A judge in Pennsylvania, US has set a trial date for Bill Cosby, who is accused of sexually assaulting a woman at his home in 2004.

Former Temple University employee Andrea Constand alleges the 79-year-old actor drugged and molested her at his suburban Philadelphia home.

The trial is tentatively due to begin on 5 June 2017 near Cosby's home.

At least 50 women have accused Cosby of sexual assault, and prosecutors want 13 of them to testify.

The former star of The Cosby Show faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted.
