lawyer: :”When you got the quaaludes, was it in your mind that you were going to use these quaaludes for young women that you wanted to have sex with?”
Cosby: “Yes,”
lawyer: “Did you ever give any of these young women the quaaludes without their knowledge?”
(Cosby’s lawyer objects to him answering)

You say there are no “grounds”, but corroborating testimony is considered evidence, so you are wrong. If you really were a law student you would be aware of this. It is the reason Cosby settled with Constand in 2005, in the face of 12 Jane Doe witnesses willing to corroborate her story with no monetary motive.

Also, only 17 of the more than 50 victims have been represented by Allred and no civil lawsuits are pending because of the Statute of Limitations having expired. So another piece of your victim shaming is misconceived.

You can pick a few women out to Vicim Shame, but that still leaves dozens of victims who have nothing to gain from accusing Cosby, like Beverly Johnson, Carla Ferrigno, Michelle Hurd, Therese Serignese, Joan Tarshis, Barbara Bowman and Kristina Reuhlior, to name a few.

Accusing these victims of extortion certainly qualifies as victim blaming. If even ONE of the dozens of women is telling the truth, Cosby is guilty of rape. You seem to think shaming a few of them with groundless allegations is enough to accuse all fifty of them of extortion.

It may be hard for you to imagine what a woman feels like when she has been drugged; conscious enough to remember parts of what happened but not enough to fight back. The shame and guilt attached to that often keeps her from going forward, to bury her trauma and try to go on with her life. Only when these victims saw other brave women coming forward, describing similar assaults by a man who has used his wealth and influence to shield himself from justice, did they have the fortitude to come forward. Even then, they face retribution from people like you, who seek to add to their trauma by making unfair and inaccurate statements about their motives.

In any case, Cosby has destroyed his image as a family friendly public moralist, and will never be able to give another “Pound Cake” speech where he pretends to be so high above those who don’t have his resources to protect themselves from an unequal criminal justice system.
