there is no evidence they were roofied as they never reported any crime at the time so they dunno what they may or may not have ingested.

I believe the definition of rape is "sex without consent". You're right in that "without consent" used to be accepted as meaning "by use of physical force", but that hasn't exclusively been the case for a while now. Just being drunk when someone has sex with you does not count as rape, not even today (at least legally, I'm not getting into what rules colleges enforce). Now, if someone has consumed enough alcohol to be severely cognitively impaired, then even if they agree to have sex ("actual" consent) it doesn't count as "legal" consent and that can still count as rape. So yeah, sometimes "Yes" means "No". It's not arbitrary, it's not a free pass to use rape accusations after "buyer's remorse", it's not a matter of taking a victim at their word and it's not about allowing people to avoid taking responsibility for their decisions. That type of rape (like all rape cases) still requires sufficient evidence before someone can be found guilty. Here's alegal guideon how to prosecute such cases, in case you're curious.
TLDR: "Regret" has nothing to do with it. It's about consent.
People should Spartacus this shit for the lulz.

Maybe the women have no visible motive, but you gotta admit there are connected people that the coz pisses off with his personal responsibility message. Whether anything else comes out of this, it sure does mute that message. I'm not saying that's what's going on, but you were searching for a motive to lie, and there's one right there.

Are the women that were paid off in the 2006 (?) settlement now they same women screaming rape again?
Did their settlement deal somehow expire this year?

That's the problem if you're in your early 20s (ie poor) and not a nerd, if there's no sports game on TV, all you have to pass the time is getting drunk and sex.

yeah no shit? did you miss my comments on the first page about UK historical sex offences committed by TV personalities? Did you miss my wikipedia links detailing the crimes of Jimmy Savile?

And everything Astro said, but I really can't be bothered to click "view his posts" (he's on ignore) in order to quote.

Yeah Savile was a paedophile, and stories continue that he was a necrophiliac too, which is why he did so much charity work for hospitals.
Regardless of the actual offences, the similarities are clear - TV personalities committing sex offences and getting away with it because a) the victims thought nobody would believe them b) their TV "characters"/persona were pretty far removed from sex offenders c) always rumours that they were sex offenders but never substantiated d) floodgates open and lots of victims come forward together

This is an odd notion of mob justice that you seem to have Ossoi. There is literally no way that you, you personally within your own mind, can be refuted in your opinion that this man did what he's accused of. The accusation is enough. That's fucked up.
If he was being accused of anything besides a sex crime this standard would not apply. Substitute "physical assault" with "rape" and see how that opinion changes. And it will change.
Could it have happened? Maybe. His name is Bill Cosby, not Jesus Horatio Christ. You know what else could have happened? Absolutely nothing.

oh boy Ossoi is still clinging to the bullshit that he has me on ignore even though he continues to quote my posts on numerous occasions and i have called him on it. keep up the facade dude, somebody out there cares, im sure.
i dunno if they have this phrase in england, but over here we say "put up or shut up". it means if you have a claim, then you need to substantiate that claim or get the fuck out of here with that bullshit.

Have I said I think he's guilty? I have just pointed out the similarities between these accusations and a number of recent UK cases.

The woman that was on Good Morning America or some similar show (heard a clip on a podcast) said that she went to Cosby's house, had a few drinks, then he gave her a pill which she apparently took willingly. Then she said she woke up naked with what she thought was semen on her mouth. The whole story sounds bizarre to me. For one thing, if someone just hands you a pill and says "take this" do you just take it and not ask what it is? Also, if she was in the house, having drinks and compliant enough to just take drugs without questioning it, it seems like he probably had a decent shot at getting some without the drugs. Also, they said that the drugs may have just been benedryll which seems like a terrible rape drug. Real roofies weren't available in the US until the mid 80s.
