Andrea Constand v. William H. Cosby, Jr.

''Andrea Constand v. William H. Cosby, Jr.'' is a civil suit filed in March 2005 and resolved with an undisclosed cash settlement (including a confidentiality agreement between its two parties) in November 2006. It was later revealed that the amount paid to Constand was $3.38 million. The case was filed by Andrea Constand, a former college and Canadian national team basketball player, against comedian and entertainer Bill Cosby, concerning a sexual assault that occurred in Cosby's home in January 2004 while Constand was working for Temple University women's basketball team in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. At that time, no criminal charges were filed.

On December 30, 2015, however, Cosby was charged with three second-degree felony counts of aggravated indecent assault as a result of the accusations made by Constand about the January 2004 incident, including revelations in Cosby's 2005 deposition in the case which came to public and investigators' attention when they were unsealed by a judge in 2015.

In 2018, Cosby was found guilty of all three counts against Constand. He was subsequently sentenced to 3–10 years in state prison. On June 30, 2021, however, Cosby's convictions and sentences were vacated by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania due to violations of his due process rights. Provided by Wikipedia
