Bill Cosby asks Pennsylvania high court to review conviction Comedian Bill Cosby is appealing a court decision last month that upheld his conviction for drugging and sexually assaulting a woman in 2004Comedian Bill Cosby filed an appeal Thursday of a court decision last month that upheld his conviction for drugging and sexually assaulting a woman at his home. Cosby, 82, is serving a three- to 10-year prison term at a maximum-security state prison in Pennsylvania. Movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has been charged in New York with raping one woman sexually assaulting another. Cosby had been a mentor to the accuser whose allegations formed the basis of the case against him. Cosby, asserting his innocence, has said he will never express remorse to the parole board and therefore expects to serve the entire 10-year sentence.
