New York: Once dubbed “America’s Dad”, comedian Bill Cosby, 81, has been labelled a “sexually violent predator” by a US court, implying that he must undergo counselling for life and appear on the sex offenders’ registry.
The Pennsylvania judge made the ruling ahead of sentencing the comedian for drugging and molesting a woman at his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004, reports bbc.com.
At a retrial in April, Cosby was found guilty of three counts of sexual assault against Andrea Constand.
The actor’s defence team had argued the state’s sex offender law was too severe given Cosby’s age, as well as the fact that he is legally blind.
