On Wednesday morning, Bill Cosby was charged with three counts of aggravated indecent assault, stemming from the 2005 investigation of an alleged sexual assault that occurred with Andrea Constand.

This is the first time Cosby has been charged with anything related to sexual assault since 55 women spoke up over the past 10 years, testifying Constand’s case as they recalled their similar, nonconsensual sexual experiences with him.

If Cosby is decided guilty, it is assumed that he will be given 10 years max, but former Pennsylvania assistant district attorney Michael Skinner says it is more customary to receive a sentence of two or three years.

The internet has responded, and I’d like to answer a few questions that people have asked while they attempted to challenge the victims’ credibility.

“If it was a date rape drug, then why are these women suddenly remembering what happened?”

Well, they’re not suddenly remembering.
