A male model saved his female friend from a disastrous 1984 night with Bill Cosby when, he claimed, he found her incoherent and "messed up" inside the star's Manhattan brownstone.
Tony Hogue said he helped a booker at his modeling agency escape from the comedian's apartment after she appeared to be drugged that September. Both were visiting from Denver for Fashion Week.
The unidentified woman later became one of 12 Jane Does in a 2005 sexual assault case against Cosby.

I think the press is holding back because of the Clinton connection....
There are many drugs that can be used as “date rape drugs”.
If you want to live in a fantasy world, be my guess, it’s
your right. OJ is innocent. /sarc
So he settled with one (with witnesses), therefore the other 20+ and growing (now that Gloria is demanding $100mil) MUST be true?!?
I am not defending Cosby. If he is guilty, nail him to a cross!
But, I know INNOCENT people who were accused of sexual misconduct, and it killed their military careers! He was a dog! He would screw just about anything that moved, but he was NOT a rapist! However, the seriousness of the charges and the volume of the charges (she got three of her friends to claim he had tried to do things to them against their will) was enough for him to not be allowed to re-enlist. Later, all of them admitted that she was upset that he wasn’t being monogamous with only her and the charges were dropped, but by then he was no longer interested in serving in the service that screwed him over without ANY evidence!
It’s too many women for that...
No one’s stopping you.
Man, you have a serious anger problem. I have never incited any violence on this case. Rant, much.
I suspect that some (many perhaps) of these people are trying to jump onto the gravy train... they know it's impossible to refute claims made this late in the game.
I suspect some may have simply become intoxicated by his fame... and perhaps a Martini... and did things they now can try and use to cash in with.
I don't understand why Cosby, with all his money and fame would NEED to drug/rape anyone... most famous people have groupies lined up at the door hoping to get ahead by sleeping with them.
I’m not angry. It was an honest question. So if my “example answer” was off the mark, answer it: what is it that you want? From Cosby and from FReepers?
YOU are the one that opened that discussion with your taunting at about post 2 or 3. I’m just taking up where you left off, that’s all.
The only point I see is that you are confused about the meaning of ‘due process’. This a term that applies to legal proceedings, not public discussions.
You can’t possibly be as dense as that remark makes you seem.
Well, don’t blame me for all of the wrongs in the world.
I am trying to stick with this case. There’s so much anger here. Yes, both
men and women do lie. Not all though. I have to be realistic.
>> You cant possibly be as dense as that remark makes you seem.
I respectfully disagree. ;-)
I respectfully disagree. ;-)
aw..found you a buddie. How sweet.
Do you remember when Obama first got elected and do you remember trying to tell someone that he's not the person they think he is?
It is sort of like that.
Gloria Alred hasn’t even come into any of these cases. I
thought some are wanting due process.
Yeah, my newfound buddy makes the day brighter.
So I notice you didn’t answer my question.
What is it you want? Deserve? Expect? From Cosby, AND from your “buddies” here at Free Republic?
Everyone is due the presumption of innocence — until proven guilty. Christie at the beach, and others here, seem to have forgotten that. What’s next — mobs in the streets firebombing businesses?
This scandal has already cost Cosby millions of dollars — that’s equivalent to leveling a huge financial penalty through an extra-judicial process. If he’s guilty, then he deserves severe penalties. Very severe penalties. Meanwhile, I’m reserving judgment, and I’m not apologizing for that.
There’s a huge difference between defending due process, and defending the (alleged) perpetrator. Given the number of times that conservative political candidates, or conservative organizations (e.g. the Tea Party) have been “tried” in the media — and especially considering the number of times that the accusations were eventually proven false — I would think that Freepers would be amongst the greatest defenders of due process.
