Cosby has a target on his back. He has a reputation. He's an easier mark than other, I guess.

What makes him an easier mark than the other hundreds of celebs?

...along with the people around him who protected and enabled him. It's beginning to sound like there were plenty who simply didn't want the gravy train to end.

He may be innocent in the eyes of the law, but that certainly doesn't mean he is.

Would you want your daughter to have dinner alone with Bill Cosby to discuss a career move?

Would you want your daughter to fall in love with and move in with OJ?

Would you want Casey Anthony to babysit your toddler?

I can't see how any amount of money or fame or special treatment would make me shut up about some creep doing this to women. Selling out or being bought out must put those people in their own mental prison... maybe some of them.

Probably not but that doesn't mean he's guilty. OJ Simpson and Casey Anthony are different cases. Whether you personally believe they got away with murder is up for debate.

The answer was in my post.

His reputation. Was he not accused of this many years ago?

It sure wouldn't shut me up, but you can't be saying it doesn't happen.

And as long as someone brought up OJ, another one who got away with something, let's consider the Browns, who knew he was beating the bleep out of their daughter, but didn't want their gravy train to end.

It happens.

Not only the points you brought up, but why go after Bill with such old "stories"? If this was about money for these victims, they'd say it happened recently. For a woman/women after money, to get a man in legal trouble or their 15 minutes of fame, B.C. would be the last man they'd pick. His fake family man reputation makes it harder for the masses to believe it, and its too late to have him criminally charged. There's nothing in it but a hard time, and reputation trashing for these women. If I had been raped by B.C., I wouldn't dare tell my story after seeing what these victims have gone through.

There's way too many for them to expect hush money, and too publicized to receive $$$ anyhow. I wonder what the naysayers think the women are gaining from coming "out'?

I want to personally thank you Adelphi for your informative and heartfelt posts. I wish I could rep every one of them.
