BILL COSBY'S downfall from "America's Dad" to convicted felon will reach its final chapter in a Pennsylvania courtroom on Monday, when a judge will begin deciding whether to sentence the 80-year-old comedian to prison for sexual assault.
Cosby, who was found guilty in April, is the first celebrity to be convicted since the start of the #MeToo movement, the national reckoning with sexual misconduct that has brought down dozens of powerful men in entertainment, politics and other industries. The once beloved star of the 1980s television comedy The Cosby Show has seen his family-friendly reputation destroyed by allegations of sexual abuse from more than 50 women going back decades.
