sandman: False accusations make a lot of people a lot of money, so naturally they are encouraged. Lawyers, detectives, judges, news media, book publishers, etc. they all make money whenever there are false accusations. In a sane world false accusers would be held accountable, but this is a money crazy world and so you might as well forget about the epidemic ending anytime soon.

Can Bill Cosby's Defamation Countersuit Restore His Reputation?
Pretty much all the points made here are intuitively obvious, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's better than wildly inaccurate speculation.

COUNTERSUIT: I love it when someone who's ganged up on by a bunch of liars fights back. This could be a lot of fun to watch. First one bunch of liars gets put in their place and then another until the whole bunch of liars sitting in their stupid little chairs on the magazine cover are proven in court to be liars. It'll be just like that college fraternity rape case that was proven to be a hoax only better.

Cosby's strategy is sound. The first group is composed of the women who are obviously lying. Their stories are completely unbelievable and so Cosby will almost certainly score a victory one way or the other. From there you take them a few at a time. Some will then retract their stories in order to escape the inevitable and pretty soon even the hardcore liars will lose their courage. I predict this will drag on for a few years, but that Cosby will systematically dispose of each and everyone of the liars.

Bill Cosby charged with aggravated indecent assault
A charge from 2004 should be easily defeated in criminal court and should actually help Cosby in the long run since it will start a winning streak that will probably go on for a dozen or so cases. Nearly all the cases will be in civil court, but it's even easier to win in criminal court and so I see this as a bad move on the part of prosecutors from a strategic point of view.

Bill Cosby's attorney on client's sexual assault charge
This lady is a great lawyer. She gets double-teamed by half-assed anchors in this news clip and makes both look like total fools.

camel: Exactly! A charge from 2004 should be extremely easy to defeat. Even if the prosecution is allowed to bring in other women who claim to have had similar experiences, the charges should be easily rebuffed. A win in criminal court will set a precedent which will make all the accusers seem far less credible. The general public will then learn the lesson that false rape accusations are far more common than the media admits. The media likes to inflate the credibility of rape accusers since it heightens the drama, but that hardly seems like the fair and impartial role that the media is supposed to play.

Why Bill Cosby Won't Be Charged in LA Sexual Assault Cases
This is one of the best discussions of the Cosby case that I've heard so far. He's presumed innocent until he has been PROVEN guilty. So far there are a bunch of weak accusations against him and that's it.

Cosby criminal case could fall apart
This guy comes off as more of a tabloid muckraker than a legitimate journalist, but what he says makes sense. The case against Cosby was Dead On Arrival and this just confirms that fact. Whether or not any of this is allowed into evidence, it would take one heck of corrupt judge to convict Cosby.
