As I understand it, many of these allegations go back years. Why have these women waited until now to come forward?
Because they never thought anyone would believe them, they didn’t want to accuse such a famous man, they felt responsible (for being alone with him, taking pills, etc), didn’t want to describe what happened, etc. They were going to take it to their graves, but then when 3, 8, 12 women come forward, CLEARLY IT HAS AN EFFECT ON THE PUBLIC. So they feel believed and safe.
Exactly!
Cosby went after Janice Dickenson, who does not have the best rep, who does not inspire respect from men and the public.
Predators sometimes choose those who are not known to be ‘fine, upstanding members of the community,’ they target the vulnerable, fringe types. How many foster kids get abused?
