Innocent or guilty of rape?
Regardless, he's definitely guilty of having extra-Marital affairs. How his wife stands by his side is beyond me.

shareThe modern definition of rape is rather broken, it gets even more broken when you consider that both parties are probably intoxicated so they're raping each other.
The correct question should be did he prey on young women and use his status to sexually exploit them, of course he did. The issue of whether consent was given gets far too murky, especially given that our modern law doesn't allow you to give consent then get intoxicated (you must give consent in the moment, and be legally able to do so.)
The law is actually pretty clear regarding sex and drugs.
If one person drugs another without their consent and has sex with the other while they're incapacitated by drugs they did not consent to take, it's rape (and maybe poisoning as well).
If two people voluntarily take drugs and have consensual sex while able to make decisions, it's not rape.
If two people voluntarily take drugs and one becomes incapacitated, and if the other one goes ahead because the incapacitated person had agreed to sex earlier, then it's legally considered rape, because they were not able to consent at the time of the actual sex.
The only wiggle room in the existing laws are in cases where both are impaired rather than incapacitated, or one is incapacitated and the other is impaired. But neither applies to most of the Cosby cases as described, there were many cases where he put incapacitating drugs in a woman's coffee and had sex with her while she was incapacitated and he was in his right mind. That is absolutely rape. It's a tough world for somnaphilia fetishists.

If you don't understand the story, go out and inform yourself before posting nonsense.
shareProbably guilty of drugging women without their consent and raping them when they were incapacitated, but I wasn't there so I can't be 100% sure.
As for Camille Cosby standing by him through all this... it's unfathomable, unless she's staying because she wants to be the Widow Cosby, the one who's in control of his money and legacy. But if that's her motivation, the sooner he dies the better for her, so he'd better look out for someone putting something in his coffee...
He admitted to plying women with drugs, he even joked about it back in the late 60's. Is it possible they all consented to taking those drugs and to have sex with him? Not very likely.

He's as guilty as a puppy sitting next to a pile of poo. He got released on a technicality because his confession was inadmissable due to a promise made by a prosecutor. His confession remains a matter of public record.
