Is Bill Cosby a rapist?

[secret love]

Well, since a jury delivered a unanimous verdict (a finding of fact) that Rolf Harris is a sex offender, nothing is off the cards for Bill Cosby or other male and even female celebrities.

My verdict would be that he is guilty, given his protestations that it is all crap or nonsense, I really think he doth protest too much!

Pretty sure he did it although every time Janice Dickinson opens her mouth I feel raped. 😖

Given how many people have come forward and how similar their stories are, yeah, I'm definitely inclined to believe he's a serial rapist. Rape isn't about sex but about power and he used situations where he was already the one with the power to push things even further and I find it ironic when people don't want to believe he could've done it on the grounds of his fame and all when that's exactly the point, this is a man who likes power... I think it takes a certain kind of person to endure fame and strive for it, doubly so if they're any sort of minority and while obviously many, if not most do not become abusers, I don't think its so surprising when we hear famous people have raped or comitted other acts of violence. So many other examples there too.

I didn't want to believe it either but there're just too many people saying yet another celebrity has used his status to behave terribly and evade responsibility over a long period. I join in withdrawing that cover for them. He is very talented and charming but it does nobody good to willfully remained blinkered to reality.

Is he accused of raping these women when they were children, or when they were adults? If it does turn out to be true, it will be quite scary to think how he has potentially, intimidated the women to remain silent for so long. He could possibly die in jail like Rolf Harris looks set to do!

Me too.I hate to believe that he got into trouble with this.

I always like his acting and the Cosby show.

Also on the other hand there are golddiggers out there just want whats left of his money ever if he wasn't involve with him.

It was on the news today. NBC does not want to do with Bill Cosby anymore.

One allegation against Cosby has already collapsed - it turns out he wasn't even in L.A. at the time the woman said he raped her, in L.A.

I'm not saying this means he's innocent of all allegations, but it demonstrates a bandwagon effect, and leads me to wonder how many others might be false accusations.
