Sure. It's wrong for the state to judge him guilty as things stand now. But if the only way we could ever reach the conclusion that someone did something was by putting them through a beyond a reasonable doubt trial then that'd be silly.
More information my change my judgement, but with the information currently available to me, I'm comfortable with the resulting conclusion.
That said,
my judgment really doesn't mean anything. If someone asked me if I think Cosby is a rapist I'll say yes. But it isn't like I'm going to chain myself to his front door to prevent him leaving his house.
I wouldn't pay to see him live (but I wouldn't have done that before) but my general view is that the misdeeds of artists don't really impact my willingness to consume their art. Unless I feel that the art is trying to convince me their misdeeds were right or that my money would go directly to continuing their misdeeds. So if the Cosby Show were on TV the reason I wouldn't watch it would have nothing to do with Cosby as a person, just that I've never thought the show aged very well.
I'd watch I Spy though. Or Ghost Dad. Those remain classics.

Did he do this on his own?

I have no idea. Has anybody in their claims suggested otherwise?
