DENVER (KDVR) – The Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned Bill Cosby’s sexual assault conviction on Wednesday. Cosby will be released from prison after serving more than two years of a three to 10 year sentence in a state prison near Philadelphia.

Cosby was convicted in 2018 of drugging and assaulting Andrea Constand in his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004.

Constand is one of some 60 women who have accused Cosby of sexual misconduct.

Two of Cosby’s sexual assault accusers are from Colorado.

One of these women is Beth Ferrier.

“I’m Jane Doe No. 5. There were 13 of us. I ran in 2005,” Ferrier said in 2015.

Ferrier said he met Cosby in New York in 1984.

“He drugged me in ’86. He drugged me after one of his concerts here. He was really fucked up because I wouldn’t meet him at dinner or go to Oxford [Hotel in downtown Denver].

Another Colorado woman, Heidi Thomas, was one of five women who testified in the case against him.

She said Cosby assaulted her when she was 24 while trying to launch an acting career. She said he offered to train her, but he drugged and sexually assaulted her.

No one would have believed that Mr. Jell-O Pudding Pop Dr. Huxtable was capable of rape and sexual assault. I would have been made fun of the planet, shared Thomas in 2016.

Women have alleged that Cosby has assaulted them in the past 40 years. Most of the allegations have passed statute of limitations, preventing criminal justice action.

In May, Cosby was denied parole after refusing to participate in sex offender programs during his nearly three years in state prison.
