Bill Cosby found guilty of sexual assault

American comedian Bill Cosby has been convicted on three counts of sexual assault.

He's been found guilty of drugging and assaulting Andrea Constand in 2004.

Cosby could face 30 years in prison for the act.

Ms Constand is just one of dozens of women who have accused Cosby of drugging and raping them.

Cosby denies the allegations, saying his sexual encounters were consensual.
