Chasing Cosby contains descriptions of violence, sexual content, and language that is not suitable for every audience.

It's April 26, 2018, and it's a pleasant sunny day in Pennsylvania.

But at the Montgomery County Courthouse in the criminal case against Bill Cosby,

All the evidence has been presented, and the jury is trying to decide if America's dad

drugged an assaulted Andrea Constant in 2004.

63 women have accused the 80-year-old comedian of similar crimes.

After deliberating for 14 hours, the jury reaches a verdict.

We're getting lined up, and that's kind of when it started hitting me that,

and just a few minutes, we would be delivering a verdict, and that was kind of a heavy,

emotional time frame for me at that point.

If he's found guilty on all three counts of aggravated indecenous assault,

Cosby could spend the rest of his life behind bars.

We knew the focus that was going to be on us.

We knew we were delivering the proper verdict.

The courtroom is silent as the jurors file in to take their seats.

For nearly half a century, Bill Cosby brought warmth and laughter into hearts across the country, cementing his image as “America’s Dad.” But he also led a dark, secret life preying on women. The comedian carefully coaxed each one into feeling safe and cared for, then left them to pick up the pieces of their lives. It all started with Andrea Constand. She carried the burden of being the only one of the 60-plus accusers whose case could be tried in a court of law. Now, she's telling her side of the story, along with firsthand accounts from more than a dozen survivors, jurors and prosecutors. From the Los Angeles Times, and hosted by investigative reporter Nicki Weisensee Egan, "Chasing Cosby" is the definitive take of the rise and fall of Bill Cosby.
