Actress bravely reveals harrowing years of rape at hands of TV legend ...

Years of rape? Years? Why did she put up with that, and then keep silent about it for decades?

What's wrong with this story? Several things. First of all is the fact that the use of the word 'allegedly' is very sparsely used, if at all. Why is it being reported as fact. It is an allegation. That's the thing that concerns me about all these stories - be it Bill Cosby raping girls, John Travolta having cross-country gay affairs, etc. I have no way of knowing whether they are true allegations or fake allegations, but I do know that they are allegations. Why then does the media write stories as if they were fact? They may turn out to be veritable, but at the point of writing they are allegations.

What's to stop me right now from spending some time around the vicinity of some famous person, and maybe even get a picture or two around them, and then come out and say he/she/it was doing XYZ to me? More importantly, why is the threshold of proof so low that (i) my assertion is sufficient and (ii) it is up to THAT person to prove THEIR innocence?

Why is the threshold so low?

Why is this coming out now? Isn’t Cosby about 75 years old and semi-retired? If this woman wanted to “help other victims,” why did she wait thirty years to tell her story?

Oh, I believe the woman.

And Bill cosby is the worst kind of rapist (second worst, I guess: he didn’t murder them). To drug and rape is so sick. What person takes pleasure in having sex with an unconscious person?? It’s obviously an evil power drive he has. Why ruin such a successful career with this evil behavior? What a sick, sick man.

I’d like to see him and Stephen Collins delivered to ISIS for a video.

This article from 1999 goes into some depth about Ms. Bowman's allegations.

Interesting.

I find it difficult to respect anyone who makes a bunch of money from books with his name (and only his name) on them (e.g. “Fatherhood” by Ralph “Bill Cosby” Schoenstein, “Dreams From My Father” by Bill “Barack Obama” Ayers), but that he didn’t actually write.
