Comedian Bill Cosby was jailed for 3 to 10 years for sexual assault after he was found guilty of three counts of sexual assault after drugging and molesting Andrea Constand.
Justice was served for not only Andrea Constand, but for women all over the world. This case is a glorified legacy of the #metoo movement where women all over the world spoke out about being sexually assaulted and sexually harassed. Before Constand was sexually assaulted she was on top of her game and viewed Cosby as a mentor, but after the assault she was ruined emotionally. She felt alone and ashamed and felt as though she couldn't trust anyone, even herself. Speaking out about cases of sexual assault is extremely hard for the victims and even though Constand could've lived a quiet life and dealt with the fact that Cosby ruined her "beautiful, healthy young spirit," she spoke out about her case.

I am glad justice is finally being given to girls around the world who have spoken out, but haven’t had a chance to be heard. It’s definitely a step in the right direction to show that sexual assault has consequences and it shouldn’t be a daily occurring thing. -Emma Hancock
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, but do you think the sentence was too short? What is your opinion on the fact that his attorneys are filing papers to keep him out of jail while they file an appeal?
DeleteI think it is so great that women are finally getting justice for all that has happened. It is so horrible that this happened in the first place but at least this is a step closer to getting rid of sexual assault especially in the work place.
ReplyDeleteI love how females are finally comfortable to speak out about this issue and their personal experiences of sexual assault. I think it's so brave of not only Andrea but all the women involved in the #metoo movement.

DeleteI think this took way too long but at least he does end up in jail.
ReplyDeleteI agree; it is unfortunate that during his first case it ended in the jurors not being in agreement and ending in mistrial.
DeleteIts so inspiring that she is so brave and that she is standing up even though this might hurt her so much. Also great how justice was served.

DeleteIt is inspiring that she was able to stand up to Cosby, and I think we all need to take a lesson from her about standing up for what we believe in.
