News: Bill Cosby Found Guilty Of Sexual Assault

Comedian Bill Cosby has been found guilty of three counts of sexual assault.

Each carry a potential sentence of ten years in prison.

Cosby, 80, had been on trial for drugging and assaulting ex-basketball player Andrea Constand in 2004.

It was the second time the legendary American comedian and sitcom star had stood trial for the allegations. An earlier jury failed to reach a verdict in June 2017.

At the start of the retrial in Pennsylvania it was revealed that Cosby had paid Ms Constand almost $3.4m (£2.4m) in a civil settlement in 2006.
