To Some Who Stood By Cosby, His Admission Is Turning Point

[...] for some, the breaking point came this week, when newly unsealed court documents revealed that the comedian has admitted to giving at least one woman quaaludes before sex — the kind of behavior long suspected by women who have accused him of drugging and abusing them. The Bounce TV and Centric networks stopped re-running "The Cosby Show," apparently booting the 1980s comedy classic completely off TV. To be sure, such prominent figures as Whoopi Goldberg and "Cosby Show" co-star Raven-Symone say they're reserving judgment on Cosby, who was "America's dad" to a generation and later an unabashed voice for his version of personal responsibility. Most of the sexual misconduct accusations that more than a dozen women have made against him happened too long ago for criminal charges. Former suburban Philadelphia prosecutor Bruce Castor, who declined to bring charges when former Temple University basketball team employee Andrea Constand came forward a decade ago, said Tuesday that Cosby's admissions in the newly unsealed documents didn't amount to evidence of a sex crime. The documents revealed that during 2005 questioning in Constand's later-settled sexual abuse lawsuit, Cosby acknowledged giving quaaludes to a 19-year-old woman before they had sex in Las Vegas in 1976, and he admitted giving the now-banned sedative to unidentified others.
