Comedian Bill Cosby Found Guilty of Sexual Assault In Retrial
The iconic American comedian Bill Cosby has been found guilty of all charges in his sexual assault retrial. According to report, the 80-year old comedian will face up to 10 years in prison. He was convicted of drugging and molesting a woman in the first big celebrity trial of the #MeToo era.
A jury outside Philadelphia convicted the “Cosby Show” star of three counts of aggravated indecent assault on Thursday. The guilty verdict came less than a year after another jury deadlocked on the charges.
Cosby, 80, could end up spending his final years in prison after a jury concluded he sexually violated Temple University employee Andrea Constand at his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004. He claimed the encounter was consensual.
