BC is being accused by the media of sexual assaults and there are a growing number of woman who have spoken out against him, but no charges.


Netflix and NBC have pulled productions but he's officially guilty of nothing and it's clear that these companies cannot afford to take the risk of being associated with a possible sex criminal.


But there is no longer any such thing as innocent until proven guilty in the world of celebrity sex offences.


No smoke without fire ?

According to some of the interviews, most of those involved have been paid off and gagged along the way.


Does innocent until proven guilty apply in the US or is it just a British principle? I don't think the process works that way in France, for example.

How long have people said about saville "we should have known. We should have done something"


Cosby isn't on trial and isn't imprisoned. The allegations (or many of them) have been public for years and as is the way of abused people, seeing others talk about their experience encourages others. You might be suspicious if it was one or two, but no way am I dismissing that many people.

It's a pretty consistant M.O


Money, money, money, talks in cases like this


And on listening to a radio programe about wealth, I wonder if the same applies in cases like this


It doesn't matter how you make your wealth, it's how you launder you image after


So it might follow with deviant sexuality, in cases like Saville and Cosby perhaps, that the image is laundered to such a point, as to be a near fortress


Pretty shocking tho

Are we really any better? Rolf Harris, for example.


As soon as the allegations become public, almost everyone will assume that when there's smoke there's fire. How can you keep something like this under wraps?

What I don't understand about the whole Bill Cosby thing is that it appears to be operating completely outside the criminal justice system. Has nobody been to the police? Why has he not been arrested? It appears to be mostly about reputational damage on his part. Can anyone shed any light on this?

That'll be about the same time that he was last relevant.

  • 2 years later...

It seems from the documentary that the game changer in this is that only one accusation is within the 30 years statute of limitations, but for that one he gave a testimony to police in private before charges were dropped on the most recent sexual assault. The victim then filed a private prosecution and gave up her anonymity.


Associated Press in 2015 successfully claimed for that testimony to be made available and succeeded. Apparently in the testimony he admitted to drugging women in the past.


This should all come out at trial.


Many think that his philanthropy over the last 30 years is his way of hedging against, or making some payback (in his own mind) for his earlier demeanours.


But it seems that he couldn't keep the old BC from coming out and assaulting one more time and for that reason he's going to feel the full force of the law/public opinion.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
