I think 20 years is way too long to wait then come forward claiming rape. It makes the women harder to believe they were devastated by the incident and not out looking for money. While I want to believe them, I just can't. I can't see them as anything but opportunists out looking for money because they came forward now when Cosby is completely famous rather than when the rape occurred while Cosby was still attempting to get a foothold in comedy. I believe the sexual intercourse did occur under the influence of the drugs he gave them (as he admitted), but I can't think to bring myself to think of it as actual 'rape' since the women just say 'he gave me a drug' not 'he force me to take a pill'. The fact that they took it willingly makes me wonder what they thought was going happen afterwards. If that were me, I never would have just taken a pill someone hands me and the moment someone tried I would have just left. I'm not saying they deserve whatever they got, but the fact that they took the drugs without struggle, and the fact that they were not forced to Cosby's place nor were they held there against their will and could have left at any time, I think those are reasons the jury couldn't decide if he truly was guilty of rape. I'd be in doubt myself about the integrity of the women, especially after decades of silence. I'm not saying they lied, I'm just saying I wonder if you agree to enter basically a stranger's apartment, agree willingly to take drugs they offer you, stay in their apartment/hotel room etc. without being forced, are you not setting yourself up to be raped? Honestly, I would think under those circumstances anyone with half a brain would know sex would come into the picture somewhere. I want sympathy for the women, but they have too many variables I just can't swallow.
