Could You Get Another Cosby Today?

from The Gorgeous Ginger Lawyer · host Monica Trombley

I recently watched the documentary "We Need To Talk About Cosby" as well as a video response to it.  This episode isn't about assessing Bill Cosby's guilt or innocence; I just wonder whether someone could replicate Cosby's position in his time, his impact on the cultural landscape and operate as he did with nobody taking any steps to punish him for his crimes until many years later.   This leads to a few more related musings like what would happen right now if you went to the police and said a public figure raped you last night/2 days ago/some very recent point in time + had all your physical evidence i.e. you did everything right. The image is of the infamous "Serial Rapist" note that was written on Bill Cosby's Hollywood star when the rape allegations were getting big time attention and all the women started coming forward.
