Bill Cosby is facing sentencing today after three counts of sexual assault conviction back in April, 2014.
The 81 year old emerged from a black SUV wearing a flower-print tie and dark suit and ambled to the Montgomery County courthouse using his cane and with the help of his publicist Andrew Wyatt.
The hearing at the Montgomery County Courthouse in Norristown is expected to begin with testimony about whether he should be classified as a sexually predator. Cosby was convicted of three counts of sexual assault after drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand in 2004.
Constand, the former head of women’s basketball operations at Temple University, is just one of the 60 women who have accused Cosby of sexual harassment.
Constand tweeted a Bible verse hours before the hearing was set to begin: “Be wrathful, but do not sin; do not let the sun set while you are still angry; do not give the Devil an opportunity.” She wrote on Twitter.
His trial is being heralded as the first major celebrity trial of the #MeToo era. As a result, there’s massive public attention being paid to the outcome with those coming out against Cosby not sure if the court will give him a pass in terms of punishment given his fame.
“I really think it’s important that he spend some time behind bars,” said Lise-Lotte Lublin, who said Cosby assaulted her when she was 23 in 1989. The then-model said Cosby prodded her to take two drinks to relax. “At some point, he should acknowledge what he’s done, and do the time for the crime.”
Its crazy to think someone so beloved by so many is now being looked at as disgusting. It’s just unimaginable to think that Cosby, the one who was on your television screens growing up is being depicted in such a different light. Just goes to show you a person like Bill, even though you think he’s innocent and it never crossed your mind that he would do such a thing, you just never know.
