many joining fisher in the fight against online haters posting comments like, "you were my hero as a girl and now as a woman." and "carrie fisher is like a fine wine, she only gets better with age." and i think the world needs more carrie fishers. >> absolutely. >> she just says exactly what she thinks and it's just a great attitude to have and i hope more people follow in her footsteps. >> i thought she looked great in the movie. >> she looked great. >> they should want to hire more than three-quarters of her. >> although it's still a great line. >> it's her mind that they want to hire. she is brilliant and funny and funky. >> to someone else we love here from facebook, sheryl sandberg who is opening up about her life-changing year in a new post overnight revealing how she's coping with the sudden loss of her husband. we reported on it here, but she's got quite a vision of a brighter 2016, and abc's mara schiavocampo is here with that story. mara. >> david, good morning.

>> reporter: in the post sandberg opens up about the painful loss writing, "when i first lost dave i felt like overwhelmed with just getting through each day." but sandberg says that dark time ushered in some brighter moments mainly from the support of her lifelong girlfriends. "they did not just hold me as i cried, they cried with me. because of them, i know i am never alone." sandberg calls this kind of group a lean in circle. >> it's like a book club with a cause coming together to decide what their dreams are and give each other advice all the way there. >> reporter: in the post she encourages people everywhere to encourage us, believe in us and remind us that we are not alone. for women this kind of support can be especially important in now sandberg is looking ahead for the first time sharing her new year's resolution to write

day, "joy and the ability to appreciate the gift of life in a way i never did before." a new year and a new outlook. and sandberg says there are now more than 25,000 lean in circles in more than 120 countries and that 80% of those involved say the circle helped them tackle a new challenge. she says it's important for women because we're more prone to self-doubts and sometimes you need your girlfriends to say, you can do it and they really rallied around her this year. >> it's a huge lesson i learned when i went through my own struggles, sara among my circle of girlfriends. >> i'm in her lean in circle. >> absolutely. i can't imagine what i would have done without them. i'm so happy she's vocalizing that. >> and cry with them. >> your boyfriends can be in the circle too. dan and me. invite us any time. >> may be invited. >> we love sheryl. great to see sheryl doing so well. another great way to jumpstart your 2016.

vindication. this has concerned me for a number of years. with the internet divided keller then tracked down the creator of the drawing who believes dogs don't have arms, so their pants should technically go on every leg. i can't believe i'm reading this and raises a good point and quite the conundrum.we have pups modeling pants and we want you to have the final say on this doggone debate. head to our website at goodmorningamerica.com at yahoo. come here, gatsby. give me lovies. you hurt my feelings. come on. >> those are like grandpa pajama pants. >> they looked like scrubs before. i feel like this might be doctor gatsby. what do you think? four legs or two legs? >> how about no legs? that's what i think. >> i think maybe a onesie. >> i won't be forced to choose. no way. >> the pants are coming off. >> they keep falling down. oh, look, see. >> we should show everybody at home, the tail. see the hole there. >> as long as they can do their business. >> how?

you have the stuff around the house already. i love this idea this is using dish detergent and laundry containers. so this is a beverage dispenser and use that around holidays for ice tea, why not put it into action and make it happen with your liquid detergent for dish washing, excuse me, for laundry and you can see where you're at and prettier to look at. will look better. >> that's organizing that is not fun unless you love the way your home looks afterwards. >> great uses for decorative jars which this is something that always comes in handy. you can never find them when you need them. >> or back in the cabinet. something where you get something gifted and hang on to the square but not sure what to do with it. the bathroom is a great place to beautify. you use it multiple times a day and a critical part of your

glass vessels which could be on your mantel or in your cabinet, soap, q-tips. >> that's a cake tray. >> cake stand is one of my favorite organizing and decorative organizational tip. in a cabinet or -- >> to go higher. >> put this in a bathroom and glass is a great option and keep it clean and add these pieces on it and even on a jewelry stand or on your dresser multiple cake tears and small dishes for jewelry. >> i have a cake tray that has never been used because i don't bake. that will come in handy. what are we doing here. >> cabinets are a chore to get through. tension rods are a crazy secret trick. tension rods perfect for under the sink and hang on, let's see, great. hang on cleaning supplies like that and then, of course, for the things impossible, these -- >> pans and cutting boards.

>> i stack them so high. >> you yank one out and fall towards you. you can use them as these stanchions in between. >> so great and looks -- my cupboards do not look like this. >> these are for decorations. >> this is the perfect thing to try. just a regular plexi bend or tension rod, string two across there and just hang the ons. you avoid tissue altogether. >> no breaking. >> you see what you have, they can stack and then it's just super easy and fun to decorate the re. >> where do you get a tension rod. >> hardware store. any hard ware store. >> another place like my kitchen i've never visited but i will be there soon. >> no such thing as dumb questions. this is an 18-inch or 24-inch one and go the length, the short kind. >> i don't want to miss this. this wall is something i can use. i don't have magnets and this is awesome. >> this is also great for a

i'm not going to drown. >> and michael shannon joins us now. thank you for being with us. >> thanks, amy. >> congratulations on the golden globe nomination as well as a lot of oscar buzz surrounding this role. >> it's pretty exciting. it's been a while. the last time that happened was "revolutionary road" so it would be nice to have it again. >> we're all rooting for you. you play a florida real estate mogul who makes a fortune evicting families from their home. how difficult was this role to take on? >> it was very difficult for a variety of reason, number one, i don't really know much about real estate. i wasn't a huge real estate aficionado beforehand so i had to learn the lingo and all that. and it's also a very sad situation, but it's one that you kind of have to confront head on. i think rick is a survivalist. he's just trying to figure out how to use the system to his advantage. and despite how sad the story

