I don't kno bro...a successful Black dude like Cosby who came up in the era he came up in...seem like they woulda been eager to pull the plug on him if he was out here raping white bitches all willy nilly. Not like he was a tap dancing negro of his time.
And they say 13 women came forward, but most of them anonymous. How many actually came out publicly?
And who takes settlement money after believing to be raped? That changes you from victim to another woman who was paid for their services
Also who settles out of court but is then allowed to keep talking about it? Don't these things come with a gag-order?
Whole thing kinda strange but it's not adding up.
The gag-order if there was one could have been lifted, or only lasted for a certain amount of time
Who takes settlement money after being raped? A rape victim after the prosecution declines to persue a criminal case due to insufficient evidence
Rape cases are very hard to prosecute criminally ... Out of every 100 rapes, only 4 lead to a felony conviction
To get a jury, judge to convict bill Cosby of rape at the height of his fame woulda been close to impossible. Especially if the victims didn't immediately get a drug screen for date rape drugs, there was no eye witnesses or DNA
The element of control in civil remedies is also an important factor. In the criminal system, victims of rape are merely state witnesses...In a civil case, they have a voice in the decision making process. And obviously the burden of proof is often lighter in the civil courts
Many attorneys actually encourage sexual assault and rape victims to pursue civil claims because of the aforementioned and to help pay for their legal fees, missed time at work, psychiatric services, medical bills, etc
Not saying Cosby did anything wrong, but we have to ask out all wealthy men out there why has he been targeted by 13 different women some of whom never sought criminal or civil charges
