The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to consider reinstating Bill Cosby’s 2018 sexual assault conviction, effectively ending a nearly two-decade legal saga that briefly saw the 84-year-old comedian incarcerated.
Cosby was found guilty by a Montgomery County jury in 2018 of drugging and assaulting accuser Andrea Constand in his Elkins Park home in 2004.
Though there is no written record of such an agreement, Castor has testified that he struck a deal with Cosby’s attorneys in 2005 that he’d never be prosecuted for the alleged assault if he would sit for a deposition in a civil case that Constand filed against him. That suit settled for $3.4 million.
