So, we are supposed to believe Bill Cosby,

that he never went "all the way" with women he drugged? He stated it was completely consensual and just "playful" innocence, ala kids playing doctor, cause he didn't want the women to fall in love with him. Anybody who falls for that needs a bridge in Brooklyn.

in a criminal trial.

We can believe whatever we want. I believe the women who accuse him.

From what I've heard, definitely could be wrong, the SoL doesn't apply to abuse of a minor.

Unwanted sexual contact is rape. Period.

There was a lot of stroking his own ego in that deposition. We know the facts now- the women we've heard from are probably just the tip of the iceberg. 10% or less even. That omits the grey area stuff where he just took advantage of them and didn't just drug and rape them.

His trail of destruction is wide and long.
