The former Temple University basketball administrator’s 2004 testimony — and Cosby’s damning admission of using powerful prescription medication to sexually assault incapacitated women — led to Cosby’s 2018 conviction and a three to 10 year prison sentence.
However, the Philadelphia Supreme Court ruled that since Cosby was guaranteed by the district attorney’s office that he would not be prosecuted, the testimony used to convict him was therefore invalidated. Subsequently, the court ruled to release Cosby in June 2021.
Constand remains adamant that the ordeal to herself and her family has been “worth it.”
“I have come way too far to go back to that place to wonder whether it’s all worth it, or to have regrets. It was worth it. But it was worth it because I didn’t feel alone. I had a whole community, a whole army of women and other survivors, strangers, family, friends, who were right there with me.”
