“This was a serious crime,” Montgomery County Judge Steven T. O’Neill said. “Mr. Cosby, this has all circled back to you. The day has come, the time has come.”

Cosby, convicted in April of aggravated indecent assault, declined to speak to the court prior to the sentence in court in Pennsylvania. His attorneys have filed an appeal in the case. He also was ordered to pay a fine of $25,000 plus the costs of prosecution as part of the sentence.
