Comment on Bill Cosby found guilty on all counts in sexual assault retrial

Bill Cosby found guilty on all counts in sexual assault retrial

A Pennsylvania jury on Thursday found comedian Bill Cosby guilty on three counts of indecent aggravated assault. Cosby had been charged with drugging and sexually assaulting plaintiff Andrea Constand in 2004. The verdict resulted from a retrial, after Cosby's original trial ended in a mistrial last June. Cosby, 80, faces up to 30 years in prison — 10 years per count — and a fine of up to $25,000 for each of the charges, though CNN reports that he could instead see a probationary sentence. Five additional women besides Constand testified against Cosby during the trial, and dozens more have publicly claimed sexual misconduct by the comedian.
