Bill Cosby’s second trial on sexual assault charges ended on Thursday with the embattled entertainer found guilty of three counts of aggravated indecent assault and ordered to remain confined to his home pending sentencing.

A Pennsylvania jury yesterday found the iconic comic guilty of drugging and sexually-violating Andrea Constand, his one-time mentee, in his home in 2004.

Although Cosby had claimed that the act was consensual, the jury found him guilty after 52 hours of deliberations.

State law could allow a maximum possible penalty of 10 years per charge — or 30 years total.

Meanwhile, Thomas Mesereau, Cosby’s Lawyer, has expressed disappointment with the verdict. His lawyers have also said that he will appeal.

Defiant Cosby, 80, waved his hand up high as he left Montgomery County Courthouse in Norristown, Pennsylvania yesterday.

The married star showed no emotion and looked down at the table in front of him as the verdicts were read — prompting some of his victims in the gallery to burst into tears.