>> yeah, the movie is so powerful and it's resonated with so many americans who literally lived through it and watching the movie, i understand people have come up to you and given you their business cards. >> yeah, there have been screenings where people -- a lot came up and told me they survived foreclosures or started organizations to try and deal with this situation and it's just a very powerful feeling when you make a movie that is that much based in reality that isn't just superheroes flying around in the sky. >> we're used to seeing you play intense, dark characters. you've changed things up a bit starring alongside seth rogen and joseph gordon-levitt in the comedy "the night before." a little change of pace for you. >> it was a lot of fun and came out of the clear blue sky. i wasn't expecting it but called me up and said they wanted me to do it and, you know, honestly i

i'm from chicago and did some improv so it was fun to get to flex that muscle. >> you know what was fun seeing you flex your muscle in an ugly christmas sweater. was that required attire or -- >> here's the story with that sweater. so they sent something out saying the dress code was ugly christmas sweater and i took it very seriously and then all the rest of the cast showed up in fancy suits. i was the only one that showed up in an ugly christmas sweater but i brought my little sister and she had the same sweater on. >> so you didn't feel completely alone. >> it was a bonding moment for us. >> i feel like this is an easy transition to go from that sweater to whether or not -- i wanted you to weigh in on the debate we're having how a dog should wear pants. in he thoughts. >> well, i saw the diagram. i think if it's four-legged pants then the belt goes -- wipeds up going around the -- i don't know if i can say it on network television, the, you

don't want a belt rubbing up against so i think -- >> i hadn't thought of that but now that you point that out, that is an accurate thought that we should consider. >> consider the dog, the poor dog. >> yeah, yeah. michael shannon, thank you for being a good sport. we appreciate it. >> no problem, amy. >> love the sweater. you should wear it often and always. >> "99 homes" in theaters nationwide. >> see the dude's perspective where the belt goes. always important to think about that. to the new "point break" film wowing so many with its death-denying stunts. check it out. abc's nick watt got a close look at one of them. >> six seconds. fly or die. >> reporter: this, my friends, is not cgi. there are no safety wires. filmed for "point break" but totally real.

which is the most dangerous activity human beings partake in. i do genuinely believe it is the single most dangerous stunt that's ever been filmed in history, period. >> reporter: if jeb corliss says it is, then believe him. he's a b.a.s.e. jumper and he's cheated death more times than he can remember. >> you can't allow the fear of something which is completely inevitable which is death stop you from living your dreams. >> reporter: he was technical coordinator on "point break." a rework of the swayze/reeves movie. so many that the credits roll for 14 minutes. we met in l.a. at a skydiving tunnel and the closest i will get to jumping out of a plane in it feels exactly like that. >> except you don't have the fear. >> exactly.

liberating although i am a truly ungainly flying lump. quite enough of that. back to this. >> i mean there's a scene where a guy is this high off the ground flying at 120 miles an hour. >> obviously don't try this at home with grandma's drapes around your shoulders. these guys have around 17,000 sky dives each and decades of practice before they risk their lives like this. >> there's something special about going back to the old style of filmmaking and do just the gnarliest stunts ever. >> reporter: for "good morning america," nick watt, abc news, los angeles.

how is my accent? am i doing all right? >> more. >> half the audience is perfectly happy with tomato. >> i love it. by having a lettuce cup it's carb-free so you're using fat predominantly as your fuel source as opposed to carbs. that's why you're burning more energy from that. >> those carrots are amazing. >> alternative to having chip, spiced carrots. chuck some spices spread over a board and roast them on yogurt and much more colorful and more pigment means more nutrition and much more flavor. >> to get the recipes go to goodmorningamerica.com an yahoo. dan, great to have you. >> thanks, guys. >> can you help us with the accent during the break. >> we'll work on it. thanks, guys. bryan cranston and cast of

>> since prison you don't talk or ask. >> after being jailed, he became imperious. >> oh, go on. >> reporter: oscar winner mirren is hedda hopper who could tore a pen. >> whisper a movie you've written in secret. maybe i've even heard of it. >> hedda hopper, not exactly somebody you want to have a pedicure with. >> oh, i don't know. i think she would be quite fung to have a pedicure with actually. a lot of gossip. >> is it fair to call her a villain. >> i think it's fair to call her the villain of this piece. of course, in her eyes and in the eyes of the majority of america at the time she was the heroine. >> reporter: i met trumbo's real-life daughters consulted for the film. >> we knew that he could not write under his own name, but because it seemed so unjust it was also difficult to understand
