FREED: Bill Cosby released after sexual assault conviction overturned

Published

on

Bill Cosby will be released from prison after a shock ruling by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.

Cosby’s 2018 sexual assault conviction was overturned by the court on a “procedural issue”

He was previously sentenced to 10 years in prison for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand 14 years ago.

A jury had found Cosby guilty of three counts of aggravated indecent assault.

One of Cosby’s accusers, Victoria Valentino says she is “stunned” by the court’s decision… telling the media “for this to come out of left field is a gut punch… there’s no other way to describe it.”

The White House has not directly responded to the news, but says “the President has long been an advocate for fighting against violence against women, for ensuring that we are raising the voices and the stories of people who have been survivors of sexual assault.”

One of Bill Cosby’s representatives told reporters “I want to thank the attorneys who successfully argued his appeal and especially Mrs. Cosby who stood strong and was here for Mr. Cosby every step of the way.. she always knew that he was innocent”.

The U.S. unemployment rate climbed to 4.6% in November, marking its highest level in more than four years and signalling a cooling labour market. Despite job gains during the month, broader trends suggest increasing pressure across the economy.
