"Testimony from the lawsuits include Mr Cosby admitting he gave women a sedative, Quaaludes, when he wanted to have sex with them"

These investigations into Cosby seems to have been going on for years. Not sure why it has taken so long to come to the point when an actual formal charge has been made.

Not before time it seems.

She "sued Mr Cosby in 2005 and settled for an undisclosed sum after no charges were brought." Sorry, lost me.

Naomi: 'statute of limitations not yet expired'

naomi24

But she settled for an undisclosed sum. I'd have thought that was an end to it.

ummmm

She's not the only victim.

naomi24

She's the only one mentioned here.

/The case was re-opened after dozens of women alleged assault from Mr Cosby, dating back to the 1970s/

naomi24

But it seems he's only been charged with an incident involving her.

This latest chapter in the Crosby Saga has come just a few days after he himself started legal procedures to sue some of the women involved.

I can see this case, if it ever comes to Court, to run and run.

My wife is adamant that she would never accept a financial settlement if she were in that position. She would want to see the man sentenced by the court because accepting cash after the event would make it a late payment to a prostitute.

ummmm

But she's not a prostitute and she wouldn't suddenly become one for accepting a settlement.

hc....I trust your wife would not have put herself into the position in the first place !

Who knows what she would have done when she was young and naive?

Agree with Naomi

///It is the second time there has been an investigation into Ms Constand's complaint against the actor, who won acclaim for playing a family doctor and model father in The Cosby Show.
In 2005, after no charges were brought when she first made the accusation, she sued him ***and settled for an undisclosed sum***.///

How can that happen?
