Cosby was date raping these women. It is very hard to proof date rape.
Sure he did. But I usually with-hold judgment when the accusations first pop up decades after the fact. I believe the ones who complained all along (and they are more than one) but not the ones who only popped up once it became a thing in the media. They may be honest but they may also have wanted to take advantage of the other cases in hopes of a fat pay-out. I dont know what happened, Im just saying Im more inclined to believe women who have complained for long. When they seem to react to some other development, I just doubt it.
I remember reading somewhere that Michael Jackson's first claimed victim from the 1994 accusations made some comments after he had grown up that implied he had been coached/manipulated by his dad to say what he said for his family to get some money. Since then, I always doubt unprovable accusations levelled at very rich famous people. At least when the claims are long-running, it seems more believable that the victim isnt lying even though hard evidence may otherwise be missing.
But when something might be gained and it seems sudden, there's no track record of a complaint anywhere, I acknowledge it may in fact be true but still feel it imprudent to say it is without further proof.
