American comedian Bill Cosby was released from prison Wednesday after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned his sexual assault conviction, Oyogist.com reports.
Cosby, 83, was convicted of drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand at his home in 2004.
He had been sentenced to three to ten years , and had served more than 2 years of the sentence.
In its ruling, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court said a “non-prosecution agreement” agreement with a previous prosecutor prevented Cosby from facing charges.
With the ruling, the judges wrote that “Cosby’s convictions and judgment of sentence are vacated, and he is discharged.”
