Bill Cosby was found guilty on Thursday of three counts of aggravated indecent assault in his retrial.
Hollywood celebrities took to Twitter soon after to voice their approval of the verdict and support for the victims.
Bill Cosby was found guilty on Thursday of three counts of aggravated indecent assault, and faces up to 10 years in prison for each count.
Hollywood celebrities took to Twitter soon after to voice approval for the verdict and throw their support behind the dozens of women who have accused Cosby of sexual misconduct.
Cosby's conviction was for the drugging and sexual assault of Andrea Constand in 2004, but more than 60 women have come forward with their own allegations against the disgraced comedian.
Actor and activist Rose McGowan said she was "profoundly happy that Cosby's victims, his survivors are shedding tears of relief today."
Comedian Larry Wilmore tweeted a 2016 video from his now-canceled Comedy Central program "The Nightly Show." The video is a segment from the show titled "I Haven't Forgotten About You, Motherf------" about Cosby.

With Bill Cosby’s guilty verdict I hope these women find some peace and that all those who have not been able to find justice in other instances with other men have hope that they too will be heard. Zero tolerance of sexual harassment. #TimesUp https://t.co/5MHTsbp2Bz Tweet Embed:

I hope Cosby’s victims feel there was some justice done today. What he did was unforgivable. I wonder if he will show any remorse at sentencing and if his other victims will get a chance to speak. https://t.co/9R7G3nJLR1

Just because you're rich and powerful doesn't mean another person’s body is automatically available for sex. Consent must be given.#BillCosby Tweet Embed:
