Navy restricts honorary chief bill Cosby to scrubbing honorary toilets

Filed · 1541

WALTER REED NATIONAL MEDICAL CENTER — Honorary Chief Petty Officer William Cosby was called before an honorary Captain’s Mast Thursday at the Navy’s Medical Command in Bethesda where he was busted down to Honorary E-1, sources told Duffel Blog.

Cosby has been accused of numerous acts of sexual impropriety and assault by more than a dozen women in recent weeks. He faced charges from the Navy in front of the ironically-named Capt. Douglas “Cliff” Huxtable, 37, of Philadelphia, who concluded the comedian and actor's official duties would now be restricted to scrubbing honorary toilets.
