6:49 P.M. UPDATE: Carnegie Mellon University announced it has revoked an honorary degree given to Bill Cosby in 2007.

"The university will not tolerate sexual violence, intimate partner violence, stalking or sexual harassment. These acts are against the law and violate our core values," the school said in a statement.

ORIGINAL STORY: Bill Cosby was convicted Thursday of drugging and molesting a woman in the first big celebrity trial of the #MeToo era, completing the spectacular late-life downfall of a comedian who broke racial barriers in Hollywood on his way to TV super-stardom as America's Dad.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BILL COSBY

Cosby, 80, could end up spending his final years in prison after a jury concluded he sexually violated Temple University employee Andrea Constand at his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004. He claimed the encounter was consensual.

He lashed out at prosecutors after a jury convicted him of three counts of aggravated indecent assault.

The jury deliberated for almost a day and a half.

Cosby stood up and erupted after jurors left the courtroom. He used an expletive to refer to Montgomery County district attorney Kevin Steele, who was arguing to revoke Cosby's bail. Cosby shouted, "I'm sick of him!"

"Andrea Constand came here for justice and that's what 12 jurors provided her," Steele said.

"We are very disappointed by the verdict," said Thomas Mesereau, Cosby's defense attorney. "Mr Cosby is not guilty of anything and the fight is not over."

TRENDING NOW:

He could get up to 10 years in prison on each of the three counts of aggravated indecent assault. He is likely to get less than that under state sentencing guidelines, but given his age, even a modest term could mean he will die behind bars.

It's the second time the comedian and actor has stood trial on these charges; the first last year ended in a hung jury when jurors from Allegheny County couldn't reach a decision.

While numerous women have accused the entertainer of misconduct ranging from groping to sexual assault, Constand's allegations are the only ones that led to criminal charges.

Cosby's defense team was allowed to call Constand's former colleague at Temple University, Marguerite Jackson, who testified that Constand spoke of framing a high-profile person in order to file a lawsuit and get money.

But according to prosecutors, Cosby was nothing like the image he portrayed on television.

In the retrial, the judge allowed jurors to hear testimony from five other alleged victims who all described in similar detail their stories of Cosby drugging and preying upon them.

The judge has released Cosby on bail and he is under house arrest until sentencing.

No date has been announced for that, but it's expected to happen in the next 60 to 90 days.
