Wow...the sheer number of accusers...

He must have been very powerful be to be able to suppress this for so long if true, which again...the sheer number of accusers?

You would think that Cosby is a white man.

Wow, what an attack on these women, is it possible that where there’s smoke there may be fire, and just maybe some of these woman are telling the truth.

The one’s lying will be found out as they must prove they were in his presence.

The DOJ reports that about 85 percent of ALL rapes that involve more then one perp are committed by non-whites.

This would be quite a conspiracy, police reports going back to 2000, an out of court settlement for a 2004 drugging/rape settled in 2006 when 13 additional Jane Does came forward to testify to his methods.

Women from their 20s through their mid 70s accusing him of sexual assault and drugging/rapings, covering 5 decades and multiple cities and states.

Aside from the numbers and decades, and the diversity of his accusers, many who are quite accomplished and wealthy women and celebrities themselves, have you noticed that of the people who know him the best, and who worked with him during those 50 years (he was married the entire time), none of them are defending him.

Why isn’t there anyone of the people who knew him best during those 50 years of rumors and police reports and settlements, coming forward to tell us how outrageous and impossible all this is?

"..says she believes she was “targeted and drugged”

Ah, yes. The "belief" a crime took place. Clearly sound legal foundation there.../s

Anyone who can basically claim that they were ever in the same zip-code as he was anytime in the past 50 years is eligible for jumping onto this bandwagon. I guess the hope is that there will be payouts to avoid the cost of getting into legal fights and folks can cash in without ever having to mount a credible case against him.

“Those who enabled Cosby’s behavior share equal blame. Those close to the situation had to know what was going on.”

Hollywood is a shameless $hit pile where there are no morals and money is the common denominator. It’s just too bad that riots don’t ever clean out the places most in need of it.

Cosby has always maintained a team of lawyers and staff to deal with his sexual lifestyle, if you notice, they don’t destroy anyone’s claim, instead their job is to make sure that he can maintain his proclivities.

The women describe specific restaurants, hotels, cities, workplaces, homes, and Cosby could easily destroy their details, if he really could, but that has never been the case.

Many of these women have no interest in money, many are famous and rich on their own, Cosby has zero credibility, and the anecdotes and claims of women about him that were not drugged and raped, support that he has the personality for this.

Instead of supporters coming forward for him, what he gets is people like the female staff at Letterman coming forward, and Lou Ferigno’s wife, and others, telling us that he is creepy with females, and controlling, menacing.

There have been enough specific details published that anyone could offer such details as "proof". It would take some serious questioning (depositions) to begin to discredit new allegations. I'm sure there are plenty of lawyers and lay people betting that Cosby won't bother with the expense of getting depositions and preparing for trials and would instead just make a quick and easy payout.

I'm betting that some of the initial allegations are indeed true, but I also bet that we'll see a lot of people wishing to jump onto the quick payoff bandwagon.

Rubbish, the rapes didn't happen at the same places, same times, same cities, same dates, why are you claiming that the women are just repeating details that they read?

Why didn't Cosby destroy Constand who filed a police report in 2005 and the 13 Jane does that came forward to testify to his methods in that case, and who remained unknown?

Do you work this hard to defend Bill Clinton against rape charges? There is very little evidence against him about rape, unlike with Cosby, whose victims are in the dozens, cover 5 decades, and who has already settled on one Drugging/Rape case ten years ago.

It’s also an election year, and Hillary is a referendum on Bill Clinton. Ultimately Bill Cosby will never see the inside of a courtroom, but the Age of Aquarius Water Carriers in the media will make his life hell intermittently until election day 2016.
