Thanks for your agreement.

How many times do we get shocked that one person or another turns out to be a complete abuser?

After that one lawsuit, everyone thought it was just one priest, but go figure, thing is that it turned out to be practically the entire priesthood that were abusing children and the victims numbered in the thousands.

I bet that Cosby is guilty and really, everyone knows that a public figure is often the opposite in private than they are in public?

I’ve read about Savile and he was a HUGE friend of members of the royal family.

For the life of me, I don’t understand why people discard the idea that their favorite entertainer is a psycho in private. People go into that business for a reason, to escape themselves and avoid facing who they are as people.

How many biographies are read about one celebrity icon after another? I mean, celebrities rarely do anti-drug adverts because we know too much about their personal lives
for any kind of message to be effective.

Cosby is likely not just a one time offender as well. There are probably other victims nervous about coming out.

This line is utter BS. It was a huge problem, and it was covered up for far too long, but it was always a small minority. We can argue %, and any number is too large, but it was less than 10%, probably much less. And it's also wrong to focus exclusively on Catholic priests. It happens in similar %s among all clergy who are able to abuse their position of trust.
