Bill Cosby prosecutors: This is why sexual-assault victims don't report this crime
Philadelphia Enquirer ^ | April 24, 2018 | Jeremy Roebuck & Laura McCrystal

Montgomery County prosecutors lashed into Bill Cosby in their final pitch to jurors Tuesday, painting him as a serial sexual predator who hid for decades behind his reputation as “America’s Dad” to lure unsuspecting young women into situations where they were powerless to resist his advances. “He is nothing like the image he plays on TV,” Assistant District Attorney Kristen Feden said in an impassioned address to the panel of seven men and five women hearing the case. “He utilized that image and cloaked it around himself, so he could gain the trust of young, unsuspecting women to sexually assault them and strip their ability to say no.”

It's absolutely horrible and terrible what rotten leftist feminism and the crooked leftwing media are putting this man through. They would do it to any one of us as well, make no mistake. Yeah. Like there's a hundred million women out there who've been sexually assaulted against their will by right wing rich males but who are soooooo afraid to report it. This is the other side of rich right wing male genocide no matter what your color happens to be.

Try commenting on the article instead of attacking the OP. Or is that just too much work for you to do?

How about Bill Cosby is/was a sexual predator that used his position, status and wealth to avoid prosecution for decades?

I bet he wishes he was a demonratic politician as Bill Clintdog was worse and hasn’t faced prosecution

Wasn’t George H.W. Bush #MeToo-ed as well, and got a free pass I guess because of his age?

I completely believe Bill Cosby drugged and raped these women.

...he admittedly used drugs to abuse
several women....because he’s black
he’s the victim... Of course,they attack the women, saying all the administered drugs were consensual...

I usually buy them a few drinks to strip them of their ability to say No. (Ducking).

I believe it and doubt that he was the only one who did such things inside the Playboy(TM) mansion.

Hef bragged about “panty droppers” (give the girl a Mickey and she’ll lower all inhibitions).

Some FReeper used to defend the use of Quaaludes to lower inhibitions. When they say they will “take one” how do they know which strength you are really giving them (150mg or 300mg?). Add a few drinks after the pill has been willingly accepted and the effects are even stronger.

I don’t think it rose to the same level. I could remember wrong but I don’t think it rose to the level of using date rape drugs and he didn’t have multiple accusers. I’ll assume it was a misunderstanding in such cases.

Do you want to know who got away with it? Bill Clinton and Joe Biden

Earlier in the day, Bliss and her cocounsel Tom Mesereau had likened their client’s legal woes to a “lynching”

The fact that he's already admitted to having drugged at least one woman lends at least some credence to other such claims.OTOH,the guy's very rich,very famous and interacts with many,many women.His wealth and fame could make him subject to false claims.Also,a guy as rich and famous as Cosby could have just about any woman he wanted just by asking...no drugs required.

IOW,I don't know whether he's guilty or not.

Cosby isn’t a conservative. He regularly supported libetalcauses and democrats, including Barack Obama. Throughout the 70s and 80s, he regularly hung out at the Playboy mansion.

He occasionally made public statements in favor of personal responsibility. While I’m certain that some on the left resented him for that, the allegations are simply too numerous and too similar for me to discount.

He hasn’t denied that he was with these women at the times and places they claim. He hasn’t denied that they had sex. He hasn’t denied that he purchased and gave women relaxant-type drugs. His defense is that the sex was consensual and that he gave women drugs to help them relax.

It makes me sad because I enjoyed the Cosby Show during the 80s, but based on what I’ve read, I think he’s probably guilty of much of what he’s accused of.
