Nobody says anything over a 45 year period and now, everybody “remembers”.
I dunno.

I refer to the Jimmy Saville, BBC scandal in England right now. Saville died I think in 2012 and while there had been some allegations, after he died they had people going back 50 years that came forward that had been abused a kids by this monster and no statue of limitations here. This investigation has led to other BBC people being found out and they are being prosecuted.
It only takes a spark and there you are.
One comes forward, then they all do. It’s a ‘safety in numbers’ thing, or catharsis, or group empowerment stuff..
What I was thinking. Is there any evidence of a crime?
I dunno, looks like every want to be actress from the 80s whos career didn’t really go anywhere is now claiming Cosby raped them....
You have your facts wrong.
Over thirty years ago people were saying things.
Over thirty years ago, Bill Cosby was settling civil actions and settling claims before civil actions were filed. Cosby was paying for women's living expenses.
The reason attention has been currently focused on this is because comedian Hannibal Buress told a Cosby "rape" joke in Philly on the night of October 16. This was reported on the internet, a video was uploaded to YouTube, Howard Stern invited Buress to appear on his show . . . and Cosby's world exploded.
AFTER Buress opened up all of the claims from 1985 - not claims that were kept secret for 45 years - did other women start to come forward.
Please remember that some of the "Jane Does" named in the 1985 litigation as potential witnesses have still never come forward - although Cosby's paid their living expenses.
