Do I think that they are all lying, no. However, one just did not seem right. She was the older lady who said she was assaulted back in the late 60’s. She said she did not come forward back then because she felt no one would believe her and Cosby was a celebrity who would be protected. If she said this in reference to the 80’s, 90’s etc, ok, she maybe telling the truth, but the 60’s did not ring true to me. The police at that time would have been eager to believe her story. They would have grabbed Cosby in no seconds flat, and probably slammed his head through a plate glass window to boot. Her explanation was from a more recent time, not then.

Dunno. Women can have many reasons for not coming forward.

Absolute nonsense.

Cosby was a giant, he was doing the Tonight show in 1963 as a stand up comic, in 1965 he was starring with Robert Culp in 'I Spy'. In the 1960s he won three consecutive Emmys was selling comedy records and records of his songs with his own record label, he started the Bill Cosby show in 1969, his company produced films and TV specials, he was huge.

Cosby was one of the two lead actors in an extremely popular television series that ran from 1965-68. Considering that plus his very successful comedy career at the time, he might have been better known then than he is now.

Cosby was an established star by then. He had just ended a run on I Spy in 1968. The show was hailed at the time for pairing a black actor with a white one (Robert Culp) on weekly tv. They were spies that went on missions. Cosby was protected at the time.
