Bill Cosby was jailed today, possibly for the rest of his life.
As reported, the disgraced actor, 81, was sentenced after being convicted of the 2004 rape of Andrea Constand.
Over two-days, Montgomery County Judge Steven O’Neill heard arguments from the prosecution and defence regarding the length of time Cosby should spend in prison for his crimes.
And this afternoon, the judgement (of 3-10 years of total confinement) was handed down.
Now images, emblazoned into the pages of time, show ‘The Cosby Show’ nucleus in his new predicament.
More after the jump…
The snap above, provided by the Montgomery County Correctional Facility, shows a defeated Cosby being formally processed for prison.
Elsewhere, he’s seen in handcuffs being led out of the courtroom.
The shots are a far cry from the family-friendly patriarch he portrayed for much of his tenure in the spotlight.
Echoing earlier reports, Cosby’s criminal case is the first of this magnitude since the #MeToo movement begun gaining traction.
Though Constand’s was the only to receive a full trial, 60 women in total came forward against Cosby with allegations of sexual assault and/or drugging. The issue for most was that the statute of limitations had run out.
For many though, today’s sentencing will serve as the win wanted by all.
I’m so over it. Our president won’t do jail time, but he is. Granted, I DO feel bad for the women he drugged.
But women also have to take responsibility. I am not of the school of thought that a woman cannot dress s*** or have agency of her body.
But I do think you shouldn’t put yourself in dangerous situations. Business meetings are done in public. Not in a hotel room. So I give many of them the side-eye as I am sure they were willing to have s** for such a big player in Hollywood.
What really disgust me is the racism. Harvey Weinstein and Trump aren’t going to jail. But he is? We have a freaking WHITE guy who is about to be sworn in as a SUPREME COURT JUSTICE WHO DID THE SAME THING. And yet he is what? About to get rewarded with a lifelong effect on the legal system.
But racism is over, they say. Yes, Bill Cosby is wrong–but he should not see A DAY in jail until his WHITE counterparts receive the same justice.
I’m sorry but bills case broke way before Trumps and Harvey’s.. years before. Weinstein will go to jail and trump is going down for much more than this. The argument ur making is valid but both the examples you used came up more recently. One at a time they will all pay
I would like to agree with jasmine, and also add that you need more education. You can’t victim blame people. Saying you side eyeing the women who went to a hotel is victim blaming. I’m sure they didn’t ask “hey I’m here, when are you going to drug and r*** me?”. Also, even if they wanted to have s** for a come up that’s their choice, CLEARLY, these women like many others didn’t make that decision. It was taken from them. This isn’t about racism like jasmine said. In due time, all those who have wronged will have their day.
So so sad.
This dirty old b****** will die in jail! Good riddance!
God knows the truth
He was an example
An exemple of perversion! He fall just like all the other “untouchables” Weinstein, Roy Moore, Trump, R. Kelly, Kavanaugh… fortunately will follow him!
This is very sad.
Bill looks so UNBOTHERED in that Mugshot
we should all sign a PARTITION that says #FREE BILL
He Clearly Din du nuffin wrong except be BLACK!
Doesn’t change my love of The Cosby Show and what it represents. I just watched an episode from 91 and it’s better than This Is Us and any other family show today. Nothing comes close.
#FACTS
Too bad he went downhill. He WAS so funny. No more comebacks for him…
