I don't know what he did or didn't do. But I still have to wonder why is this coming out when he's 80? Why did all of these people wait?

If it was me it would have been reported immediately!

Why aren't any charges being filed? WILL charges be filed?

I need to know more and would like to see evidence before coming to a solid conclusion.

I don't think Bill being quiet proves anything either way.

It was a different in the 70s for a woman to report a rape. :/

Women STILL TODAY don't report rape.

And there are so many reasons why.

Take a look at what's going on at the Univ. of West Virginia for just a sample.

What some people fail to mention is that at the time of the 'incidents', a large majority of the women were teenagers!

Remember Diana Ross singing 'Love Child' about an out of wedlock child in the late sixties??Times were SO different back then, and things such as teen pregnancy, or date rape or of being taken advantage of just wasn't discussed.

The teen years are confusing for many, and frankly I'm surprised that so many have come forward. For every one of them, I'd wager to bet that there are even more who will stay mum forever.

I agree.

It's not looking well for Mr. Cosby. I was trying to be objective and remain neutral, but now people other than the victims are speaking their minds. This morning on the radio, I heard that comedians in the comedy circuit were well aware of Cosby's reputation for many years. My question is why didn't someone speak out before this? I'm not talking about victims, but what about the other people that supposedly knew all along? If I knew a colleague was getting away with stuff like this, there's no way I could keep silent forever. I don't know how those people could live with themselves.

See post 15. Whoever came forward would find their life ruined faster than a New York minute. They wouldn't be able to get a job as a dishwasher.

This is looking...really...really...BAD!

How his wife can sit there with an odd looking smile on her face in the one recent interview is beyond me. I might want to have knocked him out of that chair he was sitting in.

Maybe she did it for the children. Or in the memory of their murdered son. I guess we can only speculate on her motives until she makes a statement. And it could be she doesn't even know why she stood/stands by him.

How does staying with a rapist/pervert honor her dead son?

Take a look at what goes on this board for example!

The example I was referring to was that of not wanting to report a rape.

But yeah, what goes on here is disgusting, blaming victims, not believing them, second guessing them, etc. etc. etc.

Disgusting.

Did these women go to his hotel room?? Only one thing happens in a hotel room when you meet a man. Would you go back to this man if that happened once?? Many confusing stories.

He was rich, famous, they wanted to become actresses. He offered to audition them and help them. They were flattered by the attention.

Usually stars have suites - not just a room with a bed. If a star is visiting "on the road" from another city - he will have a suite for business.

Uh, I've no doubt that Cosby had groupies .... but that doesn't mean he also didn't RAPE young women. Lots of people knew of his "reputation". ${#emotions_dlg.unsure}$

I agree. People are practically calling them sl*uts, saying that they deserved it, wh*res, etc.

It is disgusting.

My guess is that reporting this would have meant nothing and the statute of limitations has passed so, no, probably no charges will be filed, but I think those that have suffered can get some satisfaction by coming forward and telling the world what kind of person he is.

As for "evidence" ... they didn't have rape kits back then, so what kind of "evidence" would you want? ${#emotions_dlg.confused1}$
