Who would take a job to pay off women to not report rape? That’s being an accomplice to the crime, misprision of the crime, and witness tampering. Whoever is makinq those claims has some serious answering to do.
I need to correct my timeline. The first claim was in 2000 and consisted solely of Cosby putting her hand under his shirt and pushing it towards his sweatpants. She pulled her hand away, said she was leaving, and left. That was what she reported to police 3 days after the alleged event. Apparently a few days after that her grandpa claimed that Cosby was really all over her, traumatized her, etc. But that is not what she told the police. She was 20 at the time and looking for a way to advance her career. I can’t help but wonder if her grandpa figured out a way she could advance her career...
Obama gave his “Pound Cake” speech to the NAACP on May 17, 2004 - where he said that Blacks cannot blame whites for their own criminality and bad lifestyle choices. Seven months later a woman reported to police in Ontario that Cosby had touched and digitally penetrated her. I can’t see the report so I have no idea whether she claims to have resisted. Her story is such that there would be no evidence - strictly “he said, she said”.
She said he gave her an “herbal remedy” for anxiety. Not willing to say he drugged her but paving the way for the others (who do claim they were drugged and seem to have coordinated until-now-anonymous stories about him having a wet-hair fetish).
The long and short of her story is that she waited until another year and another country to make her claim - making the claim only 7 months AFTER he fell out of grace with Hollywood because he “left the plantation”.
The cops rightly said there was no evidence. So she sued for $150 million. Unless he had a gun so she couldn’t walk away from his “advances”, there’s absolutely no call for that kind of money unless you’re trying to force somebody to settle out of court. She would have to vow silence, but she had left the door open for these other women to speak out - and the settlement could always be used to make him appear guilty if need be later on.
And in that year while Cosby was deciding whether to fight or settle out of court, 3 of those “Jane Does” made media claims of 30-year-old unreported attacks - the first saying Cosby gave her “cold medicine” that made her ill but he left when she resisted, the 2nd being his former girlfriend who said after they broke up he drugged her coffee, and the third (Bowman) saying he drugged and attacked her several times.
Bowman didn’t report it to police at the time because she didn’t believe it had happened and she couldn’t get either her agent or her lawyer to believe it had happened either. She broke her silence now - right as Ferguson is about to show us some ugly images of Black behavior like that Cosby condemned in his “Pound Cake” speech - to blame everybody else for not believing her when she didn’t even believe it herself at the time, when she could easily have checked for semen, etc, and had details such as waking up in different clothes, she claims. Not only does she get to slam the “off the plantation” Black guy, but she also gets to call everybody else sexist because “nobody believed her” allegations she waited 30 years to tell anybody about.
As I keep saying, I don’t know what happened. But the stories and their timing just don’t smell right.
The guy who claims to have abetted the crime of rape as well as committing misprision of rape and witness tampering needs to be prosecuted if his claims can be proven...

Because he didn’t think they were rape but rather affairs.
