Bill Cosby was found guilty of three counts of aggravated indecent assault Thursday, sparking a flurry of celebratory reactions from those who felt the longtime alleged predator had finally gotten his due.
The 80-year-old disgraced comedian and “Cosby Show” star was on trial for drugging and assaulting Andrea Constand in 2004.
For many disheartened by last year’s mistrial, the verdict brought a sense of relief.
“It’s just wonderful. I feel like every one of us has been vindicated. I’m in tears,” Cosby accuser Sunni Welles told the Daily News after hearing the verdict.
“I’m just so thrilled he’s likely going to spend some time in jail. I don’t even care if it’s only a short sentence. He just needs to go to jail,” she said.
