I can't pretend to know what these women are going through now or what they went through during the drugging/raping or the mostly many, many years in between. And it sounds like all of them are resigned to the fact that there's really nothing they can do at this point but to add their story to the growing pile of ever increasing women. I hope it, sincerely, gives them a little piece of relief with having finally told their stories. Each one is so similar to the next and it appalls me that it went on so long. And I totally get what Cindra was saying ... it was a different time, and it would have been very, very unlikely to get a rape conviction since she had already spent (platonic) time with him, the attacking of victims on the stand about totally absurd things like what they were wearing at the time and the idolization of Cosby in general would have swayed everything his way. I just hope with each story that comes out, each woman is able to lay her head of her pillow and know it was not her fault ... he was a predator ... and gets some semblance of finally letting go and putting it past them for good.
