Bill Cosby Rape Allegations

Bill Cosby has recently been accused by at least 20 or so women of sexual assault dating back to the late 1960's. Considering the fact that he was probably one of, if not the most famous comedian on the planet 30 years ago, this is the American equivalent of the Jimmy Saville scandal. And the strange thing is, the whole thing came to light from a stand-up routine by Hannibal Buress.

And here's a timeline of how the allegations have progressed: http://www.vulture.com/m/2014/09/timeline-of-the-abuse-charges-against-cosby.html

To be honest this should've been brought up in court ages ago. Why make such grave accusations now?

It was brought up in court before. He settled all the cases. Because he's a rapist.

A famous rapist who at the time still had his family image.

Some of this women have been suing Cosby since the 90's, long before the modern day boom of false rape accusations started. I'd be skeptical about any woman jumping on the bandwagon now, but the earlier allegations seem legit.

Oh, the long standing ones I can believe, it's some of the more recently revealed ones that I feel skeptical about.
