20 years is a long time ago. If something inappropriate happened, it should have been prosecuted earlier if there was enough evidence to press charges. I wonder why now? Did Cosby do something that required character assassination? And who is behind all of this? And if he really did do something presidential, why is the press not supporting him?
Yes, he did. He dared call out ghetto ******s to pull up their pants and learn English. That offended the reigning niggliarchy, and now he must be destroyed. Character assassination is the NUMBER ONE method employed by our Nazi government and its minions.

Not only have I not been invited into his lawyers office to hear his side of the story, but it's NONE OF OUR BUSINESS!!! Do you really want people to know about your sex life??? I have a life to live with more important things of concern and hope you do too.

Neither here nor there.
Instead of facing criminal charges he chose to buy off the women that were accusing him of rape.

Rape does NOT equal a sex life!
15 women over a period of 40 years have accused him of drugging and raping them.
Each one was laughed at by LEOs because they were accusing Bill Cosby, a famous black man and America's "beloved dad". He was going to court but agreed to pay his accuser a lot of money to avoid that career breaking event.
15 women, mostly white, over a period of 40 years. The statute of limitations has long since passed. They are not looking for money.
Cosby is in the twilight of his career. They aren't ruining his career, only his legacy.
Cosby's "conservative black" views are identical to Louis Farrakhan and the nation of islam for whom he has publicly proclaimed his admiration. He is for gun control and thinks most whites are racists.

So why did ALL of them wait until now to come forward?
Oh yeah, Cosby was too big a name and no one would believe them.....all of them.
Rape kits, etc were available even back then and no one started a police complaint?
From the looks of the vote here on the thread, there's a lot of gullible people here.
I'm surprised.
Dennis' statement is right. Cosby pissed the dark people off.

wonder if there was any insurances involved...they'll settle these types of things out of court to save the cost of the trial...the fact the women were bought off...speaks volumes...I tend to agree with Dennis...Cosby has made some rather pointed comments in the past few yrs regarding blacks getting control of themselves/their lives/neighborhoods and so on...that doesn't go along with the narrative presented by sharpton, jackson, and company...can't have someone like him leaving the reservation...it might cost them personally...and character defamation is beyond simple and extremely cost effective...look what they did to Herman Cain...court of public opinion is cheap blackmail territory when it's used...

Show me a canceled check - show me where it was itemized on a tax return. Show me a reason why a "bought off" woman can now come back eons later to shriek "RAPE"!!! I think there's an old saying about "we know WHAT you are, now, we're just haggling on your price" - I believe she is being paid "under the table" again for being exactly what she has shown herself to be.

there is a legal statute for rape - it is a crime.
no one is talking about jail time
no one is talking about crime
under the liberal system, a person can be stripped of their property and anything else of value anytime the party wants. If they don't want, then they file the allegations for some future date.

What's bothering me is why are all these women eagerly taking drugs that are given them and then assuming that some magical force is going to protect their virtue.
I don't buy the idea that they requested an aspirin and took whatever pills he gave them. Then happily joined him for partying the next day.
I think he's probably a serial philanderer. He searches out barely legal girls and takes advantage of them after plying them with drugs and alcohol.
The non politically correct question is, when is it rape? If two people drink and take drugs together, is it rape? If a woman takes drugs with the knowledge that she's going to be high, is she as much a victim of rape as someone who was grabbed off the street and violently raped?
I don't buy the politically correct idea that all rape is equal. That doesn't make him a nice guy or get him off the hook. But it's the difference between being a dirty old man who should be kept away from young women, and being locked up in jail for the rest of his life.
There is also the revenge motive. How many women did he string along throughout the years. Promising them fame and fortune, only to leave them broke and nameless.
And of course we can't ignore the need for something to distract the public attention from all the other crap going on.

