LAPD opens investigation against Bill Cosby, statute of limitations won’t matter

After the removal of Bill Cosby’s statue at Disney in Hollywood, networks dropping reruns of his hit television shows, and an admission of drugging a woman with the intent to have sex, the Los Angeles Police Department is finally opening an investigation against comedian.

According to ABC News, the LAPD will look into every single case made against Cosby, including ones that are expired beyond the statutes of limitations. The Associated Press found that Cosby admitted in court in 2005 that he had a Quaaludes prescription, so he would be able to drug women he wanted to have sex with. The case was settled. He has been accused of sexually assaulting close to 40 women spanning five decades.

Strange question, Davey Jones. Apparently you do; the thread title is descriptive and you clicked on it. Also, I'm betting the victims care quite a bit. (why the big font?)
 

Like many of you here, I have watched the Coz a lot over the years. Needless to say, I am disappointed in him.
 
Yes, Davey, women care.

I was brought up to believe that decent men protected women.
We were warned that there were bad men who preyed on women.

Men like Cosby and others recently exposed, portrayed themselves as decent men with family values while all the time they were total cads.
We care enough to want them exposed to the full heat of public censure.
 
Well, there goes another illusion dashed to bits, I had viewed Cosby as being a tower of integrity and infallibility. I guess I feel a bit betrayed, like when Bill Clinton's tryst in the oval office, & subsequent denial became public.
 
I watched him and enjoyed him in the TV sitcoms over the years, never really paid attention to his stand-up. I always liked him and gave him the benefit of the doubt when this whole thing started. I am disappointed in him, you can't tell a book by its cover I guess.
 
As an aside, I wonder how LAPD hopes to get past the statute of limitations. They can investigate all they want, but the statute of limitations would prevent them from charging. OR maybe CA has some loophole.

AND, I am also very disappointed in Bill Cosby. I loved his standup stuff about parents and children and the sitcom, too. I really didn't want to believe the charges against him, but now it appears he's guilty. Sad.

So Ironic.. He always prided himself on his comedy being "clean" and never having to resort to "blue" humor or vulgarity to be funny..

Not only from a different era but probably was a planned strategy to stay away from controversy. Still wonder if things "Dr Huxtable family man" and calling out the crime & criminals from his own community was a guilty conscience, deflection or what he really thought. The drug angle is getting a lot of play. The man voluntarily decided to incapacitate women and rape them, that's all you need to know.
 
Mrs. Cosby is “a proud, dignified but stubborn woman. You can say that she’s standing by her husband, but really, the more people stand against him, the more she perceives it as an affront to her and all that she’s done to make him a star,” said another source who’s done business with the ­Cosbys and remains close to them.
Camille Cosby, 71, who is also her 78-year-old husband’s business manager, demanded last week at a crisis meeting with advisers that their lawyers and p.r. specialists “get back out in front of this,” the business source said.
“I created him, I knew what I was getting and we’ll fix this,” she told the gathering at a meeting at the couple’s Shelburne Falls, Mass., home Tuesday night.

Sounds more like she used him for fame and money by proxy.. Seems she is more worried about a tarnished brand than her husband cheating on her.

If Cosby's lawyers were smart and he was truely worried about his family he should've sheltered money in a will, trust, insurance policies, his wife's or kids names. Especially since these lawsuits have been going on for over a decade. She'll get something even if he is sued.
 
Apparently she became his business manager. Wether she did that to help "the family" business or boredom we'll never know. She has forgiven & tolerated some of Cosby's affairs-this is where the victim's lawyers might attack because she would be considered an enabler. So yeh she might be protecting herself.
 
Re: wife, could be she looks the other way to protect the lifestyle/assets to which she is accustomed. (Cosby is extremely wealthy.) And, figures if he’s doing other women he’ll leave her alone. She is definitely in denial….or something.
 
Whoopi Goldberg has changed her stance about Bill Cosby…I guess.

Today on The View there was a segment with Whoopi talking to ABC Legal Analyst Dan Abrams, but I think it was damage control. I highly doubt Whoopi all of a sudden had a revelation about the statute of limitations as that has been talked about since the beginning of the first few allegations. She still looks like a fool for not researching that earlier. Of course she also believes what Roman Polanski did is not "rape rape." Unless it is on video, or she witnesses the crime herself, celebrities don't commit rape. Will she apologize to all the women who she basically called liars or accused of digging for Cosby's money? I doubt it.
 
Bill Cosby needs to answer for this. I'm shocked at his wife's inability to see how much he needs to take responsibility for his actions. Millions loved Cosby and he has disappointed everyone. He must be mentally ill. I'm so sorry for all his victims who suffered. Shame on YOU, Bill Cosby...now is the time to do the right thing.
