Bill Cosby sexual assault cases - Wikipedia

Worth a close reading of this. I would not want Bill Cosby anywhere near my grand niece, nieces, or anyone else.

He was released from a just sentence on a legal technicality to punish a prosecutor for that man's actions or negligence in his practice of the law. What about the victims and where is the equity in this?

This is also deeply troubling.

However, some people can separate fiction from reality. Dr. Huxtable was a great role-model. He was also a fictional character on a sit-com. Bill Cosby, the actor who played Dr. Huxtable, is an incredibly talented actor. He was also a sexual predator. I say was, because I'm going out on a limb here and assuming that he isn't capable of being a predator of any kind, anymore, and no woman in their right mind would let him buy them a drink, anymore.

There are many kinds of sexual exploitation. Two stand out to me;

One done by men when they say or do things untruthfully to coerce a woman to have sex and use drugs or alcohol. (That method is very old)

The other is the kind when a woman uses a man for monetary gain or attaining a more powerful position of some kind for having sex. (Even people holding high positions in government have used these) (That method is also very old.)

My mother said this to us girls; "They won't buy the cow, if they get the milk free." That seems to not be valid anymore.

Bill Cosby was Bill Cosby the comedian before he played Dr. Huxtable. I'm sure that most of us remember Bill Cosby talking about his real wife and kids during his stand up routines. Everyone loved him and found him to be very relatable.

Then these shocking allegations came out and this is simply not something that people wanted to believe about the man. How could funny, lovable, decent Bill Cosby have such a dark side to his character?

Phylicia Rashad worked closely with Bill Cosby for years and never saw that side to him. I'm not sure how that's possible given the number of women Cosby is alleged to have assaulted over the years....but I do believe Phylicia when she says that she never saw Cosby behaving inappropriately towards women.

The whole thing is a tragedy on so many different levels. It's one of those things that a lot of people don't want to believe. But if he actually admitted to drugging women in order to have his way with then what else can we believe? It's horrible.

Bill Cosby Allegedly Fired Lisa Bonet from A Different World for Getting Pregnant

The civil suits against Crosby are unlikely to produce beneficial results for the women suing Crosby, assuming his asset protection lawyers are competent. The man has good lawyers, and it is unlikely that he will not use all the time he has between these suits being filed and the resulting judgments being entered, to get himself in a position to avoid paying any judgments. While the law prevents someone from "giving away" assets to avoid judgments (i.e. fraudulent transfers) one can always retain one's assets while merely changing the form of the assets from assets which are not exempt from judgment creditors to assets which are exempt from judgment creditors. I am unaware of how homestead law works in PA, but there is a good reason OJ now resides in Florida, where your homestead, irrespective of value, is exempt from the claims of creditors. Also, in Florida, annuities are assets which are exempt from the claims of creditors, and I would assume that Crosby and his lawyers are smart enough to know these things. Wouldn't be surprised to see Crosby sell his home in PA and move to FL, after having most, if not all, of his liquid cash assets converted into annuities. While doing these things are always inconvenient, and sometimes difficult to accomplish, in any case, these are just two of many ways to validly and legally
prevent creditors from taking your assets.

They already sued him, and they already got paid. He was criminally prosecuted AFTER those lawsuits.

He was sued by 7 women for defamation, his insurance carrier settled wo his approval, it wasn't required. Cosby was angry his carrier settled, he maintains his innocence as of this day. "Each of the plaintiffs were satisfied with the settlement."

Another abandoned her claim.

There is one pending.

Please provide reference to one co-star that spoke out against him.

Denise Huxtable was an unmarried college student when married Lisa Bonet became pregnant. It was pitched that Denise would give birth and raise the baby alone. Bill said, Lisa Bonet is pregnant, Denise Huxtable is not." Guess he had a vision of the traditional family and its values. So it seems Bill didn't fire Lisa bc she was pregnant, she simply didn't fit the role he wanted portrayed.

Right. Like a typical Dad has how many women accusing him of sexual assault in some way?

Right. Funny how they came out of the woodwork. All at the same time.

Do you have a reference to back up your claim? Or no?

The laughable leftist LA Times is behind a pay wall and I'm not paying to read that crap.

Is there a co-star lending to the accuser's credibility within this LA Times article??? THAT was the request, one co-star speaking out against BC. Bc I found nothing in my search for same. Nothing where a co-star said he exhibited un-welcomed behavior. Nothing suggesting such behavior was part and parcel w BC. Yet there you are posting articles and putting YOUR inflammatory spin on same.

I feel sorry for his victims. I think we can say he is no threat anymore except psychologically which can be just as bad as psychically. Time will solve this one. If he assaulted as many as came forward and made a claim I would imagine revenge of some sort is on their mind.

He will be fighting lawsuits till his grave.
