Of course. This is one reason why women who have been raped are reluctant to come forward. Unfortunately women who were rped are deemed to have been asking for it or looking for attention.
http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2015/12/30/3735370/the-real-bill-cosby-story/ is an interesting read just because statements they have from Cosby himself actually support the victim's claim. "He said, she said," but what he said is actually pretty damning of himself.

Geez, Bill, wouldn't the world be a much better place if kids today had normal names and stopped wearing baggy clothes? Where are the priorities?
The fncker told me to get a haircut when I worked on a Jell-o commercial with him. Should have returned with "Keep you fly zipped, Bill." He was then and probably still now an arrogant a-hole.
Yeah, that chasm between the finger-wagging scold schooling African-American boys not to wear butt-crack revealing jeans and the beverage tainting serial rapist schooling women in his particular power trip is one helluva story.
Do as I say, not as I do. Be gone Bill and take your shaite-hued puddin' with you.
Whether is is found guilty or not, his career is gone.
He's 78 years old and hasn't done anything of real significance in the last 15 years, so it's not his career's end would be of much concern to anyone, including him.
I could not care less about his career. The man is a criminal. He belongs in jail.
I agree 100% NYadgal. The problem is lack of any substantial evidence. Believe me, I know it is hard come up with anything, specially after so many years. I also know first hand (my partner's sister was raped during a break in many years ago) how hard it is for the victim to come forward and talk about it.
I don't think he will get jail time to be honest. I do believe however he will lose his fortune in the avalanche of civil suits.
I agree with you, SNAFU.
It's just such a hideous situation for all of the women who were his victims.
If civil suits and his financial ruin are the only recourse for them, then have at it!
