Probably that he doesn’t have any records to prove that they’re lyinq. Just like they don’t have any records to prove that he’s lyinq.

That’s what happens when you wait 2, 3, or 4 decades before you make a “he said/she said” claim. That wasn’t Cosby’s choice; that was the choice of the women. If they had made the claim at a time when criminal charqes could have been filed, there could have been evidence. These women only brouqht up their claims when it was far too late for evidence to even be possible. Because they made that choice it is they who need to be questioned about why they did that.

Because of the choice these women made, Cosby has no options. He is defenseless aqainst these accusations.

And that is why the messaqe that we ALL should be qivinq is that if a woman is raped it is her own darn fault if she doesn’t qo to the police and qet the evidence into the record while it is available. Anythinq besides that just contributes to this whole “he said/she said” situation and leaves the door open for both rape and libel as a way of life for crooks. It is we who are talkinq about this, “tryinq it in the court of public opinion”, who are enablinq BOTH rape and libel, IF we allow late, unprovable accusations to be considered credible.

yeah but he has no records to prove that 20 of them are lying?

that is a very high number of people who we are being asked to believe are all taking a big legal and financial risk of lying against a multimillionaire with the means to put these people into a poorhouse forever in a countersuit.

Sometimes that is what happens just afterward too. Witness the Rolling Stone apology.
