Despicable scum. If he'd done that here in the U.K. he'd be going to gaol. No statute of limitations on crimes here - nor should there be.
Ask any of the several high profile sex offenders recently locked up for historic crimes.

I agree with fish at this point though. It was probably consensual at the time and now they just want some money.
If Cosby is guilty of sexual assault he needs to be in jail. That needs to be proven though. I just hate when these high profile people are dragged (or is it drug) through the mud out of greed and jealousy.
Hell I still don't fully believe Michael Jackson was guilty.
The Shop
And Wreck-a-lot, how many women take date rape drugs as part of consensual sex? Several separate women with the same story all un-aware of the other accusations.
There are statute of limitations on certain crimes. I don't know whether this falls under those statutes. The Penn state deal occurred many years before the perv was indicted so this may not fall under those statutes.
Something just seems out of place with the timing. What burden of proof do they have? How do they prove that they were drugged? Do they have test results? The story I read was that they allegedly agreed to take hush money. Now they want more money so they no longer remain hush. . . Something smells like a fish here. If it was so important to them, why in the world would they have taken hush money? At this point it almost comes across as a blackmail attempt. . .
I'm not arguing that he's innocent. He could very well be guilty and if that's the case, it's disappointing to say the least and he needs to pay the consequences. I just find it ridiculous that these women didn't speak up at the time it happened. Where there's smoke, there's usually fire. Lance Armstrong's fiasco went down similar as did Letterman's.
Here is a good article explaining the statute of limitations. Sounds like it's an uphill battle.
Again, not saying he's innocent, but why did these women wait as long as they did to come forward. And why are they coming forward now if they know the statute of limitations has expired? It seems like a ploy for airtime, defamation and blackmail attempt to me.
SCOTT SIMON: This question gives me no pleasure Mr. Cosby, but there have been serious allegations raised about you in recent days.
BILL COSBY: [SILENCE, 2 SECONDS]
SIMON: You're shaking your head no. I'm in the news business. I have to ask the question. Do you have any response to those charges?
COSBY: [SILENCE, 2 SECONDS]
SIMON: Shaking your head no. There are people who love you who might like to hear from you about this. I want to give you the chance.
COSBY: [SILENCE, 5 SECONDS]
SIMON: All right. Camille and Bill Cosby — they have lent 62 pieces from their collection of African and African-American artists to create an exhibit called 'Conversations: African and African-American Artworks In Dialogue.' It's now on display at the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art through early 2016. Thank you both for joining us.
CAMILLE COSBY: Thank you. Thank you.
Having said that, in Hollyweird anything can happen. The whole thing could have been engineered by rivals to torpedo his new show, which it did. But that doesn't mean the accusations are not true.
I feel they would've been blackmailing him for years if this had any truth, but we will see.
if someone drugs a person and they consent is it rape ?
Cosby will be a hero for gentleness while they were unconscious and the mixed signals a splayed out woman sends,not his fault.
I'm not saying Cosby is innocent, but the women didn't do themselves any favors and are in their position because of their own inaction. Doesn't make it right, but it's the way the system works. They had years and years and years before the statute expired. Plenty of time to think it through and get legal council.
"Back then, the desire on our part to move forward was pretty strong," Castor said. " The problem with the case was she waited a year until she told police about it . "
The prosecutor should shut up and not comment wether the allegations are credible or not as long as there is no case or lawsuit. It´s a violation of his right to be considered innocent until proven guilty (which they can´t, they have zero evidence)
It´s laughable how easy it is to make such allegations to make someone look bad, especially when they don´t come forward until years or decades have passed. Maybe he was a douche, so what? Prove it! Go to the police as soon as possible.
As if we haven´t seen this happen before. One attention hoe goes out in public with allegations and soon a bunch of these retards follow suit. It´s interesting how they rarely choose to be anonymous, like most real victims....
Pit Row
I'm thinking they didn't want those things in the book because it amounted to slander.
I'll wait to see what comes forward, but I'm not throwing a man under the bus in a place like Hollywood where women just are not that moral until some actual evidence is shown.
Another is selling a book and making a killing here.
Another had such high morals she was a playboy bunnie.
He didn't know one of them altogether.
And as time goes on I'm betting we see more stories crumble.
He sounds like a dirty old man, but not a rapist from the stories I'm hearing.
I never have liked the guy, but I dislike the idea of opportunists doing things for notoriety.
The guy has more money than he knows what to do with so he wasn't lacking for good legal representation.....

But the strangest thing is, they often don´t need to gain anything. There are plenty of examples where "victims" have lied for no apparent reason at all.
However, bringing this stuff up now, when it is too late, and with their full name in the public - give me a break!
Cosby is 77 and probably very wealthy, aside from causing him emotional problems I don't think this will ruin his life, more like just tarnish his pompous reputation.
