Bill Cosby has been released from prison after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned his 2018 conviction for sexual assault.
Cosby had served three years of a 3-10 year sentence at a maximum-security prison outside Philadelphia when the court ruled that a ‘non-prosecution agreement’ with a previous prosecutor meant that he should not have been charged in the case.
More than 50 women across the nation have accused Cosby of sexual assault and misconduct, but experts believe today’s ruling makes further prosecutions unlikely.
The former actor, 83, returned to his home in suburban Philadelphia Wednesday afternoon where, looking frail and walking slowly, he was helped inside by his lawyer and a spokesman, flashing a ‘V’ sign as he reached his front door.
