Just in.

The news has just broken that actor Bill Crosby will do 10 years in a state prison for sexual assault.

Cosby, who is 81-years-old, has also been categorised as a sexually violent predator by the trial.

This means that he must undergo counselling for life and be listed on the sex offender registry.

The actor, who rose to fame while starring in The Bill Cosby Show, was found guilty of three counts of sexual assault for drugging and molesting Andrea Constand in 14 years ago.

In June 2017, Constand gave a statement, where she described how Bill Cosby assaulted her:

She said that he “gave her pills that left her “frozen” and unable to stop his assault.

“To truly understand the impact that the sexual assault has had on my life, you have to understand the person that I was before it happened.”

“Bill Cosby took my beautiful, healthy young spirit and crushed it. He robbed me of my health and vitality, my open nature, and my trust in myself and others.”
