Kristen Gibbons Feden says Bill Cosby’s image as America’s dad, a popular comedian and philanthropist was crucial in his scheme of drugging and sexually assaulting women, including Andrea Constand. Constand’s allegations from 2004 led to criminal charges—and a guilty verdict on three counts of aggravated indecent assault—in Cosby’s retrial before a Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, jury on April 26.

Feden, who shared the closing argument in the retrial with Assistant District Attorney M. Stewart Ryan, was part of a team of prosecutors that worked on the Cosby case, beginning when then-District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman, now a Montgomery County judge, reopened the case in 2015. Working with Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele and Ryan, Feden saw the case through even after going into private practice at Philadelphia-based Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young—taking a leave from the firm to serve as a special prosecutor on the retrial.
