Doesn't matter. A woman can go drinking with, get drunk on purpose, and pass out while in your presence. That's not an invitation to play hide the salami.
Little Bill is still on Amazon Instant Video. My daughter loves it. I still haven't determined how I feel about it. She doesn't know about any of this and doesn't even know who Bill Cosby is, other than the guy that hands Little Bill his hat in the opening credits.

Does matter. One can knowingly take drugs and consent to sex. Nowhere in the quoted article does it say that the two women who knowingly took the drugs, had sex against their will.

... and were subsequently raped.
Cosby's own testimony proves that he did obtain and use drugs with the intent of giving them to women in order to have sex with them.
Scores of women have been saying for years that Cosby used drugs on them - this testimony proves at the very least that this is a fact, and a rather important one at that.
Whether the women knowingly took the pills or not is a moot point and at least one of those who knowingly took pills from Cosby also said that she had no idea what it was (and hence wouldn't have known what effect it would have). Many others have gone on record saying that they thought they had been drugged and were then raped. Again, whether some women took Cosby's drugs knowingly is irrelevant.

And nowhere does it say that they willingly had sex, only that they knew he was giving them qualude.

Throughout my entire life, even when a woman has indicated she wants sex, I have never had sex with someone who was intoxicated other than my wife, and that was a situation where everything we had done up to that point was for the purpose of having sex and the alcohol was just a part of the evening.
I pissed off a couple of girls in college doing that, but I wasn't one of the frat guys who hopped on any inebriated girl they found.

The fact that they were witnesses and not plaintiffs would lead me to conclude they consented.And nowhere does it say that they willingly had sex, only that they knew he was giving them qualude.

Many of the incidents are beyond the statute of limitations, if I recall correctly. They may not be able to be plaintiffs but can be a witness to establish a pattern of behavior.

Apparently Disney have removed a statue/bust of Bill Cosby from their Hollywood Studios theme park.
The Guardian is calling it a 'Limitation of Statues'...

Yep. That's the problem alright.
Edit: Just as a slight aside, has the American or Canadian entertainment industry ever had a sexual abuse scandal comparable in magnitude, severity or depth to the Jimmy Savile one which has decimated the British entertainment industry?
Cosby seems to be the first National Treasure brought down on that side of the pond. I can only hope that this isn't the first thread of a horrific unravelling. And that there are no threads which need unravelling.

I don't know that there have really been any comparable ones recently, but Fatty Arbuckle's scandal is probably the worst in Hollywood's history.

This might be worse, not for the deeds done, but for the demolition of reputation. Savile was a developmental figure. Cosby was a generational figure. In other words, the former grew out of an industry or a culture. Cosby, on the other hand, created the culture. He was the man. A black paragon in America. Not anymore.

Bill Cosby has been charged with indecent assault. The alleged incident took place in 2004, and the statute of limitations was about to run out.

Yeah I see this possibly still going no where. It seems like it was a "Well, you're running out of time so if you want your money I'll do it" kind of case. They claim there's no evidence relating the two, so... We'll see how it goes.
I just wonder what he'll do in return if it pans out in his favor.

I hope he serves a decent amount of time in jail and is financially ruined by the forthcoming lawsuits.
