What do you think will happen if Bill Cosby is found guilty?

I can't imagine he'll get much more than a slap on the hand, or a large financial settlement. For someone like me it would probably be prison.

You're probably right. Considering the acclaim and respect he's known, to go from that to being so universally despised, frankly I'm surprised he hasn't taken his own life. I really didn't want to believe it, but over 50 women, from all different walks of life, have accused him, and he's admitted to some predatory behavior. 😞

@LukeOnTheBrightSide: Then why did [b]you[/b] answer the way you did ? And can you name a situation where someone else has been accused by so many people and [b]not[/b] largely believed to be guilty ?

I answered according to the questioners assumption of guilt and played into that narrative. I still reserve judgement. In my own country we have a horrible sex abuser named Jimmy saville (now deceased) who clearly abused many. But the numbers that have now come forward to try and get compensation from his estate has been widely derided as implausible by the public and some experts. I'm sure you don't deny that such a thing as joining the bandwagon exists, or do you?

@LukeOnTheBrightSide: I don't, and I don't doubt that some among the [b]50[/b] may fall into that category.

6 months in a prison hospital. Lifetime parole, register as a sex offender.

@FreeSpirit1: Hmmm, fair enough I guess, the worst I think is the humiliation and a dead career.

He'll be politely escorted to a jail cell. There will be a tv in the cell allowing him to watch repeats of the Cosby show. He'll cry into his pillow upon realising the enormous gulf between his privileged life compared to incarceration. He'll be revered by a lot of the other prisoners, but there will be some that envy his status and wealth and may try and make life uncomfortable. On account of his age and health problems any sentence is unlikely to exceed a year or two.
