BILL COSBY ACCUSED OF RAPE

[HairOfTheDog]

We're discussing what's been alleged by the women and witnesses and our opinions of it, Maggot. That's what we do, even though our third party posts aren't relevant to the trial outcome, of course.

The trial is in relation to Andrea Constand. The DA and the judge determined there's probable cause to charge Cosby with sexual assault and go to trial.

It happened in 2004, not the 60s or 70s or 80s. Constand wasn't at Woodstock or Studio 54. She was an athletic director at Cosby's alma mater and was in a relationship with a woman at the time Cosby gave her pills that he claimed were herbal supplements, after which she lost consciousness and woke up sore and in disarray (according to her police statement).

She had a platonic/mentor friendship with Cosby before the incident, that's not disputed. When confronted, Cosby claimed that she enjoyed it. When police informed him that she was gay, Cosby admitted that he didn't know that, according to the civil suit he settled.

Anyway, Cosby didn't claim she was a groupie or druggie party girl or anything like that. That would have been easily disproved. He instead claimed they had consensual sex.

But, yeah, it'll be interesting to see if the prosecution can make its case and secure a conviction.
