BILL COSBY ACCUSED OF RAPE

[HairOfTheDog]

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for people to come forward and say, "yeah, I was an accomplice to serial rape" even if Bill Cosby is guilty and others helped him cover, for obvious reasons rams.

But, there's a post upthread about retired NBC rep, Frank Scotti, who claims that he quit working for Cosby when he suspected what was really going on. He also says the owner of the modeling agency who sent girls for Cosby to audition had to know what she was getting those girls into. Scotti had nothing to lose by coming forward, he'd quit Cosby years ago. Just like with the women, you can choose to believe him or not.

Bill Cosby has not filed defamation suits against his accusers, standard practice for false claims made against celebrities. However, some of his accusers have filed defamation suits against him for publicly claiming they were lying. If those claims go to civil court, Cosby will need to defend himself or settle in order to avoid being questioned about the allegations (as he did back in 2006).

Some people think it's obvious that Bill Cosby drugged and raped at least some of his accusers and respect the rights of his accusers to speak their peace publicly (to get a public dialogue started or for other purposes). I'm in that camp. Some will never believe the allegations or will remain undecided without tangible physical evidence. And some figure he's guilty but think the women should just get over it and fuck off. I don't think those opinions are likely to change unless photographic or audio evidence emerges, which is highly unlikely given the private and secretive nature of the alleged crimes.
