This April, Bill Cosby was found guilty on three counts of sexual assault for drugging and raping Andrea Constand. This came after several women made similar allegations against the comedian, leading much of the public to believe he could be guilty of abusing others.
One vandal took it upon themselves to deface the actor’s Hollywood Walk-of-Fame star with the words, “serial rapist.”

The Jasmine Brand reports Los Angeles police became aware of the tag around 5:30 a.m. Tuesday morning, and are now investigating in hopes of finding the culprit. The plaque has since been cleaned.

Cosby’s star has been defaced several times, including on three occasions in 2014 when sexual assault allegations began to resurface.
President Trump’s Hollywood Walk-of-Fame star has also been vandalized multiple times, most recently with a pickax this July.
