| 16. Maybe blackmail is too strong a word |

But Cosby had sex with a woman who had an illegetimate child. The child grew up thinking that Cosby could be her biological father. It turns out that he wasn't. As I remember it, the child received scholarship money from Cosby. At some point she went to the media and the story came out. Of course, Cosby had a wonderful reputation as a family man and philanthropist and it must have hurt to have had a brief encounter many years old on the front pages of the papers.
This info is all from my memory--you could probably find an old newspaper account online. The newspaper I was reading at the time was the Washington Post.
