He knows people are watching him now.

And don't give me any of that "blaming the victim" crap!

I think it's a legitimate question.

with a rich man and didn't care $$$$$$$$But Cosby still at fault

Because there was no evidence? Because Cosby bought them off?

with a 15 year old involved?

She said the incident happened 1974. They can't go after him criminally, but she could use him civilly if she can prove that the trauma from the rape effected her mentally.

She would have to prove the incident happened. Which is impossible after all this time.

and met him while he was there on site. Then they went with him to the Playboy Mansion.

Lots of 15 year olds do stupid things, especially when celebrities are involved.

But you're right -- security should never have let her in.

what a fifteen year old was doing in the Playboy Mansion?

eom

whatever authority figures, including parents and even those in charge of mansion security for letting a kid of either gender in there.

for not protecting that child. Its disgusting. Its also a shame that she has not succeeded in getting any legal support for the crime.

after a few decades, especially when the only thing you have to go on is witness testimony from a person who's said nothing about it for that long.

He's not walking away from this unscathed. If he ain't suing over canceled contracts, IMO he's guilty. But I have felt he was guilty before his world started to crumbled. Just his non answers speaks volumes.

he moved back. Even cathy lee Gifford has a story. He's what he is. Period. Too sad for those of us who bought his work.

Good that no criminal charges were filed. She had ample time to come forward from 1974 until now. Now that she sees a vulnerable deep pocket, she suddenly gets the "courage" to come forward.

Courage is when one comes forward knowing he/she will be put through hell but still wants justice even with no chance of getting a fat paycheck.

in which case they did a disservice to other women who were allegedly victimized.

"I wanted to be a star and a complaint would have blacklisted me" just indicates to me that one put one's ambition above what was right.

Then again, when one has the promise of untold fame and wealth, one will sacrifice a lot to get to the top. Casting couch was not invented by Bill Cosby, as scum as he might be.

from coming forward.

Good job there. The women who can't wait to be made famous and rich, from being raped.

smooth move for 'those women'. Astonishing. Anyone still wonder why women don't come forward especially if they are young nobodies and he was a rich powerful famous man? I don't. Reminds me of George Will and his assertion that there are benefits to be accrued by being raped by men.

""I wanted to be a star and a complaint would have blacklisted me" just indicates to me that one put one's ambition above what was right. ..."

No more and no less than "I wanted a job to feed myself and pay for an apartment, and a complaint would have prevented that from happening" indicates that basic survival may often be prioritized above "what was right."

while wanting to be a star is a want.

Thus, I can more easily understand and forgive a person not coming forward for survival.

I may do lots of things to feed my children or to get health care for my parents which I would never do to become a celebrity.

of the woman making the claims are NOT seeking money.

that Hefner didn't know what was up with his good friend Bill? He introduced Cosby to girls, Cosby had full use of Hefners home, and this went on for years and years. Now we are hearing that Hefner is stunningly quiet about all of this. Apparently lots of people knew, aided and abetted.

Couldn't find any willing bunnies? Baloney. He gets off on this technique. Cos, hef, pig.

ongoing sexual relationship with Cosby, but one time he drugged her and had sex with her while she was out of it, even though she willingly had sex with him whenever he wanted. That suggests to me that he might just have a particular sexual kink that makes him get more aroused by women who are completely unable to make conscious choices or movements. If he was drugging willing partners, then it wasn't just sex he was after, but that absolute control that comes from sex with someone who is completely vulnerable.

This appears to be some kind of weird need. Instead of getting help, he was enabled.

There was lots of molestation going on in the 70s. We had free love and qualudes. Really was a much simpler time. You did not have the 24 news cycle. You had local news at 6 and national news at 7 like we do now but without any one ever getting arrested for sex offenses. It was ok to whistle at girls in fact it was encouraged.
We did not have registered sex offenders. Our sex offenders were all un registered back then. We all had that guy on the block. We all at one time or another had to fend off some attack, I assume it was all of us...
People were bad in the 70s. They were just bad. Then we had aides and everything changed again.
Because by then everyone had some kind of STD , I assume...So you settle down.
Mr Cosby is guilty of rape, and so much more. He is a monster and like OJ he is through.

daughters before they get it. I feel for their daughters.

Put me on ignore.

Hmmm.

The statute of limitations for the rape accusations expired long ago. California law removed the statute of limitations for child molestation, but some requirements have to be met. If prosecutors don't think this case meets the requirement for the limitation-free charges, then he walks on this too.

That means no criminal charges at all.
