Bill Cosby’s Day of Reckoning Arrives

|Updated:

NORRISTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA—Facing the possibility of prison at 81, Bill Cosby arrived at a suburban Philadelphia courthouse on Sept. 25, to learn his punishment for drugging and sexually assaulting a woman over a decade ago in what led to the first celebrity trial of the #MeToo era.

Prosecutors on Monday asked a judge to give the comedian five to 10 years behind bars, while his lawyers asked for house arrest, saying the legally blind Cosby is too old and helpless to do time in prison.
