BILL COSBY ACCUSED OF RAPE

[blueberryhill]

Back in the "old" days, it used to be "Innocent until proven guilty"!

Not so much today, today "it's guilty until proven innocent".

Back in the dark ages, it wasn't always innocent until proven guilty in rape cases. It was usually the victim who was guilty until proven innocent and guess what, it is still the same today. Blaming the victim is alive and well. Cosby's public persona would over ride any possible allegations made against him. As far as ladies going back for more....if they were drugged, they could justify it didn't happen as they really though Cosby could help them reach their goal of stardom.

If you do any research at all about this man, you will see what a prick he was to work with and the facts that rumors about his sexual aggressiveness was being talked about 45 years ago. Wow, and people are still talking about it. Must not be true, let's sweep this under the rug and move forward. This man is a rapist (IMO) and will not change. Research Human Sexuality 101....and look up "Bill Cobsy is an asshole" on the internet. Read a few things written by people who worked with this man. Some of the ladies he allegedly raped didn't use good judgement perhaps, but that doesn't mean they deserved to be raped. Again, look up how many times rapes go unreported due to reasons being discussed in this forum. It was a tough thing to go to trial and prove rape back in the day. There were no rape kits, it was he said, she said, and the person with the most power was who people believed. Today, going to trial is still difficult to contend with, and I completely understand why most women wouldn't want to go through this (even with DNA from rape kit). Your reputation is destroyed and you are made to feel like a criminal....Gee, wonder why this is most under reported crime in the nation? If you have been drinking, you blame yourself, you're embarrassed, u don't want family to know, u know u will have to face rapist in court, and so on. and if the rapist is famous, oh well, no one is going to believe you so gonna keep my mouth shut. I agree that they should not have gone back, but they screwed up and they did, and he continued his bad behavior. He needs to be accountable for that.
