Disgraced comedian Bill Cosby has lost his appeal to overturn his sexual assault conviction

A Pennsylvania appeals court rejected his lawyers' argument that the trial judge had deprived him of a fair trial.

Dozens of women have accused Cosby of sexual assault over several decades.

He became the first celebrity to be convicted in the MeToo era when a jury found him guilty in April 2018 of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman at his home in 2004.
