I think this is a live link that continually gets updated.

Bumping this up as, when I originally posted this link, the number of accusers was 26; now it's up to 42. They keep the link updated each time another woman comes forward with her story.

Also, one of them, Louisa Mortiz, has already been proven false. NBC and the Tonight Show said that looking from their production notes, there was NO evidence of her and Bill Cosby EVER being on the same taping day, as she claimed.

I haven't seen any evidence she's lying, but even if she is, there are still 41 other accusers. And I'm still wondering why, after months of this, Cosby has yet to sue these women for slander. Wonder why he doesn't? He's certainly more powerful than they are and has the resources to destroy them in court if they're lying. Hmm. And I'm still wondering why a man would pay off women who are supposedly lying about him (as he did in 2006). Innocent people don't do that.

I understand that many rapes go unreported. But I find it impossible that 40 plus women were raped by this man and not one of them reported it. They just happened to wait till 20 years later when he can't be charged with a crime. They waited till the could get a pay out?

Cosby himself just ADMITTED to obtaining drugs so he could drug women for sex. OK?
The man is a rapist. He admits it himself.

Do you not understand that they were UNCONSCIOUS when they were raped? They could not be sure of what had happened to them. Besides, this was Bill Cosby. Not only was he rich and powerful with powerful interests like NBC behind him, but he had a public image of the quintessential family man, who would believe these mostly unknown women? Anyway, now as the Alan Brady's Hair link above shows, it's now out that Cosby admitted to this ten years ago. And it's made national news today. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/...cument-n387671

There's only thing for me to say in response to this bombshell:

This gives the late night comedians with more material than ever to work with.

It proved that you never know what goes on behind the scenes with these actors that come into our living rooms each week. I still can't get over how he fooled America for 50 years. I still remember watching Fat Albert on Saturday mornings and ll this time I was watching a rapist.

If they're going to remove The Dukes of Hazzard from TV then the same should be done for all shows starring Bill Cosby. I'd much rather watch a series that isn't even remotely racist than to watch one starring a rapist. I'm also a huge Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids fan but I doubt I could ever watch it again knowing that I was also duped for years.

I thought TV Land dropped Cosby MONTHS ago when the accusations first came out.

I meant any channel that has rights to any show starring Cosby, not just TV Land.

I've given him the benefit of "not guilty until proven innocent", which he, and everyone, deserves.

However, if someone asked me if the odds were more in favor of him being guilty or not guilty, I wouldn't hesitate to say "guilty". All those women...every single one of them, lying? Staggers the mind.

And now this new evidence...strange how the "consensual" encounters' modus operandi coincides so well with the type of stuff the women accuse him of doing.

I also note that the defenders are, understandably, quite silent about this news.

I had been "Innocent Until Proven Guilty" with Bill Cosby, up until yesterday.

Finally!! It took him a long time to tell the truth. At Stephen Collins spoke right up on what he did.