One or even two women making accusations with no other evidence would not hold much weight with me. With over a dozen making essentially similar claims, that has pretty much decided the issue for me: Guilty! Understand that my personal verdict and a buck will (maybe) buy you a cup of coffee. It's only my opinion and has no legal weight whatsoever.
But that's OK. We are all entitled to our personal beliefs and perspectives. This isn't at all the same as a legal criminal or civil verdict. That's OK, too. Too many folks here confuse the two. No one is under any obligation whatsoever to hold an opinion that comports with legal criminal standards. There are all kinds of world-class scumbags walking around who've never done a day in prison or even been arrested.

There was a pic of Cosby speaking, with the Rev. Jackson in the background, on the right, sitting in a chair.
He had the meanest, nastiest, scowl of a look on his face.
There is no doubt he was ticked off at what he was hearing.
Cosby has gotten off the plantation, and he is paying for it.
Even the uber wealthy shall be destroyed.

I'm inclined to say that he is not innocent of playing around; that he did a lot of things he is not proud of. I'm NOT inclined to say it was rape. I AM inclined to believe that character assassination is happening. I AM inclined to think that women thought one thing then and are now rethinking things - for whatever reason. I also believe that some things were covered over then.
Oh how our past can reach forward to bite us in the hinder later!

Trial by jury. I am not on the jury and haven't heard evidence so at this time- no

Yes indeed. Very convenient that all these women are "suddenly" coming out huh?
Let's see.
On one hand you have evidence our President is culpable and participant in a lie perpetrated on our country and on the other hand you have an icon and beloved black comedian caught up in salacious sex/rape charges.
The Prez hasn't turned over The Constitution to the illegals just yet and Ferguson isn't happening at the moment, so, what BIG thing can you can roll out to take the heat off Grubergate???

No court cases. No verdict. 20+ years and NOW chicks are coming out of the woodwork. No allegations from oh the 2000s. Cosby straying from the gibsmedat script. Not guilty, and you "yes" voters IMO are jumping to unfounded conclusions. To a vastly different degree, you're acting like the good people of Ferguson two days after the shooting.
I didn't vote since there wasn't a comment for 'who cares?'
I choose to leave that in the past, recall and enjoy the wonderful humor and good advice he dished up in his TV series', and let the rest stay in the past. If it were something that happened recently (last year or so) I'd say, lets look into this but 20 years? Come on folks, have we nothing better to do with our time?

Yup. He did it.
Many people pay off because it is simply cheaper than fighting an allegation in court. Especially when the publicity can ruin your career or business. There are people, so-called, who make large sums of money making such accusations and then settling out of court.

Anyone accused of a crime is PRESUMED INNOCENT, until proven guilty in a court of law by PROOF BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT. Mr. Cosby remains not guilty unless proven otherwise by due process. I think it is disgraceful that media figures like Nancy Grace are continually putting people on trial by media. I think Grace is a vindictive witch who often tries to taint jury pools in advance of trials.
Trial by public opinion is ugly. I have no idea whether or not Cosby is guilty of rape. Just like the Ferguson mess -- mob rule is lynching the police officer without waiting on due process. I would hate to think our country had descended to convicting people without waiting for legal process to be completed.

It really doesn't matter what we. or anyone else thinks. Tonight they reported on the news that NBC has cancelled all reruns of his shows and the new project he was involved with via a different network has been cancelled also. So Cosby is done, no matter if it is true or not. It will take years to sort it all out in the courts, most likely. But the court of public opinion has already convicted and sentenced him. 
Whatever happened to innocent until proven otherwise? 
Down the drain, along with the rest of our former rights.

^^^^THIS, but that doesn't mean he didn't do it. I think this is common with all Hollywood types that make it. They use their success & power to control young things, not right, but it is the age old story. Musicians, Politians, profession Sports, CEO's to any mega corporation & even college professors...YEP many probably have used their position for sex and or rape. It was also the '70's, 80's, 90's times frame, times started being much more promiscuous.
The girls calling rape did what they wanted to, they ruined his reputation. His new show has been canceled already.
this poll is an opinion as we don't have hard proof one way or t'other
