After recent news reveals that Bill Cosby, formally known as the sweet hearted Dad in “The Cosby Show”, of sexually assaulting innocent women the nation has been left in complete shock. Up to eight women have just now came out and told the media, taking not only us but also Bill Cosby by surprise.

Just one of these woman, Judy Huth, claims Cosby took advantage of her while she was only 15 at the Playboy Mansion in 1974.

Whatever good thing coming of this situation, is a lesson, a lesson that we must never assume anything. A quote that I will always keep close to me is, “Believe nothing of what you hear, and half of what you se
