It appears Bill Cosby was just convicted on all charges related to drugging and molesting a woman 14 years ago. Fat Albert is going to jail, and was apparently none too happy about it.

Bill Cosby has been convicted of drugging and molesting a woman in the first big celebrity trial of the MeToo era.

A jury outside Philadelphia convicted the "Cosby Show" star of three counts of aggravated indecent assault on Thursday. The guilty verdict came less than a year after another jury deadlocked on the charges.

Cosby will remain out of jail pending sentencing.

Bill Cosby is lashing out at prosecutors after a jury convicted him of three counts of aggravated indecent assault.

Cosby stood up and erupted after jurors left the courtroom. He used an expletive to refer to District Attorney Kevin Steele, who was arguing to revoke Cosby's bail. Cosby shouted, "I'm sick of him!"

The judge ruled that Cosby will remain free pending sentencing.

Cosby was convicted Thursday of drugging and molesting a woman 14 years ago.

He will be dead before he ever serves a day.

Guilty, Guilty, Guilty.

Hey, Hey, Hey!

Same - same

Not that I don’t think he is getting his just desserts but I have an academic question.

Is there a statute of limitations on his crimes? I know murder has no statute of limitations but is this also considered as such?

I also believe he will be dead before he serves a day.

I don't care whether he goes to jail or not. I guess I'm a bad person.

I too was wondering about whatever happened to the Statute of Limitations...

He's gonna learn about a different type of rape in prison... And he isn't gonna like being on the receiving end of Fat Albert

It seems like most of these women voluntarily took some pills from him and swallowed them.

He may not have told them what the pills were, but still - I think at that point you are pretty much agreeing to let him do whatever to you.

I can't imagine someone hitting on me and then saying "here - take these pills." and I'm like - oh this will all work out fine.

My understanding is that for the vast majority of his accusers, the statute of limitations was up a long time ago. That is why he was just facing charges on the most recent incident.

I feel sure that Cosby has mega $$, but I bet that this is getting pretty expensive!!

If there were a limitations period that had run, he wouldn't have been tried. It is probably a long one for semi-violent sexual crimes. 20 years. Some of the crimes did have limitations periods that already ran.

I guess he will get some jail time. At least it may be a deterrent to others. He probably will get some deferential treatment from both the state (for being 80), and from other inmates (for being famous). But at 80, he might not last very long in jail.

It’s about damn time. This animal is a creep and it’s great knowing that this is all taking place while he’s still alive (the women coming forward, that is) so that he can revel in his own shameful acts.

What a tool.

I don't think he'll do any actual prison time.

I'm guessing given his medical issues he'll either be given some form of house arrest, or to a minimum security medical facility.

Good thing Jello is slippery...

He sure looks pitiful, I wonder how much is genuine?
