its not so much a conspiracy to bring him down as it is technology changed significantly in the last ten years. The last court case/settlement cosby dealt with was in 2005, there was no twitter or youtube and facebook was in its infancy. No one used myspace for news info. Today all those sites exist and stories can take on a life of their own outside of traditional media. Before in order for a story to blow up it required a number of major news outlets picking up on it and running it. Now news is driven by social media. Something going viral on youtube or twitter or facebook can draw more attention than old news outlets.
Before it was much easier for spin doctors and lawyers to get out in front of a issue and call in favors and have stories killed..today thats next to impossible now because spin doctors can't kill a story on twitter.
Once cosby's allegations went viral it was just a matter of time.
Bill met Sandy in the casino at the Las Vegas Hilton around 1979 or 1980. She was in her late teens or early 20s, thin and medium height with hazel eyes and straight brown hair that fell just below her shoulders. They immediately began a consensual intimate relationship. At the time, Sandy was sexually adventuresome, dating a number of men around town.
Sandy never grew her hair. She was not motivated by money. But she did come to me one morning a year later to tell me that something bad had happened. Bill had drugged her. She was not angry. She was baffled, stunned, even shaken by the experience. Plus, she felt betrayed.
“Bill drugged me last night, and then had sex with me,” Sandy confided. “I just don’t understand it. It’s not like I would have said no to anything.”
He had given her two pills and said, “These will relax you.” She trusted him and swallowed them. She figured they were vitamins or herbal medicine. They did not relax her; they flat-out knocked her unconscious.
“He didn’t need to do it,” she repeated. “I just don’t understand why.”
Did it turn him on to see a woman “out cold” or was this all a mistake? Maybe Sandy’s body had reacted to the pills in a bizarre and unexpected way. I was willing to give Bill the benefit of the doubt, although Sandy felt his actions were intentional.
She did not view the encounter as rape, because she was already in an intimate relationship with him. I likewise did not categorize it as a sex crime, because it was Sandy’s experience, and she had a right to define it any way she wished. I was only the bystander, the friend, the shoulder to cry on. Of course, now that I am older, I look back and realize that when a woman is unconscious, she cannot ever consent.
Sandy had no idea what happened to her that night. She knew it involved sex; she could tell by the way her body felt afterward. It never occurred to either of us that Bill might be drugging other women. We both assumed the encounter was a “one-off.” After all, Bill was charming, intelligent, attractive and famous. He did not need to sedate women in order to secure dates. He could not possibly have a dark side.

Despite the tone and talk of testifying against him according to this article Cosby didn't commit a crime.
she doesn't say he committed a crime at the time not does sandy. If all the women who claimed to have been drugged and raped were women he was ALREADY fucking then maybe thats why they were reluctant to say anything at that time.
