Wonder why he doesn't sue any of them for slander?

Because it's probably true, that's why....

You are correct -- Cosby (if he's suing them) has *the burden of proof* that it's slander.

Somehow, I tend to believe some of the allegations...also, to me, his attempt at rehabilitating "his image" is beyond strange.

That's a sick, creepy man who would do something like that. And women should try their best to never let themselves get into a situation where that could happen to them. I'm not saying its the woman's fault!!! That's not what I'm saying at all! I know not every situation is preventable, but please, try to NEVER let yourself be put in a place where a man or anyone can take advantage of you like that.

Many times the rapist is the father or uncle or brother. Sometimes it's a religious leader, there is no guaranteed safe place.

That's why so many Catholic priests and football coach Jerry Sandusky were so successful in victimizing young boys .... they were "trustworthy" people .... or so the parents thought.

Oh, and many times the attempted rapist is a long-time Boyfriend (of 2 years) who "feels" it's (his) time to 'consummate the relationship' by using a date-drug on his "loved one" (GF), and I was a victim.

He was sick, creepy, and a possessive stalker -- THAT is what he was but his attempt failed ! LOVE had nothing to do with him nor his actions ! If my Dad knew about it, he would have killed him...I kicked my BF to the curb and distanced my friendships/relationships with guys for 8 months after THAT experience, because I couldn't trust the male species. It took a lot for me to be able to talk to guys after that and, fortunately, I met my DH about a year later after the incident. But, it took a long time for me to tell him about my former BF; it's NOT a memory that one wants to "share" or "revisit".

People in authority were ALWAYS the ones I watched most closely when my kids were little, because they are so often the ones who use their position to take advantage.

I never automatically trusted anybody with my kids!

[NoelSeven]

I taught my daughter NOT to trust authority, but rather to trust herself and all her father and I taught her.

I stressed that people in authority (teachers, a principal, a minister...) might tell her to do something that made her uncomfortable or that she knew was wrong. In that case, she was to say NO, and tell them to call her mother right away.

So one day in middle school, a dangerous situation came up. She told the VP who said he would take care of it, for her to get to the office and stay there in safety. The principal saw her there, told her to get back to the playground. She said no, she was to stay in the office and not move, and she gave the principal my number.

Later, the VP told everyone she most likely saved lives that day. By saying NO.

TVGuide. com just posted an article about defending their decision to drop Cosby projects, noting that they've heard such allegations over the years ..... there WAS talk about his criminal behavior for decades .....

Wow.

Too bad those in the know didn't speak up.

Attractive young women who accept invitations to party overnight at Hefner's playhouse probably find themselves in all sorts of interesting tableaux as the evening wears on.

Yeah, but this really has nothing to do with Cosby's criminal activities.

This latest accuser may have a wee bit of a credibility issue if reports are accurate. Reportedly on the date she claims Cosby assaulted her in LA, he was in New York.
