After allegations against Cosby by a former Temple University executive were met with shameful skepticism by prosecutors, another woman came forward this week with an identical story: Cosby gave her pills under the guise of helping her feel better, and when she was rendered nearly unconscious, he molested her, she said. "I don't think it's right that they're going to disregard this woman and her allegations," Tamara Green said in yesterday's Daily News, explaining why she came forward. "I feel like they should look into it more seriously than I thought they were going to." Her claim is compelling. Although Green allegedly was assaulted about 30 years ago, her story has a credibility that makes the first allegation seem plausible. To be sure, she'll pay a huge price for coming forward. And if the charges are true, all of us will pay a huge price, as well. We'll have lost another hero. And Cosby's important role as moral mentor of the African-American community will end. I don't blame Green for being outraged at the way officials responded to the allegations against Cosby. The former Temple official reported the assault to authorities last month, a year after it allegedly occurred at Cosby's Elkins Park mansion. Already, some right-wing conspiracy theorists are suggesting the claims are designed to silence Cosby's laments about the failure of the African American community to take responsibility for its plight.
