Bill Cosby Found Guilty of Sexual Assault After Years of Accusations

The jury in Bill Cosby’s retrial found the TV icon guilty of all three counts of aggravated indecent assault on Thursday for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand at his home in a Philadelphia suburb in 2004.

The 80-year-old comedian faces up to 10 years in prison on each count, but is likely to serve them concurrently. A sentencing hearing has not yet been scheduled, and he remains out on bail.

Cosby did not have an audible reaction to his conviction, but erupted shortly afterward. Minutes after the verdict, prosecutors asked the judge to revoke Cosby’s bail because they say he is a flight risk and has a private plane.

Cosby, who did not testify in the trial and has sat quietly throughout the proceedings, then stood up and yelled in a loud, booming voice: “He doesn’t have a plane, you asshole.”

Judge Steven O’Neill ruled that Cosby should not leave his Pennsylvania home, and that he would need to be fitted with a GPS tracking device.

The case was the first celebrity sexual assault trial since the #MeToo movement began last fall, and as such, represented a test of how the cultural movement translates into a courtroom arena.

Broadway World Best Female Vocalist and Bistro Award winner Quinn Lemley is back on the New York stage with her critically acclaimed show Rita Hayworth: The Heat Is On! — a bold, glamorous celebration of Hollywood’s original Love Goddess. Written and directed by Carter Inskeep, the show continues its record-release residency at The Triad Theater, honoring Lemley’s album Rita Hayworth Revealed, a Grammy® consideration and 2025 Josie Award nominee.

With sharp wit, emotional depth, and serious heat, Lemley doesn’t impersonate Rita — she channels her. Across 20 classic songs, she peels back the myth to reveal the real woman behind the icon: resilient, sensual, complicated, and fiercely human. From Gilda to headline-making romances with Orson Welles, Prince Aly Khan, and Howard Hughes, the show moves like a cinematic confession set to big band swing and smoky ballads.

Critics haven’t been subtle. The New York Times calls her “dazzling.” Cabaret Scenes says “sensual and spellbinding.” The New York Post nails it best: “You don’t even have to squint to see that Rita’s in the room.”

Upcoming Performance Dates (All Upcoming):

Venue: The Triad Theater, 158 West 72nd Street, New York City
Tickets: $25–$50 | $25 food & beverage minimum
Tickets available at www.TriadNYC.com or www.QuinnLemley.com/rita

On Television: Secrets of the Stage
Beyond the cabaret spotlight, Lemley also brings her storytelling instincts to the screen on Secrets of the Stage, a television series that pulls back the curtain on the real lives of performers. The show explores what happens before the lights come up and after the applause fades — the pressure, the craft, the vulnerability, and the drive that fuel live performance. It’s an unfiltered look at artistry from the inside out, and Lemley fits right in: fearless, polished, and never phoning it in.

If you want glamour with substance — and a little danger — this one’s still burning hot.
