Update: In a brief statement made outside the courthouse, Cosby attorney Tom Mesereau said "we are very disappointed in the verdict," and added that Cosby's legal team intended to appeal "very strongly."

After his first trial ended in a hung jury less than one year ago, Comedian Bill Cosby on Thursday was convicted of drugging and molesting a former Temple University athletics department employee in what Bloomberg described as the first guilty verdict of the #MeToo era.
A jury in a Pennsylvania courthouse convicted the former "Cosby Show" star on three counts of aggravated indecent assault. Cosby, who is 80, could be sentenced to 10 years for each count - for a total of 30 years - with a minimum sentence of 5 years.

Stacked the deck. Couldn't convict on the first trial so let's allow multiple women to claim the same thing happened to them with out it ever being proven.
He will go to a GolfCourse Prison like Martha Stewart / OJ
No need to Worry for him .............Fact
He should have gone straight to prison.
That is what would have happened to you or me.
Fact: Martha was in the Federal system not state system. PA doesn't have any country club state prisons. Highlands is a state prison for elderly and ill prisoners. Fact checked.
BS, all of a sudden he raped you after how many years? Oh fu #metoo
Who's next?
It’s about time he pays for what he did to all those women!
Thats right! The nerve of him, partying w/ them having late night meetings in hotels then not making good on leaving his wife or furthering their careers
And then there the appeal. The old man will never go to prison, and he will live out his life with wealth and tranquility. Those self-serving bitches and their attorneys are just targeting a deep pocket. How many other men did these bitches let buy them drinks and ply them with drugs and promise them something in return for sex? Surely a lot. It's the kind of women they were, and are. It was consensual sex 20 years ago, and now its rape!? When that transvestite took that large payout years ago to keep her mouth shut, "she" officially became a whore.
It's the attorneys that should go to jail.
