someone that has been classified as a sexually violent predator.. it was a range of 3 to 10 that is completely within the guidelines. i think it was very clear once he was classified as a sexually violent predator. how do you protect the community from someone that can't control themselves? it is clearly very serious and

the aggravating factors he falls squarely within this sentence. >> i want to go back for this. bill cosby is not done fighting. he does plan to appeal. it starts right now? >> yes. exactly. according to pennsylvania law you can't start that appeal process until after the sentencing. and so there's already a lawyer in court for him to begin that process the judge reminded him and asked are you sure you don't want to say anything? he had the opportunity to have the final word prior to the judge's sentencing. he chose to stay quiet. it is a clear victory. they asked for 5 to 10 years. they getting at least 3 to 10. >> thank you so much for your reporting on this. if you're just joining us bill cosby once one of the most powerful entertainers has been sentenced three to ten years
