Jay Leno on Bill Cosby Scandal: Why is It So Hard to Believe the Accusers?
People ^ | 01/21/15

Posted on 01/21/2015 4:32:14 PM PST by BunnySlippers

The 64-year-old comedian and former host of The Tonight Show told TV executives Wednesday that he doesn't understand why "it's so hard to believe women."

"You to go Saudi Arabia and you need two women to testify against a man," Leno said at the annual National Association of Television Program Executives convention, Variety reports. "Here you need 25."

Why is it possible that they're delusional and/or lying? For starters,Cosby's worth tens of millions...if not hundreds of millions...of dollars.

That would buy the teenage daughters of lots of lawyers a new Ferrari.

He was, but now the hard left has ex-communicated him.

Why would you compare the two?

Because they are so similar, that’s why. The Sandusky accusers actually had LESS evidence than the Cosby accusers BTW. In fact, the Sandusky accusers had no DNA, no video, no witnesses that could identify any victim of abuse, no police reports on several of the abuse allegations (one of the boys had told the police after the alleged abuse happened, but they didn’t take it seriously and told Sandusky to stop showering with boys).

I find it awfully incredible that all the people that defend Cosby for lack of “evidence” don’t defend Sandusky too.

What facts and evidence? Where’s the video, the DNA, the police reports after it happened-not waiting months or years to report it? Don’t tell me: you just believed all those people just because they said it happened?

That is an awful lot of women ranging in ages from 24 through their mid 70s, describing events covering 5 decades and in a number of states and cities, to just be lying for all these years.

True. And most of the women are not asking for any money. And most did not come forward until a comedian told everyone to google "Cosby rape," bringing attention to their cases from decades ago. But nothing will convince some Freepers, who are certain all women are lying, money-grubbing whores, while all men are saints.

Um, at least thirteen of them have been in line since 2005. So no, your statement is not true.

No, I agree with you. I was replying to another poster who was comparing the women who are alleging rape to Holocaust survivors.

People should remember that about 15 of these women, while mostly remaining anonymous, had already said that Cosby had raped or assaulted them and had said so 10 years or more ago.

There are new ones, who have come forward, but plenty of old ones.

And that in the ten years since then, they failed to file any sort of charges against him.

so good riddance to the lot of them.

We already have seen that some women haters troll these threads because it gives them a chance to vent against the female sex, and pretend that it is only because they think that Bill Cosby has never raped, drugged, or sexually assaulted a woman, and is totally innocent of all that he is accused of by all of these women.

ansel12 :" You think that Andrea Constand, director of operations for Temple University’s women’s basketball team,
sold her body to Cosby instead of him drugging and raping her?"

I don't believe that I had said that she did sell herself, as at that time Cosby had an academic and financial relationship with the Temple University.
However, if someone offers you a drink , and doesn't partake themself , it would give me cause for concern about the drink .
Not all the alledged victims sold themselves; many were duped , drugged and taken advantage of by a predator.
The most recent complaint was a woman who now claimed to be 'underage' while at the PlayBoy mansion - why was she there and drinking while aged 17 yrs old?
The number of complaintants is significant in and of itself, and I believe in the addage :"Where there is smoke, there is fire ".

What does the statute of limitations have to do with anything? OJ Simpson was within the statute of limitations. Many wrongful convictions were within the statute of limitations. Just because something is doesn’t always make the outcome true. Unless you want to convince me OJ is innocent. Go ahead. Give it a try.

And in the last ten years, not one of those silent women took any legal action. Nothing.

Correct. But the difference is that ‘all’ of the allegations against Cosby that I know about are beyond both the criminal and civil Statutes of limitation.

Because of the ‘silence’ of these women, no valid court action can be taken.

Because they allowed so much time to pass, the evidence (if there ever was any, that is) to prove or disprove the allegations is not available.

Sure they did, a police report in 2005 that resulted in Cosby settling out of court in 2006.

How is your defense for Bill Clinton, is it as dedicated and passionate as your defense of Cosby?

Do you despise Juanita Broaddrick also?

1) Constand filed her police report about a year after the alledged event.

2) Because there was no evidence, dna or toxological, the DA was unable to file charges.

3) Constand then sued Cosby for $$$.

4) The case was eventually dismissed as the parties reached an understanding ($$$ unstated.)

5) Given that outcome, it is highly unlikely that the settlement contains any kind of admission by Cosby. It is very probable that said document maintains his claim of innocence.

You should cease and desist in posting your twisted view of the outcome of the case.

LOL, I realize that you despise females, but Cosby settled out of court with Constand after drugging and raping her.

Cosby settled up for a claim of drugging and raping a woman, and she had found 13 more Jane Doe victims of his, today there are many more.

How is your defense for Bill Clinton, is it as dedicated and passionate as your defense of Cosby?

Do you despise Juanita Broaddrick also?
