Bill Cosby was sentenced to three to 10 years in state prison on Sept. 25, after being found guilty in April of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman, according to the Associated Press.

On the second day of his sentence hearing, judge Steven O'Neil also ruled that Cosby will be classified as a SVP (sexually violent predator), though his defense argued against the classification. The classification means that Cosby's address, job and travel plans have to be communicated to the state and all the information about his whereabouts will be made public.

Montgomery County Sheriff's Office

In April, Bill Cosby was found guilty on three counts of felony aggravated indecent assault stemming from a 2004 case involving Andrea Constand, an employee at his alma mater, Temple University. The jury reached the verdict in court in Norristown, Pennsylvania, during a retrial. The first trial on the same charges ended last year with a deadlocked jury. 

These were the first criminal charges leveraged against the Cosby Show star after more than 50 women came forward, accusing him of drugging and/or sexually assaulting them. The alleged incidents date as far back as 1969, though Cosby has denied all wrongdoing. 

To bring clarity to a complex series of troubling accounts, here is a timeline of the alleged incidents arranged in chronological order.

1. Kristina Ruehli
Year of Alleged Incident: 1965

Ruehli claimed in an interview withPhiladelphia Magazinethat Cosby sexually assaulted her when she was a 22-year-old secretary at a talent agency.

Ruehli alleges that Cosby invited her to a party at his home, but she was the only guest. Ruehli goes on to claim that she had a cocktail with Cosby and suddenly passed out. When she came to, Ruehli says she was in Cosby's bed and he allegedly tried to force her to perform oral sex on him.

Ruehli also spoke with Philadelphia Magazine on November 21, 2014, claiming that she was one of the 13 Jane Doe witnesses who was prepared to testify against Cosby during Andrea Constand's civil suit.

She goes on to allege that at one point, she and Cosby ended up alone together, and he allegedly pulled her close and kissed her roughly as she tried to fight him off.

She said Cosby invited her to help create material for his short-lived sitcom, The Bill Cosby Show.

"I was sitting up writing one second, and the next second I was lying down on the couch having my underwear taken off," Tarshis alleges in an interview with CBS News. She went on to claim that Cosby raped her twice.

Valentino claimed in an interview with The Washington Post in November 2014 that Cosby drove her and her roommate up to an apartment in the Hollywood Hills, where she alleges that he forced her to perform oral sex and then, Valentino claims, he raped her.

"What kind of credibility did I have?" Valentino said, explaining her decision to not report the alleged incident at the time. "In those days, it was always the rape victim who wound up being victimized. You didn't want to go to the police. That's the last thing you wanted to do back then."

Fox alleges that Cosby engaged in nonconsensual sexual activity with her while she was "incapacitated."

According to Green, Cosby gave her pills that would help with her flu symptoms, and before long she was nearly unconscious. Green went on to claim that Cosby took her back to her home, undressed her and began groping her.

"I actually told him that he would have to kill me, that if he didn't kill me and he tried to rape me, it was going to go very badly," Green said. "I guess it was inconvenient at that point, I had not been crushed successfully into submission, and he left two $100 bills on my coffee table and he left my apartment."

Green spoke out again in 2014, even writing an op-ed for ETonline in which she detailed the adversity she encountered after sharing her story. "To go for help and be dismissed because he's very cool and famous and you are not," she wrote. "It is crushing and you are a victim all over again."

"My next memory is I felt high; I don't remember what happened in the meantime. Then my next memory is being in that vanity room, by that big mirror, and he didn't have any clothes on, and obviously I didn't either by that point. I don't know how they got off. I don't have that memory… I was just like bent over, and he was saying all kinds of dirty stuff," she said. "I felt powerless, I didn't know what to do."

Serignese also claims to be one of the 13 Jane Doe witnesses that were prepared to testify against Cosby during Andrea Constand's 2005 civil suit before it was settled out of court in 2006. Barbara Bowman and Beth Ferrier, two other Cosby accusers, were also allegedly Jane Doe witnesses. However, Bowman and Ferrier both went public with their accusations in 2006.

16. Shawn Brown
Year of Alleged Incident: Mid-1970s

Brown, the only woman that Cosby ever admitted having a sexual relationship with, claims in an interview with The Daily Mail that Cosby drugged and raped her, despite her previous willingness to sleep with him.

