Bill Cosby sex abuse scandal

[Valmy]

I am a bit surprised this is news.  I thought this came out awhile ago.

Anyway growing up in the 80s, finding out Bill Cosby is evil is just a bit more than I can take.  I am doing my very best to ignore it.  Man you just cannot trust anybody anymore.  How many of you guys are evil?

I'm merely Machiavellian.

How many are lawyers?

Assuming the allegations in this case are true, there's no doubt in my mind he would have known what he was doing was wrong.  Drugging someone into unconsciousness so you can molest them is pretty obviously wrong by any moral yardstick.

Fuck.

[Sheilbh]

Well unlikely.  These are all very dated allegations.  I think the most recent I've seen was late 90s.  Seems unlikely he's going to be charged.

I thought 2005?

We've had a few prosecutions of historic sex abuse cases since the Savile story broke and there's Operation Yewtree etc. I don't want to think who but I'd be surprised if similar abuse of power didn't exist in other entertainment industries, especially Hollywood.

But it's OK, because he's an artist.

Fuck.

that's the general idea.

No, he's an entertainer.

Thank you for ruining my Roman Polanski jab, Professor Assburger.

[Eddie Teach]

Anytime.

The most serious trouble he's in is that NBC cancelled his recent pilot, and Netflix has cancelled a comedy show they were going to 'broadcast'.

There's also the trouble of his memory being tarnished.  That's kind of a big deal.

I loved I Spy, his stand-up, Fat Albert, The Cosby Show, etc. and it would be horrible to think the man turned out to be a serial rapist.  My reaction thus far has been to try and not think about it and/or hope it's not true.  Which is pretty much what I did in the early days of the OJ saga

Same here, it's just so incredibly sad.

[Grey Fox]

Women everywhere need to learn to say no and leave. Not just say no & then suffer in silence.

And you say Ide's views on sex are sad and disturbing? 

Yes.

I like having a willing partner, do you?

Depends.  Is CPR going to be involved?  Because I let my certification lapse.
