In almost all the reported cases, these were young people being violated by someone impossibly famous, powerful, and older than they were. These assaults all took place during nights that began with overtures of friendship and collaboration and aid. The nature of rape culture is that other forces beyond clamped hands keep victims’ mouths silent, most of them forces of power that feed into widespread cultural assumptions. To wit: if it took over a decade for the stories of the initial 12 accusers, who filed a joint lawsuit, to truly be taken seriously by the public, how seriously would a single accusation here and there, in the ’60s and ’70s, have been taken by anyone?

It should be paramount in our minds that not a single one of these women has anything material to gain by telling her story. In fact, many of them, despite their numbers and the similarities to their stories, will still be pilloried by fans of the comedian, accused of some sort of nefarious scheme for personal gain.

Uit dit artikel blijkt dat er al beschuldigingen in 2006 zijn geweest, weer geuit door anderen, die zijn afgekocht en dus niet voor het gerecht zijn gekomen. De beschuldigingen komen van teveel verschillende bronnen en zijn gekomen en gegaan de afgelopen tien jaar. Nu kan Cosby ze niet langer meer van zich afschudden.

In January of 2005, a woman accused Bill Cosby of inviting her to his Pennsylvania home a year earlier, drugging her, and molesting her. In the months that followed, 12 more women accused Cosby of similar assaults, both anonymously and in television and magazine interviews, dating from 2005 to as recently as this year. The initial accuser hit the comedian and actor with a civil lawsuit; it was settled out of court in 2006 for an undisclosed sum.

Luister naar dat stukje 'comedy' over Spanish Fly uit 1969. Bill laat zelf dan al aanwijzingen achter van zijn zieke geest.
