Agreed that Cosby is a disgusting perv who should be locked up.

My question is always the same: Why do the victims take soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long to report this?

Don’t they know there is statute of limitations?

Unless a more recent case surfaces, Cosby is going to skate free.

>>Why do the victims take soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long to report this?<<

It's called shame, guilt, fear no one will believe them over someone this famous, embarrassment, worthlessness.

Most times folks aren't thinking, “statute of limitations”.

They are thinking what their mom and dad would think. Would they be ostracized out of the business. Will they be looked at as a whore, weak, perverted....a whole host of emotions.

Let me add, rapist, pedophiles, abusers are master manipulators. They play on the emotions/fears of the victim and maximize the impact by manipulation to silence them.

“Why do the victims take soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long to report this?”

Likely because they are often ridiculed, not believed and made to look like scum when they do report it.

I can only guess the reason these women didn't come forward at the time was because they felt it would ruin their careers. Hollyweird is a completely different world from the one the rest of us reside in and Cosby was a big star compared to any of the women who have come forward.

We've all heard of the casting couch and the stories of those who were willing participants because they believed it would further their careers. Cosby didn't have a casting couch, he had a 'I know the guy with the casting couch', couch.

Free? I bet there will be a cost.

Why do immature men on FR need a photo to determine a woman's guilt or innocence?

It was worse 30 years ago when women were blamed for being raped.

All you’ve got to do is look at the accusing things said about these women to know why they took so long. Would you volunteer to have those things said about you? Especially in a situation where you know nothing good would come from it? Now that the storm has started, now that these women see that something good can come from it, now it’s safe. Of course vile disgusting things are still being said about them, but at least there’s the potential for good.

Statute of limitations is only for criminal prosecution. Disgust and revulsion have no expiration.
