Bill Cosby convicted of sexual assault
After 14 hours of deliberation, the jury found Bill Cosby guilty of sexual assault, according to CNN.
Cosby was accused and convicted of aggravated indecent assault for drugging and sexually assaulting Temple University employee Andrea Constand in 2004. The 80-year-old Cosby faces up to 30 years in prison, 10 years for each count.
SEE ALSO:The #MeToo men are getting their comeback tours. The women they hurt won't be.Specifically, the charges against Cosby were 1) that he penetrated Constand without consent, 2) that she was semi-conscious or unconscious at the time of the assault, and 3) that Constand was rendered semi-conscious or unconscious by intoxicating substances Cosby used to impair her.
Scenes from outside the courtroom show women tearing up and hugging each other as they see justice served. One of his accusers, Lil Bernard, had to leave the courtroom as she was overcome with emotion.

Over 50 women have accused Cosby of sexual assault over the past several years. Five accusers besides Constand testified at the trial to support her case, since many accusations fell outside the statue of limitations for legal action. Cosby's legal team is pushing for the three separate 10-year sentences to be served concurrently.
This is a developing story.
