Bill Cosby's Sentencing Date Set

NORRISTOWN, PA -- Bill Cosby's sentencing hearing has been scheduled for September, a Montgomery County judge ordered on Tuesday.

Sentencing was scheduled for two days, Monday and Tuesday, Sept. 24 and Sept. 25, at 9:30 a.m. each morning, Judge Steven T. O'Neill ruled.

The former comedian, 80, faces up to ten years in prison on each of three counts of aggravated indecent assault. He was found guilty in his retrial on April 26 of drugging and molesting Andrea Constand, a Temple University employee and acquaintance, at his Cheltenham home in 2004.

The verdict brought an end to years of rumors, preliminary hearings, and other courtroom drama related to Cosby and the dozens of women who had accused him of sexual misconduct. Constand was the first to bring Cosby to criminal trial.
