Bill Cosby found guilty on all counts in sexual assault retrial
-
The iconic 80-year-old comedian who became "America's Dad" thanks to The Cosby Show was convicted on three counts of aggravated indecent assault for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand, and now faces up to 10 years in prison. The former Temple University employee said she had looked at Cosby as a father-figure and mentor until the night in 2004 when the incident at his home took place. Numerous women have accused Cosby of sexual misconduct, but Constand's allegation was the only one to go to trial. The first trial ended in a hung jury last summer. Cosby's conviction is the first of the #MeToo era.
