“Okay. Why is it happening now rather than 1974 or 1975? Why wait 41 years?”
VIP abusers like Cosby wee and are still protected, and any person, especially female, who is young and does not have much money had little hope of getting any attorney and certainly not any state prosecutor to listen or do anything about a complaint of this kind. This is especially true of a young woman working at the Playboy mansion. Quitting the job can have long lasting consequences as well.
Most people had never heard of acquaintance rape (I don’t think the term “date rape” was even in print) in the mid 1970’s and it certainly wasn’t taken seriously by a court of law. An accuser of the status of Bill Cosby only would have sealed the deal.
the rich and powerful have always gotten “benefit of the doubt” hard to take them down...
