WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A three-year-old comedian, Bill Cosby, was jailed on charges of assaulting a woman more than a decade ago, a US court ruled on Thursday.
Immediately after the verdict, Cosby was immediately detained, after his lawyer's request was rejected, to release his 81-year-old client on bail until the verdict was appealed. Cosby was released from the courtroom with his hands tied. Cosby, who was accused by more than 50 women of assault, appeared after the verdict, wearing a white shirt and not looking at the camera. The court ordered the jury fined $ 25,000 and paid for the trial. The Cosby family did not attend the verdict.
The lawyers of the representative will challenge the conviction of their client, which may refer the case to a higher body, which may take several years.