She claims that Cosby convinced her to drink alcohol, got her high on marijuana, and then had sex with her after she blacked out. "I had never really been into him, and the other times I had really just been going through the motions," Brown said. "I don't think I was freaky enough for him, and that's why he drugged me."

Brown claims she became pregnant from the affair and gave birth to a daughter, Autumn Jackson, whom Cosby secretly helped support.

In December 2015, Cosby filed a lawsuit against Johnson for defamation, defamation per se and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

"Mr. Cosby states that he never drugged the defendant and her story is a lie," a press release from Cosby's lawyer, Monique Pressley, reads. "The suit further states that defendant’s entirely fabricated accusations are nothing more than an opportunistic attempt to resuscitate her own career and benefit herself financially from the wave of media attention surrounding her false allegations against Mr. Cosby."

Bowman alleges that this was the first in a string of instances that took place that year, including an assault in Atlantic City when Cosby drugged her and forcibly attempted to rape her.

"[Cosby] threw me on the bed and braced his arm under my neck so I couldn't move my head, and he started trying to take his clothes off," she toldPeople magazine in 2006. "I remember all the clinking of his belt buckle. And he was trying to take my pants down, and I was trying to keep them on."

"He, out of nowhere, started to walk past me, and crouched in front of my knees, grabbed my legs, and tried to pull them apart… I just remember I was so shocked… All I wanted to do was get out of there because I was in an unsafe environment and that's what I did."

In January 2004, she says she met with Cosby at his home in Pennsylvania and alleges that he gave her pills that he said would ease her anxiety. Constand claims that after drugging her, Cosby groped and sexually assaulted her.

In March 2005, Constand filed civil charges against Cosby, and 13 unidentified women agreed to serve as Jane Doe witnesses to testify that they too were sexually assaulted by Cosby. The case was settled out of court for an unspecified amount in November 2006, and the 13 witnesses didn't get the chance to take the stand.

In December 2015, Cosby was arraigned on one charge of aggravated indecent assault in connection to Constand's accusation. He posted $1 million bail and was free until a Jan. 14, 2016, follow-up court date.

In July 2015, Cosby's deposition from the 2005 lawsuit was released, and it was revealed that Cosby admitted to having given Costand three half-pills of Benadryl, after admitting, in more generic terms, to having obtained sedatives to use with women.

Constand's attorney asked Cosby, "When you got the Quaaludes, was it in your mind that you were going to use these Quaaludes for young women that you wanted to have sex with?"

Cosby answered simply, "Yes."

In December 2015, Cosby was arraigned on one charge of aggravated indecent assault in connection to Constand's accusation. The charge is considered a second degree felony and carries a maximum penalty of 5-10 years in prison and a $25,000 fine.
The comedian's bail was set at $1 million with additional conditions of surrendering his passport and having no contact with the alleged victim. He posted $100,000 (10 percent of the bail, as required) and was released.

Cosby's attorneys gave a statement to ET prior to his June 5 court date. "Mr. Cosby is no stranger to discrimination and racial hatred, and throughout his career Mr. Cosby has always used his voice and his celebrity to highlight the commonalities and has portrayed the differences that are not negative -- no matter the race, gender and religion of a person," read the statement. "The time has come to shine a spotlight on the trampling of Mr. Cosby's civil rights."

In April 2018, Cosby was found guilty of three counts of felony aggravated indecent assault against Constand. Each covers a different aspect of the alleged crime -- count one alleges that Cosby wasn't given consent when he penetrated Constand's genitals with his fingers, count two alleges Constand was unconscious (or semi-conscious) at the time and could not give consent and count three alleges all of this happened after he gave her an intoxicant that impaired her ability to fight him off.

In September, Cosby was was sentenced to three to 10 years in state prison.

Year of Alleged Incident: 2008

In December 2016, Goins filed a lawsuit against Cosby, alleging sexual assault at the Playboy Mansion and accusing Hugh Hefner of negligence and conspiracy to commit sexual battery. The suit alleges that after drinking a beverage Cosby brought her, she “began to feel ill.” The lawsuit further claims that both Hefner and Cosby saw that Goins was “woozy,” and Goins says Hefner suggested that she go “lie down” in a bedroom at the mansion. “Goins is informed and believed that Defendant Cosby put some type of drug or narcotic in the drink,” the document reads.

After women started coming forward alleging sexual abuse, Cosby's career took a turn. An NBC show he was to star in was scrapped, The Cosby Show reruns were pulled from TV Land and Netflix never released his stand-up comedy special.
