Yes. Do what I do: Separate the actor from the character.
I used to watch a lot of his shows and movies, everything from The Electric Company (1971 - 1977) to The Cosby Show (1984 - 1992) to Ghost Dad (1990) to Cosby (1996 - 2000). The teachers used to let us watch Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids (1972 - 1985) reruns in the morning during school. I haven't seen him in anything else for about 17 years.
I'm not sensitive like some of these stations that pulled reruns of his shows. I don't approve of what he did, but I do appreciate the entertainment he has provided to us over the years. He's still a huge 1970s and 1980s icon to me, and essentially part of my childhood. It's hard letting someone of his stature go because of several prior offenses.
I don't know if he can be redeemed at this point, but that's up to a jury of his peers to decide.

I never judge anyone's work by anything other than the work itself. That would be the case even for someone who is a convicted serial murderer or whatever, and it would even be the case for someone who committed crimes against me or family members. So yes, I'm still a fan of his work.
Anyway, I don't see how Cosby could possibly be convicted of anything. The incidents were so long ago. How could there be evidence of rape with respect to any of those incidents?
