A jury of 7 men and 5 women found Bill Cosby Guilty on Thursday of sexually assaulting and drugging a woman at his home over a decade ago.

 

According to the NY Times, after careful discussions "the jury returned to convict Mr. Cosby of three counts of aggravated indecent assault against Andrea Constand, at the time a Temple University employee he had mentored.

 

The three counts Cosby is convicted of are penetration after administering an intoxicant, penetration while unconscious, and penetration with lack of consent.  Each count serves up to 10 years in prison.

 

Cosby lashed out at District Attorney Kevin Steele yelling, "I'm sick of him!" after requesting the former TV star to be sent to jail soon after the verdict.

 

Some of Cosby's accusers reacted to the verdict with tears and joy.  

 

A sentencing date has yet to be set.
