Supreme Court declines to review court decision overturning Bill Cosby's sexual assault conviction

The Supreme Court announced Monday it will leave in place an opinion by a Pennsylvania court that overturned comedian Bill Cosby's sexual assault conviction.

The decision was in response to Pennsylvania prosecutors' request to review the decision by the state's highest court.

Cosby was convicted of aggravated indecent assault in 2018 for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand roughly 14 years earlier in his Pennsylvania home.

The 84-year-old entertainer was sentenced to three to 10 years in a state prison. He was released from prison in June 2021 after the state's Supreme Court overturned the conviction, saying Cosby's due process rights had been violated, according to CNN.
