On April 26, a Pennsylvania jury handed down a historic verdict, finding Bill Cosby guilty on three counts of aggravated indecent assault for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand at his home in a Philadelphia suburb in 2004.

Far too often powerful executives and celebrities have escaped conviction on such crimes, but now justice has prevailed. There were a number of unique elements to this case, including the fact that Cosby had settled previously with Constand for a reported $3.38 million. Constand reported the assault to police in 2005, a year after it occurred, but she chose not to file charges at that time.
