Cosby Must Undergo Sexually Violent Predator Assessment

NORRISTOWN, PA — A judge ordered Friday that Bill Cosby must undergo assessment as a sexually violent predator.

The court also ruled that Cosby’s sentencing will be held in 75 days.

The ruling comes the day following the jury’s verdict, which convicted the 80-year-old on all three counts of aggravated indecent assault. He faces up to 10 years on each count.

The verdict brings to a close decades of speculation amid accusations from dozens of women in a case that has toppled a man who was once a figurehead of comedy and considered "America's father." It marks the first conviction of a powerful male figure accused of sexual assault following a year that brought reckoning to numerous men across politics, media, and entertainment.
