Is he completely off the hook
now that we know that it was Harvey Weinstein who was behind it all?
shareHad to giggle...regret it but still...nice one!

There is still some mystery about consent, but yeah - he's pretty much cheated on his wife and abused a position of privilege on a few occasions.
Could be the false accusers are spoiling any true ones with their stories though.
Delicate stuff, particularly if it turns out it was all consensual.
Odd that you would bring this up now though RussellNash.
A few occasions? 100 people stepped forward to give their accounts of Cosby's sexual abuse/inappropriateness/actual rape. 13 of them back when, in court, when it was hushed up by the media. A couple of them may be bandwagon-jumpers, sure, and that's horrible. But out of 100?? Come on. Especially in light of what's been revealed about Weinstein, which is the same abuse of power, in the same industry.
shareAaah! Just like the good old days at IMDB! ☺
shareI query the consent issue - the actual part about it being rape and I'm against you why?
Because I'm saying there could be people making any actual rape allegations weaker by having their stories told alongside potential true ones and weakening a class action law suit?
I hope he gets off and caught for an actual rape afterwards. Then at least he can be tried on one case with no interference from people looking to make a buck.
Just a real shame any other actual victims won't get their retribution but hey, at least he'll get done for an actual rape as oppose to some women further raping actual rape victims because bucks!!
I heard you touch young boys by the way, why do you do that?
I've got a pile who'll come and and say you have and so don't play that "It never happened card" to me. The...oh...I dunno...1000 Indian boys I can muster up for a couple of hundred dollar to give testimony.
Admit it, you are a kiddie fiddler and should lose access to all your liberties!
1000 kids can't all be lying can they?
Logic and mate.
When did I say anything about your being against me, and why would you assume that? I agreed with you that if there were any who were a bandwagon-jumper, that's horrible. Did you miss that? Yes, of course it would weaken any law suit of which they're a part, and give those who are actual victims even less of a chance of getting justice and retribution than they already have.
Cool, perhaps I was being a bit hot-headed over the fact. I just want to see justice and not mob rule on these ones as mobs always have people looking to either take advantage or cause mischief for the sake of it.
Real victims should be heard and not exploited further.
You didn't say they should either, so an over reach at my end.
Glad you kept an even keel on this and stopped me from flying off the edge with my reasoning :)
Thanks. It takes a big, and reasonable, person to admit s/he may have been overreacting or overreaching.
I think everyone wants to see justice -- that is, to see that real victims get justice, and real abusers (including those who are making false accusations, who are guilty of a different kind of abuse) get it too. The sad reality is with these types of cases, justice is less likely to happen than it is to happen. I don't have any answers on how to rectify this.
seems so
