Bill Cosby has been forced to hear from Andrea Constand’s heartbroken family during his sentencing for sexual assault — with the depraved comic being blasted by Andrea’s mother for using “every powerful tool at his disposal to destroy our reputations to protect and shield his reputation.” Andrea herself looked her assailant in her eyes while passing on making a new statement to Cosby, simply telling Judge Steven O’Neill: “Your honor, I have testified…All I am asking for is justice as the Court sees fit.” Andrea’s parents, however, had plenty to say about supporting their daughter through three different trials since Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her in 2004…

How did she have the courage to come forward, and how will she ever trust again?"
