***** Bill Cosby had pudding in first prison meal: report
Disgraced comedian Bill Cosby reportedly had vanilla pudding as part of his first meal in a state prison after being sentenced three to 10 years on Tuesday.
Cosby, 81, now known as Inmate No. NN7687, will serve his sentence at SCI Phoenix, a new state prison in Schwenksville, Pa.
TMZ reported Cosby was served a chicken patty with gravy, vegetables, mashed potatoes and vanilla pudding for dessert.
Cosby famously appeared in a number of Jello commercials in the 1980s and 1990s, but it was not immediately clear if he was served Jello brand pudding in prison.
The former television superstar, who traded on a squeaky clean, fatherly image, was sentenced after being found guilty of three counts of felony aggravated indecent assault in April in one of the most widely publicized trials in modern history.
The once revered comedian was found guilty of sexual assault in April for drugging Andrea Constand, a former Temple University employee, in his Philadelphia home in 2004.
Bill Cosby has been convicted of drugging and molesting a woman in the first big celebrity trial of the #MeToo era.
A jury outside Philadelphia convicted the "Cosby Show" star of three counts of aggravated indecent assault on Thursday. The guilty verdict came less than a year after another jury deadlocked on the charges.
Cosby was charged with violating Temple University employee Andrea Constand at his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004. His lawyer called Constand a "con artist" who leveled false accusations against Cosby so she could sue him.
Cosby could get up to 10 years in prison on each of the counts.
Dozens of women have come forward in recent years to say he drugged and assaulted them. Five of the other accusers testified against him at the retrial.
The Associated Press does not typically identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault unless they grant permission. Constand has done so.

The jury is heading back to the courtroom and Bill Cosby's defense team is saying there's a verdict in his sexual assault retrial.
The panel of seven men and five women have been deliberating about 14 hours.
The 80-year-old comedian is accused of drugging and violating a woman at his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004.
He's charged with three counts of aggravated indecent assault. A conviction could put him in prison for up to 10 years on each count.
Prosecutors used Cosby's past admissions about drugs and sex as well as the testimony of five other women to help bolster accuser Andrea Constand's allegations. Cosby's lawyers argued Constand leveled false accusations against Cosby so she could sue him and extract a huge civil settlement.
It's the only criminal case to arise from allegations from more than 60 women.

The judge in Bill Cosby's sexual assault retrial says the six alternate jurors will get an hour with the courthouse comfort dog before being sent back to their hotel.
Judge Steven O'Neill said Thursday he planned to meet with the alternates to "let them know they're still important." After O'Neill mentioned the dog, Cosby stood up at the defense table and made a comical, barking-like motion with his mouth.
The alternate jurors are being kept away from the main panel of seven men and five women deliberating Cosby's fate.
The jury spent an hour listening to a court stenographer read back the testimony of defense witness Marguerite Jackson before they resumed talks.
Cosby is charged with drugging and molesting a woman in 2004. He says the woman consented.

Jurors at Bill Cosby's sexual assault retrial are having the testimony of the star defense witness read back to them.
The jury is back for Day 2 of deliberations. The panel of seven men and five women started its day Thursday by reviewing the testimony of Marguerite Jackson, who says Cosby's chief accuser spoke of framing a celebrity for the money.
Jackson is an academic adviser at Temple University, where Constand worked as a women's basketball administrator. Jackson testified that Constand told her she could fabricate sexual assault allegations and "get that money" from a lawsuit. Jackson's testimony bolstered Cosby's efforts to show Constand made up the allegations against him to extort a big civil settlement.

Bill Cosby has arrived at a suburban Philadelphia courthouse where jurors are deliberating in the comedian's sexual assault retrial.
The 80-year-old Cosby arrived on Thursday and said "good morning" twice as he entered the courthouse.
The jury of seven men and five women will start their second day of weighing charges by revisiting the testimony of a star defense witness who cast doubt on accuser Andrea Constand's credibility.
Marguerite Jackson's testimony that Constand once spoke of framing a prominent person to score a big payday will be read back to the jury when court resumes.
The jurors completed a marathon, 10-hour session on Wednesday that failed to produce a verdict.

Jurors in Bill Cosby's sexual assault retrial are kicking off a second day of deliberations by revisiting the testimony of a star defense witness who cast doubt on accuser Andrea Constand's credibility.
Marguerite Jackson's testimony that Constand once spoke of framing a prominent person to score a big payday will be read back to the jury when court resumes outside Philadelphia on Thursday.
A marathon, 10-hour first day of deliberations failed to yield a verdict in the first big celebrity trial of the #MeToo era.
The exhausted panel called it a night after rehearing excerpts from Cosby's old deposition testimony, including his admission he gave quaaludes to women he wanted to have sex with in the 1970s.

