NORRISTOWN, Pa.  A jury found Bill Cosby guilty Thursday of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman at his home near here 14 years ago, capping the downfall of one of the world’s best-known entertainers, and offering a measure of satisfaction to the dozens of women who for years have accused him of similar assaults against them.

On the second day of its deliberations at the Montgomery County Courthouse in this town northwest of Philadelphia, the jury returned to convict Mr. Cosby of three counts of aggravated indecent assault against Andrea Constand, at the time a Temple University employee he had mentored.

The three counts — penetration with lack of consent, penetration while unconscious, and penetration after administering an intoxicant — are felonies, each punishable by up to 10 years in state prison, though the sentences could be served concurrently.

    See what ****** causing, You had it all yet you seek more and inappropriately too… A shame and disgrace for you, your family and followers. The truth will always be revealed and as the saying goes, 99 days for the thief one day for the watchman. Violence against women in all forms should be rebuked and dealt with justly. I wonder how many of the 10 yrs you would stay in Jail. Hope u get enough time to repent as prepare to meet your maker behind bars.

    I have no money and have no problem finding honey. Men with loads of cash are often unattractive and have to play “Doctor” to get honey.

    I have a dream that one day, very soon, that Dominica will be free again and our justice system, from the legal Affairs ministry to our national security ministry, to our police commissioner and police officers, to our lawyers and magistrates , to our judges to our court rooms, will be free again and Dominicans will feel free to report to the police their grievances without any fair of victimization, knowing that they have a system that will protect them and seek to penalize criminals whether they are farmers, teachers, fishermen, politicians, Presidents, government Ministers, housewives or anyone that commits crime on our land. This conviction of Mr. Bill Cosby is a reminder that Americans are not afraid of anyone. At the moment Dominicans are afraid because those that are paid to protect them and their rights are the very ones intimidating them, just to protect criminals. But soon and very soon that too will be over and Dominica will become a real country under God again

    No one is above the law and champions and advocates of child Rights and for the elimination of all forms of above is welcomed. Many more must join the fight and please say what you feel and report where you think abuse takes place, especially on our children, school children, teenagers and women. It needs to stop and we need to have the structure and fortitude to respond t reports asap.

    This is an example to show that riches cannot bring Joy! He had money and was famous so i am sure he could have many worldly things. So are many Hollywood stars. Miserably doing drugs under the disguise of money, fancy clothes and sunglasses.
    Yet we follow! Don’t you know that these people must kneel before the lord Jesus Christ at one point? So too will we all! We must make amends now because the dead cannot praise God!
    As long as we have life we can come to God and He is faithful and just to forgive us from our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Why do we gamble our real life of eternity here on this earth? We don’t even spend 2 hours in eternity time here on earth. It is just a trial!
    Come on people seek the lord while He can be found! It is for your own good! You are responsible for your life and you can”t blame anyone on that day!
    God is merciful and will show you mercy if you are willing to follow Him. Trust me. I was there.
    Glory to God!

      Riches can bring joy if and when you keep a cool disposition.

        There is a difference between happiness and joy. Happiness entails your reaction to things around you. Joy however would allow you to be at peace no matter what the circumstance. You probably mean riches can make you happy but only the peace of God brings joy.

        I wear clothes and sunglasses, but i was referring to the way emotional misery is hidden. Hey, do you know that some hide them under make ups too? Of course, not every one who wears those are miserable but get the point.
        There is joy and contentment in the lord Jesus.

      Riches are a means to bring joy into your life. It gives you many options that you lack when you are broke.
