Judge Rules Bill Cosby As A ‘Sexually Violent Predator’

This just in. A Pennsylvania judge just ruled Bill Cosby as a “sexually violent predator.” Straight up.

A judge has ruled that Bill Cosby is a “sexually violent predator”.

The classification means that the 81-year-old TV actor will have to undergo lifetime counseling and report regularly to authorities.

His name will appear on a sex-offender registry which is sent to neighbours, schools and victims.

We’re still waiting on the formal sentencing. Prosecutors are asking for 5-10 years in prison.

Cosby’s lawyers had fought the “sexually violent predator” ruling, arguing that Pennsylvania’s sex-offender law is unconstitutional.

The judge said prosecutors had met their burden of proof by “clear and convincing” evidence.

But the “sexually violent predator” thing is gonna stick.
