Like Bill Cosby say, let it be done again in court, and lets see what be said. A shame, I blame the sister who started him with the molestation she did to him and the other brother too, he really needs some help mentally and thesista too, who started and introduced him to this, she should be a shame of herself, her brother, she sick as hell too, ain’t dat much sex in da world, a brother, sister, any dam relative.
