The victim, a single mom who turned to exotic dancing to support her two kids, attends North Carolina Central University, a mostly black college in Durham.
She plans to keep a low profile until the students go on trial to avoid inflaming tensions in the black community, where opinion is running heavily against the privileged students.
One of the most hurtful things for the woman about the media circus surrounding the case, the cousin said, is the tendency to assume the worst about her because she is a stripper.
"She's a victim and she's a human being," the cousin said. "Her occupation couldn't justify that a crime like this was committed."

we must always ping HG to pix of his beloved....
but many women have to work to support their children now and can't make it.
Ya ever spent time talking to the hundreds of thousands of men whose wives filed for divorce under "no fault laws", and find themselves charged as "child molestors", hit with heavy garnishments for child support which appears on their permanent records making their "employment" opportunities dwindled. How about the men being forced to raise children that aren't theirs?
We each have our crosses to bear.
I can't take your yelling or I would try to explain that some women just don't have IQ's over 100 which is no crime, and there are no good paying jobs for them.
I see this happening to men, too. What's your point?
Same with Levin. Noise and confusion signifying nothing.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I remember one guy, he said in a loud voice, She's just a stripper.
COSBY: She's just a stripper?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes.
COSBY: That driver also took me on a ride-along, retracing what he says are Reade Seligmann's exact steps the night of the alleged assault. Take a look.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I arrive at between, I guess between 12:19, yes.
COSBY: So just about five minutes later?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: About five minutes, yes.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I came to the Wachovia bank machine, yes.
COSBY: And who took out money from the machine?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Reade.
COSBY: Reade Seligmann?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes, he come out this side door, and he went to the machine down there where he takes some money out.
COSBY: And was Reade the only one of the two who took out money?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes, I just remember just Reade at that time. I didn't remember the other guy went out.
COSBY: And how long did it take to drive here?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: From the corner? Probably two or three minutes.
COSBY: Did you notice anything unusual about their behavior? Was he drunk at all?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes, he's little bit, but not that much drunk.
COSBY: Just a little drunk?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes, not that drunk so he can't get out and can't get inside my car.
COSBY: So after the bank, where did you take him to?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I take them to Cook Out Restaurant.
COSBY: This restaurant right here?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This restaurant right here.
COSBY: And this is open very late?

COSBY: And how much of a fare was it? How long were you with them?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: About 30-35 minutes, and they asked me how much it is. I told them about $17, $18, and they gave me—Reade, I believe, he gave me $25.
COSBY: So they gave you a pretty big tip?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: A very big tip, yes.
COSBY: Is that why it stands out in your mind?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No, because I'm with them a long time, they make my car smell. That's the only reason I have them in my mind.
COSBY: Well, his father showed up here. And when he saw the call, near the house, right, about a block away from the house, he said, “This is for sure my son's cell phone number”?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Jump up and down. He says, “Yes, I know my son called for a taxi at this time.”
COSBY: Moett (ph), how do you feel to know now you may be Reade Seligmann's alibi?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes, I'm so happy that I'm telling the truth. I'm so happy, if this guy is innocent, he didn't do anything, I'll so happy to see him out and do his normal life, as he is to do.
COSBY: And you're sure that it was Reade Seligmann that night?
You're sure you were with him for half-an-hour? You sure he took your cab?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I sure, yes. He's this guy, he called me. I sure I pick him up. I took him to that bank, and I took him to the cookout, where he got some food.
COSBY: No doubt in your mind it was definitely this man that night?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That's him, no doubt, 100 percent.
COSBY: And you will testify under oath to that?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Sure.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
COSBY: Shocking new development tonight in the Duke rape investigation you'll see only right here on MSNBC. First, an interview with a cab driver whose story is a double-edged sword. The cabbie's story about taking Reade Seligmann, one of the suspects, home appears to match the young man's alibi, and that could very much help him. But get this. The cab driver's story may actually hurt some of the other players. He told me what happened after he dropped off Seligmann and then went back to the house for another call.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
COSBY: You made a second pick-up that night near the house, one actually at the house. What did they say in the cab that was unusual to you?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I remember one guy, he said in a loud voice, She's just a stripper.
COSBY: Do you think he was complaining about the stripper or something bad happened with the stripper?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I have no idea. I don't have any information about what's going on in the house.
COSBY: Now that you look back.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes. When I look back, he look like he mad at the stripper, or the stripper, she going to call the police and she's just a stripper.
COSBY: Did it seem to you that someone had been raped in the house and they were talking about a rape?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No. My mind couldn't go that far away, but it
looked to me like somebody got hurt, but what kind of harm or what kind of
· I have no idea.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
Actually neither young adults or middle age men make her do anything. She chose this profession as a adult old enough to know how dangerous it could be, especially since the line between stripper and escort/prositute appears to be very thin. I think we are mostly in agreement here.
Cosby trying to put words in his mouth?
Couldn't be.........LOL.
And notice she says "near the house."
Of course, that could just be her words.
Jeepers, if that's the case the chief of police needs a spine implant.
Shawn doesn't know that the women were insulting and demeaning.. Giving at least what they got.
Yep.
Now Megyn says "around" 1:00 am.
Well, you should be sympathetic towards the boys if they have been falsly accused of rape....Don't ya think??
Anyway we know how you feel, so you really don't need to share it again. Thanks.
