Bill was accused by over 60 women of sexual assault and harassment in 2015, and will face retrial in April after a hung jury was unable to reach a decision in 2017 on the alleged drugging and sexual assault of Andrea Constand.

Ensa supported her father throughout the allegations, releasing a statement last year that said: ‘My father has been publicly lynched in the media and my family, my young daughter, my young niece and nephew have had to stand helplessly by and watch the double standard or pretending to protect the rights of some but ignoring the rights of others.’ She added: ‘I strongly believe my father is innocent of the crimes alleged against him and I believe that racism has played a big role in all aspects of this scandal.’

Bill and his wife, Camille, are also the parents of Erika, 52, Erinn, 51, and Evin, 41. Their son Ennis was murdered at the age of 27 in a failed robbery attempt in Los Angeles in 1997. Got a story?
