    Bill Cosby has been found guilty of sexually assaulting a teenager back in 1975 at the Playboy Mansion

    He stated he did not recall the occurrence in a videotaped deposition and that he would never pursue a person under the age of 18.

    Digital Desk: When the TV personality
    invited Judy Huth and a friend to the notorious California residence, Judy was
    only 16 years old.



    She
    said that Cosby, who was 37 at the time, had forced her to engage in sexual
    activity with him.



    The
    entertainer was convicted guilty of sexual assault by a California court, and
    the victim was given $500,000 in compensation.



    According
    to Reuters, Cosby did not show up in person for the trial but maintained his
    innocence throughout.



    He
    stated he did not recall the occurrence in a videotaped deposition and that he
    would never pursue a person under the age of 18.



    The
    highest court in Pennsylvania reversed Cosby's conviction for a different
    sexual assault last year.



    The
    court reached its conclusion after discovering that a deal with a former
    prosecutor protected him from being indicted in the case.



    Of
    his three to ten-year sentence, Cosby has already served more than two years.



    In
    2008, at his suburban mansion, he was found guilty of drugging and sexually
    assaulting former basketball player Andrea Constand.



    Days
    before the 12-year statute of limitations expired, he was detained and accused
    in 2015 on the basis of fresh evidence.



    During
    his initial trial, only one accuser testified against him. A new trial was
    mandated since the jury could not agree on a verdict.



    The
    judge at the retrial permitted five additional victims to testify against Cosby
    about alleged encounters in the 1980s.



    After
    having his conviction reversed and being let out of prison, Bill Cosby is
    attempting to relaunch his career.



    The
    disgraced entertainer was shielded from prosecution in the case by a deal that
    was discovered by Pennsylvania's highest court with a former prosecutor.



    After
    being found guilty of drugging and assaulting former basketball player Andrea
    Constand at his suburban house in 2008, Cosby had already completed more than
    two years of his three-to-10-year sentence.



    Despite
    being 83 years old, it seems Cosby won't spend his newfound freedom hiding out.



    According
    to the New York Times, the former TV personality has partnered with Michelle
    Major to produce a five-part documentary series on his case. Cosby stated that
    the documentary is almost finished, and all that's left to complete is his
    interview, which he hopes to conduct in the coming weeks.



    Major
    worked as the executive producer of Vice Media's Black Lives Matters: A Global
    Reckoning and attended Cosby's trial.



    In
    addition to the documentary, he stated that he would "probably"
    contribute to a book on the trial. It is unclear at this time if he will write
    the book himself or simply provide commentary and quotes to a biographer.



    According
    to the New York Post, Cosby declared that his goal is to "get the truth
    out and make people recognise that this is serious and it must be told what
    happened."



    "We
    cannot relent. We need to organise. Black journalists, black male authors, and
    black female writers all need to put pen to paper and spread the truth, so we
    need to involve the NAACP and Crisis Magazine, "said he.



    He
    seeks to collaborate with individuals, groups, and networks that assist those
    who have been falsely charged, tried, and convicted.



    He
    does, however, also intend to resume performing stand-up comedy in front of
    live audiences.



    According
    to a "well-known celebrity crisis communications consultant" who
    desired to stay anonymous, Cosby's relaunched career won't be welcomed by those
    who have followed his case.



    This
    may be the best course of action among the few available options for someone
    whose reputation has been severely damaged, the doctor stated.



    "This
    strategy could perhaps salvage something positive for his legacy if he follows
    through on highlighting and possibly funding the successful appeals of others
    alleging excessive prosecutorial misconduct."But, with so many accusations
    and such damning testimony against him, it will not rehabilitate his image."
