Irrespective of whether the "sexual contact" was consensual (or if drugs were involved), I don't think the admitted infidelity is the "good example parents should be setting for their children" Mr. Cosby has been preaching of late. . .

Jan. 27, 2005 — Investigators probing the sexual misconduct allegations made against Bill Cosby by a former Temple University employee have concluded there was sexual contact between the entertainer and the woman, but they are trying to determine whether it was consensual, a source close to the investigation has told ABC News.

Cosby met voluntarily with law enforcement officials Wednesday at a location outside Pennsylvania. A 31-year-old woman has accused Cosby, 67, of giving her a pill that rendered her semiconscious and fondling her at his Cheltenham Township, Pa., mansion early last year. Cosby has denied the allegations, his attorney called them "preposterous" and "bizarre."

A source close to the investigation told ABC News that Cosby's version of what happened between him and the woman and his accuser's story are similar in many ways. The dispute, the source told ABC News, is whether the contact between Cosby and the woman was consensual.

Prosecutors Could Make Decision in Two Weeks.

At a news conference Wednesday, Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce L. Castor Jr. said Cosby is fully cooperating with investigators, and authorities expect to decide whether they will bring charges against him in two weeks. Castor indicated that the alleged victim's delay in coming forward and contact with the entertainer since the incident could hurt her case.

"I did hear a report that said that I had determined her testimony, her statement was credible. That is inaccurate. I haven't made any such determination one way or the other," Castor said. "He [Cosby] is presumably innocent and can come and go as he pleases. … I think the factors such as failure to disclose in a timely manner and contacts with the alleged perpetrator after the event are factors that weigh toward Mr. Cosby."

Lawyers representing the woman making the allegations said in a statement that she is a victim of sexual assault and that her alleged encounter with the man she once considered a mentor has traumatized her.

"There is nothing bizarre or preposterous about our client's allegations as the attorney for Cosby contends," said Dolores Troiani, one of the attorneys presenting the woman."Our client is the victim of a sexual assault. Nor is it uncommon to delay reporting sexual assault for many reasons, including, among others, the traumatic nature of the event and the betrayal of trust which is felt by the victim. In this case, our client naturally experienced a great deal of emotions, having at one time perceived Mr. Cosby as a friend and mentor."

Cosby's accuser is reportedly a former basketball standout at the University of Arizona who worked at Temple for several years before returning to her native Canada to attend massage school. Cosby, a Temple alumnus, frequently attends campus events and has generated headlines over the past year for criticizing African-American parents for the way they raise their children.

I'm surprised he wasn't caught doing this in his "sniff sniff" Golden Throat Sings days in the 70's...

However, I don't believe he actually did this to someone as he approaches his 70's...

What a complete dumbass.

Proof positive: You are never to old to monger.

You think he calls his dick his "hoagie" or his "pudding pop"?

Where's Nathan on this one?

I sure as hell hope it makes noises like Mortimer Ichabod Marker on "Picture Pages".





Listen, you know, I'm married and this shouldn't really get out in the public and all but...




I think I have some things you might be interested in you know, we're both open minded adults and all, i mean...



I don't know how you feel about it but you could do me too. I'm cool with that. I like to experiment.

Cosby's done more intelligent and fascinating things in his lifetime than all of us put together will ever do in ten lifetimes.

Not a dumbass at all.

Spoon, he's said alot of things that have rankled alot of people. He's got to know that at this moment in time the spotlight is on. Why then do some dum dum shit like this? Even if the sexual conduct was consensual, he is a married man. He doesn't have a great track record in this area as it is with an illigitimate kid.

I called him a dumbass for this reason. If you're going to put your ass out there like he has over the last year, you've got to be pristine. You've got to be untouchable.

I love Cos, especially the things he's done for kids. But I don't think that because he created Fat Albert he gets a wash for some idiotic behavior.

I think he might be getting weird-ass as he gets old. Maybe medications or bitterness or poor health or something. Like Andy Rooney -- get old, turn into a dick and lose the sense of humor that made you good in the first place, replaceit with unfunny judgemental bile. Course, Dennis Miller's done that at a much earlier age. Like the opposite of Shatner.

Naw, he's always been a bit of a pervert. Not that there's anything -- in itself -- wrong with that. I remember seeing him do a shtick on sex, and how teenagers always look scared when they're doing it, and it looked like he was talking from recent experience.

I do agree he probably shouldn't've done that while talking out of the other side of his mouth, but he probably thought he wasn't going to get caught, neither. So yes, it was a dumbass thing to do, and I thusly berate him for it, from my morally superior position. But that doesn't make him a dumbass, just human.
