His clean-cut comedy reached the masses and landed him his very own sitcom, The Cosby Show. Now he’s beyond his prime and until recently, he was still seen as a respected elderly figure. But things went downhill for him, when he was accused of being a serial rapist. Fans, folks and well-wishers were skeptical about the accusations bought against him. After all, Bill Cosby was an inspirational figure to an entire generation. Academics and critics praised him for his works, which were appropriate for all age groups. But as more and more cases started to surface, even the biggest Cosby supporters started wondering – Can a person who was awarded the prestigious Presidential Medal of Freedom, be a rapist?
So far, there are more than 50 cases against Cosby regarding sexual misconducts. Currently, he is out on a $1 million bail, since December 30, 2015. Judges are saying that they plan to start the trial by June 2017. They also want the 13 women who accused Cosby, to testify against him in court. And if they do, it will be a shameful fall from grace on Cosby’s part.
