[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1193898, member: 20599"] To all those asking why these women are just now bringing up these issues: it appears most of them were actually brought up many years ago but Cosby was in the prime seat in Hollywood (heyday of the Cosby Show, etc) and was too powerful for the stories to get any media traction. Also, keep in mind that in the 1980s (and he77, even in some backward places and brains today), it was not considered "rape" if you knew the guy, or were on a date when it happened. I have personally known three people who were raped. All three were in college at the time. One (a relative) was assaulted and raped while sound asleep in her dorm room one night. Another was kidnapped and taken into woods off campus. She was able to lead the police back there the next day, and they found him there raping another woman. (She looked me in the eye once and said, with deadly calm: "I will not go through that again. The next time, he will die or I will die, but I will not go through that again" ). The third woman was my brother's then-girlfriend. In only 1 of the three cases was justice served. Very often the women attacked are too traumatized to do anything right away. They are literally in shock. In the 3 cases above, they were late teens or maybe 20 at most. PTSD is very common as a result. [/QUOTE]
