NORRISTOWN, Pa. — Bill Cosby, who once embodied the idealized American father on a wildly popular sitcom, was convicted of sexual assault on Thursday in a high-stakes retrial after a half-dozen women testified that the famed comedian drugged and assaulted them.
The jury returned with the guilty verdict Thursday afternoon after a second day of deliberations in which the judge read back testimony of the defense's star witness, who testified that Cosby’s main accuser once said she could frame a “high-profile person.”
The jury was also read back Cosby's deposition testimony from 2005, where the comedian admitted to giving a woman Quaaludes in order to have sex with her.
Cosby, 80, faces a maximum sentence of 10 years and a fine of up to $25,000 on each count.

It took way too long to bring him to justice.

He should have bought it like the rest of us have to.

That happens when the victims wait as long as 40 years before saying anything.

an awful lot of closing of the eyes and looking the other way all around
just 3 counts doesn't seem like enough
probably go home before surrendering for sentencing and off himself non-violently

He could have pleaded 'Affluenza' since he had wealth, fame, and power and just didn't know better.
I hope he actually does go to prison.

Please don't victim shame.
If you don't know what it's like to have a powerful, charismatic man assault you (back when there was NO #metoo atmosphere), don't judge how long it took for these women to come forward.
