20, 30 years later. I’m just not feeling it for the supposed victims.
The civil case that was settled in 2006 for alleged abuse that occurred in 2004 had 12 corroborating witnesses with similar drugging/sexual assault stories. I have no idea how they found these women, but there were at least 13 willing to swear to it in 2006. Maybe there was some Temple connection so they were easier to call up and ask?
“The federal judge presiding over the case earlier denied Cosby’s request for a gag order and the plaintiff’s request to shield the names of a dozen other women who say Cosby assaulted them.
The plaintiff, a native of Ontario, Canada, who is in her 30s, previously worked at Temple University in Philadelphia, which touts Cosby as one of its most famous alumni. She is identified in court documents, but The Associated Press does not publish names of alleged sexual assault victims without their consent.
The woman, who called Cosby a friend and mentor, went to police about a year after the encounter, but Montgomery County prosecutors declined to file criminal charges.”

Of course settling doesn’t necessarily mean guilt, but holy cow 12 women who all say the same thing about him in court? And this allegedly happened in 2004, before the media frenzy.
