Bill Cosby Blindness Scam — Busted By National ENQUIRER

Bill Cosby is not only faking blindness — but the accused predator has also boasted about tricking the prosecution on the eve of his sexual assault trial!

However, the evil con artist — charged with molesting a Temple University women’s basketball coach after he drugged her into unconsciousness — cannot hoodwink The National ENQUIRER!

The ENQUIRER caught creepy Cosby red-handed with an undercover sting operation, exposing his perverse scheme to curry sympathy with his jurors by pretending to be blind as a bat. What’s more, our surveillance of the sinner discovered he’s been making hush-hush trips on a private jet to his New York City townhouse, where he’s slaving over a new one-man show and writing a tell-all!

In the photos, the foul fiend — who suffers from glaucoma and is “legally” blind — waves a cane in the air, walks unassisted and opens a car door. “He is definitely faking his blindness,” Dr. Lillian Glass, a nationally recognized forensic expert, confirmed to The ENQUIRER. “Look at the way he’s holding the cane. You wouldn’t hold it so far away from your body in the air like that if you were blind.”

Dr. Glass also claimed the disgraced comic’s gaze gave him away, saying: “His eyes are showing that he’s focusing on the [car] door, and the muscles in his forehead show an intense gaze. If he were blind, he wouldn’t focus on anything.” The twisted sex fiend also reached for the car effortlessly! “He’s not fumbling around. He’s looking directly at the seat and checking his feet. That’s proof he really is faking it!” Dr. Glass assured The ENQUIRER.

But a spokesperson for Cosby said the actor is not faking, and that he is registered with the state of Massachusetts as legally blind. Cosby’s desperate moves to mislead the American people come after he opened up for the first time in more than two years — and announced he won't testify at his June 5 trial! Asked by SiriusXM host Michael Smerconish if he expected to testify, Cosby declared: “No, I do not!” The rat confessed he doesn’t want to “sit [on the stand], figure out what I believe is a truthful answer as to whether or not I’m opening a can of something that my lawyers are scrambling [to shut].”

And despite his shuffling old-man act, the once-beloved TV dad is in tip-top shape, a source said. “He’s in great health. It’s all an act. Bill has started working on a comeback. He’s that confident potential jurors will be forgiving towards a blind old man. He’s working on new material, both comedy writing and a diary of stories he’s too scared to reveal in court,” the insider dished. “In Bill’s eyes — regardless of how well he can see out of them — he’s innocent, and this scandal will blow over. And when it does, there’ll be a multimillion-dollar paycheck waiting for him to return with a TV special, a one-man show tour and a trial tell-all!”

The former Jell-O pitchman is accused of drugging and molesting Andrea Constand in 2004. He maintains the sex was consensual, but admitted to plying young women with drugs, sex and alcohol over a 50-year period! As The ENQUIRER revealed last week, the snake has also turned stool pigeon, linking old showbiz pals to a Hollywood sex ring in a frantic bid to beat the rap. “Cosby is ready to pull a pile of people into the quagmire that has stained his reputation forever!” spilled a source. “If he’s gotta name names to stay out of prison, then his defense team’s feeling is, ‘So be it!’”
