Bill Cosby  - Accusations of sexual misconduct have dogged the comedy icon for decades but came to a crescendo last year when more than 50 women came out of the woodwork to make claims of rape and abuse. In June, Cosby was brought to trial by Andrea Constand, who claimed he drugged and assaulted her. The case would result in a mistrial, with a new trial scheduled for November.(Photo: Ethan Miller/Getty Images)
Woody Allen - The film legend raised a lot of eyebrows when he married his adopted daughter, Soon Yi Previn, but that's more creepy than heinous. The allegations that he sexually abused his biological daughter, Dylan Farrow, however, crossed the line. Allen has dismissed the claims, saying that Dylan has been brainwashed by her mother, Allen's ex-wife, Mia Farrow.  (Photo: Aaron Davidson/Getty Images)Cool C - The Pennsylvania rapper was sentenced to the death penalty for his part in a 1996 bank heist that left a police officer dead.
