Pennsylvania appeals court rejects Bill Cosby’s bid to overturn his sexual assault conviction over trial judge’s decision to let five other accusers testify.
The former actor claims that additional accusers were wrongly allowed to testify against him.conviction Tuesday, as an appeals court upheld the verdict in the first celebrity trial of the #MeToo era.
The prosecutor who took the case to trial praised Constand for inspiring other victims to come forward against powerful men. She went to police long before the #MeToo movement saw prominent men in entertainment, business, media and other fields brought down over their treatment of women. Cosby, 82, can now ask the state Supreme Court to consider his appeal. He recently said he is prepared to serve the full 10-year sentence rather than express remorse to the parole board.
He was arrested a decade later, after a federal judge unsealed portions of the deposition at the request of the AP and new prosecutors reopened the criminal case. In the deposition, Cosby acknowledged getting quaaludes in the 1970s to give to women before sex.
