2014 was not favorable
It was at this time that the first voices began to appear, strongly indicating that the actor had committed a series of sexual attacks on a large number of women. As is usually the case, when one brave woman appears who decides to step out of the shadows and reveal her tragedy, more follow her. So it was this time. A total of 50 women reported being raped by Bill Cosby. In 2017, the artist was tried for sexual assault on Andrea Constand. It was the only case out of the 50 that did not have a statute of limitations. Unfortunately, it ended without a sentence because the jury was unable to establish a common position.
The verdict has been passed
Precisely on Tuesday, September 25, Bill Cosby heard a conviction, which was handed down by a Pennsylvania court. The actor will spend 3 to 10 years behind bars, and it was for the rape and intoxication of Andrei Constand in 2004. The actor will serve a sentence in the Phoenix prison, which was opened just two months ago for use. The prison has many amenities such as a hairdresser, chapel, gym and library. Additionally, prisoners will be able to participate in various types of activities and therapy.
