Today the American Advertising Federation announced the decision to rescind Bill Cosby’s induction into the Hall of Fame after he was found guilty last week of drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand, the former director of operations for the women’s basketball team at Temple University, in his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004.
Cosby was inducted into the AAF Hall of Fame in 2011 and at the time also received the President’s Award, which was also revoked today.
“This is the first time the Council has voted to rescind an induction or award in the Hall’s 69-year history,” the AAF said in a statement.
The AAF did not immediately return a request for further comment.
