Cosby was found guilty of sexually assaulting Andrea Constand in his home in 2004 after giving her unidentified pills. As a result, Cosby was unable to avoid testifying as part of a civil lawsuit that Ms Constand brought against him, since defendants can only refuse to testify when faced with criminal prosecution.

he is out because of technicality ? lovely ...

FREE FREEDOM! FREE ASSAANGE! The World can not be Complaining about other erring Nations like Chine, when they are themselves behaving like the erring Nation. Exonerate not Extradite Assange

So much for the USA legal system

Letting people who have obviously committed a crime go on legal technicalities and errors by lawyers is an indictment of the whole US legal system .. pathetic and immoral in itself !!

I expect he's going to have to pay a lot for protection now, though whom is going to be willing to protect him is a good question..

And you wonder why women don't come forward...!!

Surprised he went to prison in the first place

I guess I’m not surprised. Pell also walked free. Meanwhile- Julian Assange is locked up, and for what?

But he'll never be able to eat in a restaurant with confidence that nobody's spat in his food!

wtf is going on?

Watch out ladies…he is on the lose…
