State Board Recommends Bill Cosby be Labeled a Sexually Violent Predator


Earlier this year 81-year-old comedian Bill Cosby was convicted on three counts of aggravated indecent assault for drugging and sexually molesting Andrea Constand at his home in Pennsylvania back in 2004 [click here if you missed that].

Now the state board wants Cosby to register as a sex offender and be labeled as a sexually violent predator....

From USA Today
The judge in Bill Cosby's sexual-assault case must now decide whether the comedian should be classified as a "sexually violent predator" on the recommendation of a Pennsylvania state board. The designation would require him to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life and undergo treatment.
The findings were revealed Tuesday when Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin R. Steele filed a motion asking Judge Steven O'Neill to set a hearing where he will decide whether or not to accept the board's recommendation.
Such a recommendation signals that Cosby demonstrated a number of the traits of a sexually violent predator, which state law defines as "a person convicted of one or more of a sexually violent offenses specified in the law and who has a mental abnormality or personality disorder that makes the person likely to engage in predatory sexually violent offenses."
Bill Cosby's sentencing date is set for Sept 24 and 25, 2018.
