Bill Cosby has been convicted of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman at his home in 2004.

The 80-year-old comedian was found guilty by a Pennsylvania jury of three counts of sexual assault against Andrea Constand, a year after a previous trial in which the jury failed to reach a verdict.

Cosby has faced many previous accusations of sexual assault over the years, but this is the only case that has been brought to trial due to statute of limitations laws.

Many are now questioning whether the #MeToo movement has been influential in Cosby's conviction.

Patrick Haughey and Esther O'Moore Donoghue discussed this and more of the week's news stories in The Week Trending.
