Bill Cosby was released last June after Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court overturned his rape conviction, ruling that his constitutional rights had been violated during the prosecution.
The conviction was a stunning milestone in the #MeToo movement, with Cosby — who has been accused of— becoming the first major celebrity to be convicted of sexual assault and sentenced to prison time.
In a statement on Monday, Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin R. Steele thanked the US Supreme Court for considering the case, and said he accepted their decision. "My appreciation also goes to Andrea Constand," Steele added."All crime victims deserve to be heard, treated with respect and be supported through their day in court. I wish her the best as she moves forward in her life.”
