YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A judge Tuesday ruled that convicted comedian Bill Cosby is a "sexually violent predator," a designation that includes lifelong notification and counseling requirements, during the second day of his sentencing hearing.

Judge Steven O'Neill made his decision about "predator" status in advance of sentencing Cosby, who was convicted in April of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman in 2004.

O'Neill still must decide if and for how long Cosby, 81, will go to prison for his 2004 sexual assault of Andrea Constand.

The judge heard final prosecution and defense remarks during the morning session and is expected to announce Cosby's sentence, including whether he will go to prison, at 1:30 p.m. EDT.

“This should be a state-prison sentence and this should be a sentence that happens today,” district attorney Kevin Steele told the judge.

Before the sentencing hearing, a Pennsylvania state board recommended that Cosby be designated a "sexually violent predator," a classification that mandates registration as a sex offender, community notification of his whereabouts and lifelong counseling.
