BILL COSBY ACCUSED OF RAPE

[Duchess]

I just hope to God that none of you are ever a victim of a sexual assault, then you won't have to keep asking, "Why did they wait so long to speak up?" There are several reasons, e.g. ...who has the power here....would anyone believe them.....no, of course not.....and some still do not believe them.....and then you keep wondering why they didn't speak up sooner.

I'm pretty sure that those who have questioned this are strong individuals who would never keep something like this to themselves. They/we cannot relate to that mindset in any way so we question what we don't understand. Most people with a backbone who are wronged speak up, they don't wait for a lifetime to pass before mentioning it. Speaking only for myself, I cannot fathom keeping my mouth shut about this kind of thing. You can bet your ass if someone put their hands on me in a manner I didn't like nor want they will be paying for that one way or another, the last thing I'd do is keep my mouth shut.

I believe Bill Cosby is guilty of what he has been accused of but I don't have any sympathy for those who made the choice not to come forward until now. That's on them and I don't want to see any of their friggin' tears and bleating that they didn't say something because they thought no one would believe them. I think that's lame.
