The 78-year-old Cosby has been dogged by allegations of sexual assault. At least 50 women have come forward to publicly accuse him of assaulting them over four decades, most saying he drugged them first.
Formal accusations date back at least 10 years, when Constand went to police with her complaint. Cosby has maintained his innocence and filed lawsuits accusing his accusers of defamation.
Wednesday's criminal charges quickly caught the attention of others who have accused the entertainer.
"For many of my 29 clients, who allege they are victims of Bill Cosby, seeing him criminally charged and having to face a trial is the best Christmas present they've received," attorney Gloria Allred told reporters.
