I'm forced to consider the old adage "where there's smoke, there's fire". But 14 accusations and not one conviction makes him either extremely cautious or very diligent in covering up and paying off. A lot of famous and not so famous men go thru stages of compulsive behavior, though the more famous, usually the more scrutiny. I'd say it's possible but the numbers are probably not completely accurate. It'll also take a lot more evidence than hearsay accusations to indict him.
My question awaits an answer: What is the average amount of rape allegations for a rich person or celebrity? Cosby has 14 allegations. Is that above or below average?
Why don't you google it, maybe there's a study out?
Well now Janis Dickenson is on the band wagon. So it all must be true.

She is a washed up model / attention ho.I don't even know who Janis Dickenson is.
A number of rapes are never reported. It is too embarassing and often a tough one to prove so a lot of women rather not go through the process.
If all these accusations are truthful then he would be a serial rapist. I am waiting to hear from any of the young female actesses on his show come forth to support him or have accusations themselves.
Rape is probably the most difficult crime to prove for numerous reasons.
1. Most victims never report the crime.
2. If they do report, many if not most report it long after there's any way to collect evidence.
3. Because of the private nature of sexual activity, it can often come down to his word against hers. Where there are no witnesses, equally credible claims cancel each other out.
Although probably not admissible in a trial, the best evidence the accuser is being truthful is multiple accusers all saying the same thing. This is especially true if they're sharing details other accusers had no way of knowing such as the reports that Michael Jackson called alcoholic beverages "Jesus Juice" to more than one accuser, information that was initially sealed when a subsequent accuser was deposed.
As someone who thinks Bill Cosby is an American hero, this news is very, very difficult for me to process. Do I think he's guilty? I don't know but I have to give weight to the high number of claims especially considering I'd expect nothing but admiration and accolades from anyone who had the privilege of meeting him, not that he's a monster.

I saw that. She says it happened in 1982 or something. And says "Of course I didn't report it".
I could be wrong, but wasn't 1982 at the height of her out of control drug and alcohol use when she was hanging out at Studio 54 doing lines of cocaine like there was no tomorrow?
Janice is always desperately trying to stay relevant. She needs to pay for her plastic surgery so she stops looking her age.
Sorry Janice, my coffee table has more credibility than you do.
Rape allegations won't go away for Bill Cosby - CNN.com
What are your thoughts on Cosby?
Do you think it's possible that he's guilty of raping women?
Or is he a victim of false allegations?
Now I know there's the whole "innocent until proven guilty" thing - but I'm asking what your gut feel is regarding this stuff.
Anything is possible in the Hollyweird entertainment industry. It's definitely possible that he has committed rapes. However I do pose the question "Why now?" Why did this many women wait all of these years to suddenly holler rape at the same time? If he committed even one of the alleged rapes I hope he is prosecuted. However how many of these cases were actually consensual sex? How much of the sudden flow of revelations is political? He has made some moral statements that the left did not care for.
I'd love to see the evidence.

Well if she was doing drugs and being promiscuous, of course rape is impossible.
