Though Bill Cosby has faced individual women in court accusing him of sexual assault over the years (accusations he’s repeatedly denied), he’s never had to reckon with the sheer volume of those accusations at once. But that could all change next year.

In a pre-trial motion for the criminal trial of Bill Cosby for the alleged sexual assault of former Temple University employee Andrea Constand, the Montgomery County D.A.’s office requested that 13 of the more than 50 women who have come forward to accuse Cosby over the years be allowed to add their testimony to Constand’s in the trial. For the first time under the public eye, Cosby would have to confront evidence of what the district attorney called “a pattern of serial sexual abuse.” If found guilty, Cosby faces a possible decade behind bars and millions in fines for three counts of second-degree felonies, aggravated indecent assault, against Constand, according to a Deadline report.

No official word yet on whether Judge Steven O’Neill will allow the 13 women to testify against Cosby, but if they do, they’ll have a while to wait. Though the judge asked for a “speedy” and “expeditious” trial, Deadline reports that the case will likely be pushed until June 5, 2017, due, primarily, to scheduling concerns from Cosby’s lawyer Brian McMonagle. But this delay may come as something of a relief to the prosecution who described the task of investigating the accounts of these additional witnesses as “Herculean.”

Despite indicating that there was work still to be done, D.A. Kevin Steele presented a mountain of damning accusations from the 13 women in the pre-trial motion he filed. The document (which you can view in full via Deadline here) goes into unflinching detail about each woman’s accusation in 37 pages of sub-headed lists. The incidents date back to 1964 and allege a ritual abuse of power, age, and gender dynamics and Cosby’s now-infamous alleged preference for immobilizing intoxicants. Though the cases vary somewhat, there is one consistent sentence repeated for each of the 14 accusers, including Constand: “She did not consent to this sexual contact with the defendant.”

Meanwhile Cosby’s defense team is asking for the 2017 trial to be moved out of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, due to what they view as a biased, targeted attack from D.A. Steele who made prosecuting Cosby a campaign promise during his 2015 election to the position. But as the judge pointed out, Cosby’s case is so famous at this point that McMonagle is unlikely to find a trial location anywhere in the country that hasn’t been influenced by the reportage on the case.

If the media circus and public disgrace of a beloved figure weren’t enough to recall the O.J. Simpson trial, then Cosby’s latest defense tactic drives the point home. Playing what New Yorker columnist Jeffrey Toobin called “the race card” back in 1994, Cosby’s legal team released the following statement:

Mr. Cosby is no stranger to discrimination and racial hatred, and throughout his career Mr. Cosby has always used his voice and his celebrity to highlight the commonalities and has portrayed the differences that are not negative — no matter the race, gender and religion of a person. Yet, over the last fourteen months, Mr. Cosby, and those who have supported him, have been ignored, while lawyers like Gloria Allred hold press conferences to accuse him of crimes for unwitnessed events that allegedly occurred almost a half century earlier.

Despite the fact that Cosby’s lawyers present the nation as a whole and Montgomery County specifically as hostile territory, Cosby was greeted by throngs of supporters shouting “we love you” outside the courthouse door on Tuesday. But if Steele gets his way, the comedian will have to face a much more than hostile crowd of 14 women next summer.
