If Guilty, How Did he Get Away with It for So Long? Rape Accusations pile against “beloved TV Dad” Bill Cosby

So many of us grew up watching Bill Cosby on the highly rated/long running sitcom “The Cosby Show“. For decades, Bill Cosby was revered as “the ultimate dad” due to the role he placed on the show.

Now, at age 77, he is being faced with a barrage of rape and sexual assault accusations. There have been whispers about Bill Cosby’s alleged illicit behaviour for years including a quiet civil settlement to a number of his accusers years ago. However, In the past month alone, 4 different women including former supermodel Janice Dickerson and Wife of Incredible Hulk star Lou Feriggno, Therese Serignese have come forward with their stories, though, the full list of women appears to be much longer.

The women’s stories seem consistent, drugging, followed by sexual assault or rape. Due to these allegations, American TV Network has pulled out of an upcoming TV deal with Cosby.

So BellaNaijarians, what are your thoughts on these allegations? If true, how did he get away with it for so long?
