Bill Cosby Gets 3 to 10 Years in Prison for Sexual Assault

|Updated:

NORRISTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA—His Hollywood career and good-guy image in ruins, an 81-year-old Bill Cosby was sentenced on Sept. 25, to 3 to 10 years behind bars for drugging and sexually assaulting a woman, becoming the first celebrity of the #MeToo era to be sent to prison.

The punishment all but completed the dizzying, late-in-life fall from grace for the comedian, former TV star, and breaker of racial barriers.
