The US comedian Bill Cosby had been found guilty of three counts of sexual assault.
Cosby 80, who is best remembered for his role in the 80s hit show The Cosby Show, was found guilty of drugging and assaulting ex-basketball player Andrea Constand in 2004.
Following a lengthy trial the actor/comedian was found guilty by a jury of his peers.
Cosby now faces the possibility spending 10 years in prison for each charge brought against him.
