According to the arrest warrant, Andrea admitted that Bill gave her pills and touched her private parts. After a year of the incident, Andrea’s mother, Gianna Constand, realized that her daughter had sleepless nights and always preferred to stay away from her friends.

After the second trial on June 5, 2017, Cosby was found guilty of the assault and thus was kept on house arrest with an ankle GPS bracelet. However, after few other court sessions, Cosby was identified as a violent sexual predator and was directed for imprisonment by the attorney Steven O’Neill.

The news of Cosby getting released was surfaced on June 30th, after which Andrea Constand expressed her disappointment with the law by saying,

“Today`s majority decision regarding is not only disappointing but of concern in that it may discourage those who seek justice for sexual assault in the criminal justice system from reporting or participating in the prosecution of the assailant or may force a victim to choose between filing either a criminal or civil action.” 

Constand was set to release a book about Cosby`s sexual assaults, and it`s the aftermath. But the accused got released before the release of the text in the memoir of all the incidents.
