Cosby’s probably 100% guilty on all counts but why the hell do these people bring these accusations up years after they happen? You press charges when it happens... 30+ women didn’t? I have no sympathy for them at this stage of the game.
Cosby will probably get away with it and I doubt any civil suit would win either due to statue limitations and it would be damned hard to prove any crime happened after all these years. It’s a he said / she said case.

You wake up on somebodys bed.. with no marks or ill effects..
Yet you know something “happened”... but don’t know what..
And surmise after asked what did he do?.. you must answer “I don’t know”..
Were you violated?... “I’m not sure”...
Do you remember anything that happened?.. “Well NO”...
If you cannot SEE why these events are not reported you must be “BLONDE”..
Years ago, date rape was difficult to impossible to prove in court under the best of circumstances. A typical defense including shaming and blaming the victim in the court of public opinion. CSI and law needed time to catch up with criminal abuse of pharmaceutical technology.
So the main battleground today for the Cosby takedown is the court of public opinion.
IMHO, it is like taking down a hyena with spears. One spear is not enough, and one hunter alone is not enough. The hunters need to stab the hyena with many spears. And the hunters need to choose the best time. Immediately-right-now might not be a strategic option.
It seems fitting that Cosby is finally on the receiving end of the blows in the court of public opinion. Cosby chose to move the battleground there. It is there that he needs to make a final stand or surrender.
It is difficult to pity an animal who knows no better. But Cosby is not an animal. Cosby should have known better than to move the battleground to a place in which he could eventually be weakened. Why have any pity for Cosby? Cosby is the master of his destiny. His personal choices led him to this PR killing field. Let him succumb there.
In 1976 I knew 2 women that worked with Cosby and loathed him . They never claimed rape , just if they didn’t play ball , they would lose their jobs . I told them to get a new job .