William "Bill" Cosby has been officially charged with Sexual Assault crimes.
His bail is set at $1 Million dollars.
This is a sad day for Bill Cosby and his family.
But what's even more sad is how for years Bill Cosby bashed BLACK Men,
calling them IRRESPONSIBLE Losers, as he repeatedly spoke Gloom &
Doom over the lives of BLACK Men.
Today Bill Cosby himself faces a future of Gloom & Doom.
Let this be a lesson to all BLACK Celebrities and BLACK Leaders.
When GOD blesses you (BLACK People),
he does not bless you so you can go out on the world stage and Bash your own race.
Instead when GOD blesses you (BLACK People) it is so you can Educate
and provide OPPORTUNITIES to help uplift other BLACK People.
Bill Cosby — America’s Dad — accused of rape by dozens of women, was
finally hit with a criminal charge Wednesday before getting released on
$1 million bail.
Just weeks before the statute of limitations was
set to expire, prosecutors charged Cosby with sexually assaulting a
Temple University employee at his suburban Philadelphia mansion in 2004.
“The evidence is strong,” said Montgomery County Prosecutor Kevin
Steele, announcing a single count of aggravated indecent assault against
the creepy comedian.
Steele described the defenseless victim, tossing a fresh layer of taint on Cosby’s once-wholesome image.
“Frozen, paralyzed, unable to move,” he said. “A person in that state is unable to consent.”
Prosecutors initially declined in 2005 to file charges in the case, citing a lack of evidence.
Accuser Andrea Constand, who has spoken publicly about the encounter
with the perverted funnyman, then filed a civil suit against Cosby and
settled out of court the following year.
In a deposition in that
case, Cosby said under oath that he gave Constand halved pills that he
described as “three friends to make (her) relax,” according to the
affidavit.
Among the last words she recalled hearing:
“Down them. Put ’em down. Put them in your mouth.”
He also acknowledged under oath that he obtained seven prescriptions in
his own name for Quaaludes for the purpose of having sex with women.
A judge unsealed those depositions filed in Philadelphia federal court
earlier this year, prompting Montgomery County prosecutors to reopen
their criminal case.
“Reopening this case was not a question. Rather, reopening this was our duty,” Steele said.
The new case marks the first criminal prosecution of the diminishing
star and sets the stage for what could be a blockbuster trial involving
some of the roughly 60 other accusers who say they were sexually
assaulted by Cosby.
The 78-year-old faces up to a decade behind
bars if convicted. He went from the courthouse, about 10 miles north of
Philadelphia, to a local police station and was freed on bail — all
within 30 minutes.
“Make no mistake, we intend to mount a
vigorous defense against this unjustified charge and we expect that Mr.
Cosby will be exonerated,” Cosby’s attorneys said in a statement.
An affidavit made public Wednesday detailed the revolting encounter
with Constand in January 2004, which echoed other alleged assaults by
Cosby dating as far back as 1965.
Cosby made two unwanted sexual advances on Constand in the months leading up to the assault, papers allege.
Constand, now 42, returned to his home around 8:45 p.m. thinking they
were going to discuss her career. Instead, Cosby offered her pills and
wine, according to the court papers.
“These will make you feel good. The blue things will take the edge off,” Cosby said, according to documents.
About 30 minutes later Constand was helpless as Cosby positioned
himself behind her as she faded “in and out” of consciousness on a
couch, according to documents.
Constand had blurred vision and
difficulty speaking as Cosby fondled her breasts, put his hand down her
pants and penetrated her with his fingers, the affidavit states.
Cosby allegedly took Constand’s right hand and placed it on his privates.
Constand passed out and woke up around 4 a.m. the next day with her bra
undone and moved above her breasts, according to the affidavit.
Cosby, dressed in a robe, gave her a muffin, walked to the front door,
opened it and merely said, “All right,” the paperwork states.
She recalled leaving the residence without saying anything.
After the alleged assault, Constand fled to Canada to be near family
and told her mom what happened.
The mom confronted Cosby over the
telephone, according to documents.
Cosby admitted the encounter
during their conversation, said he gave Constand some type of
“prescription” medication and invited the women on an all-expenses-paid
trip to Florida, the affidavit states.
Cosby gave an interview to
Cheltenham Township police in January 2005 and claimed the sexual
encounter was consensual, according to the affidavit.
“When
directly asked if he ever had sexual intercourse with the victim, Cosby
gave (police) the unusual answer, ‘never asleep or awake,’” the
affidavit claims.
Constand will cooperate with prosecutors in the new case, Steele said.
Attorney Gloria Allred, who represents 29 women who say Cosby also
doped and groped them, said her clients are thrilled at the latest
development in his long downfall.
“Seeing him criminally charged and having to face a trial is the best Christmas present they have ever received,” Allred said.
