Thanks. I honestly thought (although I admit that I didn't pay much attention at the time) that he actually attacked to the point of violent rape and might have possibly given the women some kind of date rape drug.
IF -- and this is a big IF as I don't know much about this kind of thing at all -- I wouldn't think it would be much different than getting a woman high or drunk in order to make her more vulnerable. I definitely could be wrong about that! But if I am right, it seems to me that a long prison sentence is too harsh, as I would suspect that many males have been guilty of doing something similar -- NOT that this makes it okay! (It is most definitely NOT okay!)
Exactly and I am not saying things like this are ok also, however there are many women who are into that lifestyle. Why else would they take the drug? What do people take Molly at parties for? What do they take Extasy for? What do people do all those other party drugs for? Why do some people love to get "bent" with alcohol at clubs and parties? What is the expectation when you take them with someone? To have intelligent conversations? It makes you smarter, run faster, see better? Lol.
And this is for the other cases that have come out with the same thing where the women admit they took the drug offered to them.
Won't comment of Cosby's guilt or innocence, but I wish folk would appreciate the importance of DA's (or any entity's) offices being bound by its agreement(s), regardless of who's the DA. How many "lay folk" were victims of offices "changing their minds," due to a new DA in charge?
Maybe hopefully this case can domino effect into others where things can get revealed on whether their cases were done the same way.
Can you imagine if you partied with women and then years later were falsely convicted of something that you didn't do? Terrible.
There really needs to be some sort of time limit for these accusations- if I get beaten and robbed, it would be absurd for me to go to the authorities about it 5 years later. It needs to be the same way for alleged rape/sexual assault/sexual harassment victims. In all frankness, allegations from unscrupulous women years or even decades after the alleged "sex crime" happened should never see the light of day in a halfway sane society.
The problem of course is that none of these 66 women or the 33 women posted elsewhere made the charge in a reasonable period of time. At this point it is likely they are motivated by large potential settlements. I would also suspect virtually none have a case for proving it beyond a reasonable doubt.
Did he do it beyond a reasonable doubt? Virtually impossible to demonstrate after this period of time.
I would think he might consider suing a few of these ladies. After a couple get hit for a million or so I will bet you the others go away.

This doesn’t prove him innocent. It just means he got out on a technicality; ironically related to him admitting to drugging and assaulting a woman.
