If he did it, God will make him answer for it. And I believe that. Until then, absent an arrest and a trial, he should be allowed to make a living.

I agree with you . But there is the one he paid off in 2006. Anyway, I think the Man has more money than He can spend in His Lifetime. He could easily Retire now Comfortably. I voted for Herman Cain too. I thought He would make a Great POTUS!
What is interesting, is the Liberal Media is all over these allegations, when they usually Protect Democrats! Especially Black Males. Just sayin.
Whether He did these awful things or not, only God knows. And YES, God WILL Hold Him accountable!

Statute of Limitations has run out. Unless he has been naughty recently, the only "court" that will try him is the court of public opinion.

There have been many young, hoping to make the big time, gals who have been taken advantage of, or not, hoping that sex might be the push that will get them their stardom through the influence of the star. I believe I have read that 5 years and many abuses after the first "abuse" the gal was still in his sphere. I have no idea. Sex is the currency of the business, everyone is beautiful and the $ rewards of success are huge. Who doesn't think things go wrong on a pretty consistent basis. It seems that the charges all were filed after the statute of limitations had run out. How outraged were they if it took that long to complain? Just saying. If he paid one to shut up, I believe he is probably a scumbag. If not perhaps he is a victim himself? Rich and famous people find sex pretty available.... perhaps he failed to fall in love or to buy a ring? Or to get her a show on the idiot box or the movies. I always liked him, found him and thoughtful and had great sympathy for the loss of his son. I would like to think it is all BS. but I do not know. Sometimes I think I should have been in show business. Can you say Jennifer Lawrence?

Who knows? We are all speculating of course. If the accusers all have a similar story (they seem to) and they didn't know each other, sounds bad for old Bill.

The statements by the former prosecutor seem damning, especially if he made them long ago. (he may want to write a book?)

I worked sex crimes long time ago and it's common that women clam up and say nothing, the recent revelations easily fuel more victims to come forward because now someone may believe them. It seems similar to the domestic violence issues with NFL players, they are treated like royalty, get all the breaks and feel above the law. Look at FSU, Ravens and other examples.

Lots of these famous folks that portray wonderful folks turn out to be real dicks in real life. Whatever happens to Cosby, I will say that big eye thing gives me the creeps.

Pig, I agree with you on firearms choice/issues, but differ here, it's not just one allegation. I handled a rape case against a gynecologist years ago (he put a contract out on me and they actually entered my home while I was away) and during the investigation, we found two more victims that never spoke up. They came forward out of guilt that they should have done something that might have saved someone else. One lady told me she never thought of anything but herself and she should have considered he might do it again to another.

"scotti, who worked as a facilities manager for the Brooklyn NBC Studio where “Cosby Show” was filmed, told the New York Daily News that he arranged for monthly payments and more for eight women during “The Cosby Show’s” run from 1984-1992. He claimed some women would receive as much as $2,000 at a time."

"Cosby now has claims against him from at least 15 women with varying charges of sexual assault. Since the allegations resurfaced, NBC has pulled a project with him, Netflix postponed a stand-up special it was going to stream and TV Land has stopped airing re-runs of “The Cosby Show.”
