    Except many of these accusations have been around and in some of the cases were reported to the police. Cosby settled at least one of the cases out of court.

    The allegations against Cosby aren't all about people jumping on a trend now to cash in but in most cases were people who had spoke out about this earlier and were largely ignored.

    So in other words they should've just kept quiet because of Cosby's popularity.

    And people wonder why victims of powerful and popular people are reluctant to come forward.

    Gotta love the skepticism and victim-blaming in this thread. Christ.

    Roman Polanski drugged and raped some 13 year old girl then fled to Europe so he could keep banging 16 year olds. Hollywood is full of guys who have taken advantage of young girls, from producers doing the casting couch to rockstars getting blown by 15 year olds. If people want to start casting stones....

    Were any of you guys (or girls) molested by Cosby? At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of our names thrown into the pot. Damn.

    That's from an editorial cartoon series featured on theonion.com. It's supposed to be misguided and wrong.

    It is not going to be pleasing in the long run to lock away someone who is already very old

    The consensus seems to be 2-8% of reported rapes or false. The problem is that non were reported to cops in a timely manner further complicating the issue. There's a list of studies on here that go as high as 40%. Interestingly the older the study the higher the %.

    I don't know ( I have my doubts) that the Coz is innocent, but what I do know is that often times, extreme wealth/power give people the sense of entitlement, and being above the law. Either way I hope the TRUTH comes out, but I'm not optimistic of that ever happening! In a perfect world we would have a perfect system, but.....I digress!

    Justice should be served regardless. Otherwise, in the long run, it sends the message that criminals just need to hide out and then can be free from worry.
