Bill Cosby has been found guilty of three counts of sexual assault. The 80-year-old disgraced entertainment legend initially showed no emotion when the verdict was given, and was reported as ‘looking down at the table.’
However, when District Attorney Kevin Steele asked the judge to have Cosby taken into custody immediately, claiming he was a flight risk because he ‘owned a plane.’
Cosby reportedly stood up and yelled, ‘He doesn’t have a plane, you a**hole’.
The explosive outburst pprompted Judge Steven O’Neill to assert, ‘That’s enough!’
Judge O’Neill ruled that Cosby could remain free on $US1 million bail but must surrender his passport. He was ordered to stay in Montgomery County pending his sentencing, which was not scheduled.
‘Because of his age, his medical issues, I am not going to simply lock him up because of this,’ said Mr O’Neill.
Cosby faces up to 10 years behind bars on each of the three counts of aggravated indecent assault and a fine of up to $US25,000.
The ‘TV dad’ waved to the crowd outside the courthouse, got into a car and left without comment.
