Bill Cosby

Normally one is not inclined to pass judgement on someone who has never been convicted of any crime. But at last count around two dozen women have come forward to say they were drugged and raped by Bill Cosby, which is enough for me to conclude that there is no smoke without fire.

It's sad as more and more of our childhood icons such as Rolf Harris and Bill Cosby are exposed not just as flawed human beings, but in fact serial predators and rapists.

Also disturbing is that some of the allegations against Cosby are decades old, but only through social media, has they gained global prominence – which allowed other victims to come forward.

Almost beyond belief is the fact that he appeared in Florida weekend, and got a standing ovation from the crowd.

The Cosby Show was the most popular show on television for much of the 1980s. It was No 1 in the from 1985 to 1989. For many people Cosby was playing himself when he portrayed Cliff Huxtable. But it turns out he was very much acting.
