By all accounts, Mr. Cosby had no difficulty in obtaining rape drugs. I doubt that he was the only one to use them.

(21,506 posts)Then I doubt there are many who have done so on so wide a scale. I don't for a second doubt there are thousands that have used date rape drug. But Cosby by all accounts at this point pulled off a combination of the times and his celebrity image to made it difficult to stop him.
I doubt there are many that could pull what he did off today.

(4,035 posts)They may not use Drugs, but plenty are willing to use alcohol, and judging from the "if they're both drunk, are they raping each other" crowd here on DU, there's plenty of enablers to help them. (The idea that rapists might lie about how drunk they are don't seem to occur to these enablers. Because rapists are so trustworthy, natch.)
