Because the three charges of assault against women Cosby has been found guilty of stemmed from the same event, prosecutors decided to merge all of them into one charge, therefore reducing Cosby's maximum prison sentence from 30 years to 10. Claiming that he had "shown no remorse," for assaulting Andre Constand, prosecutors recently asked a judge to sentence him from five to ten years. Cosby's defense attorney asked that he be placed uner house arrest, noting his old age and blindness.
Bill Cosby, one of the great comedians of the world, has regrettably ruined his image, career, and even livelihood because of the terrible decision he made almost 14 years ago. Unfortunately, there have been many other cases of sexual misconduct in not only recent years, but dating to further back than even the current millenium (there were a few big sex scandals involving the Catholic church).
Another fairly recent accusation against a comedian occured in November of 2017, when the renowned Louis C.K. admitted to engaging in sexual misconduct with at least five women in the comedy world. he appeared unannounced on a stage at a comedy club last August which was his first appearance since the accusation.

I think that Bill Cosbys actions shouldn't be taken lightly because he is famous, I am not glad that he is going to jail, although I am glad that some justice has been served.
