FULL TITLE: Bill Cosby, 81, is handcuffed and led straight to prison after a judge sentenced him to between three and 10 YEARS for drugging and assaulting a woman over a decade ago - and branded him a 'sexually violent predator'

Bill Cosby emerged from a Pennsylvania courtroom in handcuffs and was led straight to state prison on Tuesday after being sentenced to three to 10 years for drugging and molesting a woman more than a decade ago.

Judge Steven O'Neill handed down Cosby's sentence on Tuesday afternoon as the 81-year-old comedian sat back in his chair with his head on the headrest.

The comic who was once known as America's Dad was denied bail and escorted from the courtroom in handcuffs while carrying his walking stick.

'This was a serious crime. It is time for justice. Mr Cosby, this has all circled back to you. The time has come,' O'Neill said in sentencing him. 'No one is above the law, and no one should be treated differently.'

The punishment came at the end of a two-day hearing at which the judge also declared Cosby a 'sexually violent predator'.

The classification means that Cosby must undergo lifetime counseling and report quarterly to authorities. His name will also appear on a sex-offender registry sent to neighbors, schools and victims.

Cosby, who was also fined $25,000 and ordered to pay prosecution costs, declined the opportunity to address the court during his sentencing.

His wife of 54 years, Camille, was not in court during Cosby's sentencing.

It's not that I don't believe something happened it's that they waited so long to report it.

"No one is above the law". Why is it that every time I hear that, I think of the Clintons?

there lots of reasons no one reports. I’m glad that fat slob is going straight to the pokey, and i hope he does his time.

Something tells me that Camille is disposing of assets or re-titling things into her name.

SHE is guilty, also, IMO.

SHE was his ‘agent & manager for all of his professional life. SHE signed EVERY SINGLE CHECK ever issued out of his earnings. IF any women got paid off-—CAMILLE had to have known about it.
She deserves the shame he has escaped, IMO.

I was just going to write that, but figured I better read the comments first.

No only Clinton’s, but Lynch, Holder, Brennan, McCabe, Page, Strzok, Rice,...the whole damn cabal is above the law.

I just laugh and shake my head when some judge says that.

We brought him into this [public] world, and we'll take him out.

I posted the verdict in breaking over 2 hours ago, at 11:17 a.m. and it was abruptly put into chat. Seems a bit odd.☺

That would have taken place a loooong time ago.
