Something smells here.

Out of all those accusations:

Why have there never been any charges?

The one that I know of that was investigated resulted in no charges, the prosecutor declined to prosecute - usually meaning there was no evidence to justify a trial or one that could be won.

Why come 'out' about these allegations years - even decades - after the fact, especially after statutes of limitations have long expired?  Is it because now these allegations cannot be officially investigated and the accusers officially questioned?

Why take money if you've supposedly been drugged and raped/sexually abused?  Somehow that doesn't really seem to reasonably equate to justice, just a payoff for making the allegations.

It doesn't seem reasonable to accept that he's been that prolific of a 'rapist' - a serial 'rapist' if you will - and yet he's escaped for decades without charges or trials - even given the known corruption of our justice system.

What I suspect is two fold.  One, he's a powerful entertainment entity and has mega bucks.  It's often far cheaper and more prudent to pay off the usual nuisance accusations than to take them to trial.  We know how commonplace that is, and that it sometimes breeds feeding frenzies of more accusations.  Second, he's irritated a lot, if not most, of new black money - money made from activities/things he's railed on about in public and the media.  It wouldn't be a far stretch to assume that new money just might like a little payback and smackdown to the old self-righteous curmudgeon and take him down at least a peg or two...and to think the accusers would prolly get paid for it out of his pockets too.  It would be a double whammy.

We may never really know the truth.

The news announced that now a woman has came out and said that Cosby molested her 40 years ago. I wonder why these women waited so long to come out and make a case against him? I guess fear.

He has more money and I also have other ideas about what's going on but won't voice them here.

Either way, his career is ruined and I agree with Y we will never really know.

Although, didn't one of the accusers report it years ago right after it allegedly happened?

It is sad that a man who had such a wonderful image and was a tremendous role model had to ruin it all.

Sandy, you may be thinking about a Temple University Jane Doe lawsuit (Temple gave Cosby an honorary degree). I've been following it in the Washington Post:
 
"Three women ... Beth Ferrier, of Colorado, was listed as a Jane Doe victim in a 2005 lawsuit filed by the former director of operations for Temple's women's basketball team who sued Cosby for drugging her and assaulting her in 2004. The second woman, Helen Hayes, said that she met Cosby at a Clint Eastwood celebrity tennis tournament in Pebble Beach, California, in 1973. The third woman only disclosed her first name, Chelan. She said she met Cosby when she was 17 because her stepmother wrote to him to tell him that Chelan wanted to be a model."

Allred took the cases if that tells you anything.  The women in the interviews I watched were reading and kept looking up as if being coached, one wasn't even crying until she looked up and then paused and started that fake cry crap if you know what I mean.  Don't know about you but if something like that had happened to me, even that long ago, I wouldn't need to read from a written statement to tell people about it.

I agree and find it interesting that none of the very attractive Cosby women have mentioned even an uncomfortable feeling with Bill Cosby. With exception to Raven Simone who has a teen following, any of them could use a booster to their careers, but have said nothing.

Again, even that is hearsay and doesn't prove anything, but I'm suspicious of the whole thing.

  I would say at his age his career is pretty much over.  :doh:
