Bill Cosby found guilty of sexual assault
Quote:
US comedian Bill Cosby has been found guilty of three counts of sexual assault.
The actor has been on trial for drugging and assaulting ex-basketball player Andrea Constand in 2004.
Cosby, 80, had denied Ms Constand's claims, with his lawyer branding her a "con artist".
He faces the possibility of 10 years in prison for each of the counts against him.
It was the second time the actor had stood trial for the allegations, after an earlier jury failed to reach a verdict in June 2017.
Cosby is best known for starring in the 1980s TV series The Cosby Show.
He has faced similar allegations from dozens of other women, but has denied them all, insisting any contact between himself and his accusers was consensual.
