In court today, Andrea Constand and her family read their victim statements. (Cosby was convicted in April of three counts of indecent assault aggravated for drug trafficking and sexual assault against Constand in 2004.)
Constand spoke only a few seconds in a clear, unemotional voice.
Gianna Constand, Constand's mother, said she "lost the ability to trust anyone" and saw friends and loved ones disappear from her life.
"Our lives have become those of a roller coaster ride that never ended," she said.
Andy Constand, his father, also talked about how the attack affected the whole family.
"The thought of what happened to my daughter Andrea will always be with me forever, like a dark cloud hanging over my head," he said.
And Constand's older sister, Diana Parsons, called her little sister her hero.
"After all that she has gone through, she always walks around with a smile on her face and a positive attitude," she said.
