Bill Cosby Shows Up In Newly Released Epstein Files: Report

ELKINS PARK, PA — Disgraced comedian Bill Cosby has shown up in the recent release of new files involving convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, alleging there was a "neighborly relationship” between the two who owned townhomes on the same street in New York City, a report states.

Cosby, the 88-year-old disgraced actor/comedian who lives in a mansion in Cheltenham Township, appeared in the millions of documents — known as the "Epstein Files" — released Friday by the U.S. Department of Justice, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

The New Yorker magazine said that Cosby and Epstein lived across the street from one another as both owned townhouses on East 71st Street in Manhattan.

Around 2017, Epstein reportedly had his real estate broker pursue Cosby’s house across the street from Epstein’s own seven-story home. In late 2024, Cosby defaulted on his mortgage for the 5,000-square-foot Manhattan townhouse. He listed the address for sale in 2025 for $29 million, the Inquirer stated.

The comedian was sentenced to three to 10 years behind bars in 2018 after being convicted of drugging and sexually abusing Andrea Constand inside his Cheltenham home in 2004, according to a previous Patch story.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned the conviction in 2021 on procedural grounds. Epstein died by suicide in federal custody in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Cosby was the first among a slew of powerful men brought to reckoning over charges that he abused his power for sexual gain, as the MeToo movement took off in the mid-2010s and toppled once powerful figures and convicted abusers like Harvey Weinstein.

Dozens of women came forward with similar allegations of abuse against Cosby since Constand's case became public, although Constand's case was the first that was brought to criminal trial.
