Three new women came forward on Wednesday to allege that comedian Bill Cosby sexually assaulted them. This brings the total to almost fifty. Still denying it Bill?
The women appeared at a press conference along with their attorney, Gloria Allred, who now represents 21 of the women who have come forward to accuse Cosby of alleged offences which span decades.The latest accusers include Linda Ridgeway and Eden Tirl, who had brief careers as actresses, and Colleen Hughes, a former flight attendant.
Tirl, a former model, alleged that Cosby sexually assaulted her in 1989 on the set of The Cosby Show, in which she appeared in two episodes.
Cosby, 78, has not been charged with a criminal offence, but has suffered a series of repercussions professionally as dozens of women have come forward to accuse him of sexual assault.
The July 27 issue of New York Magazine featured a black and white cover illustrating 35 accusers.
Hughes on Wednesday alleged that Cosby drugged her prior to the assault, which has been an accusation levelled by several of his accusers.
Cosby admitted in a now-unsealed deposition from 2005 in response to a sexual abuse lawsuit filed by Canadian Andrea Constand, a former Temple University employee, that he had previously given a woman quaaludes for the purposes of having sex with her.
Cosby was recently ordered by a judge to give a sworn deposition in response to allegations from Judy Huth regarding an alleged incident at the Playboy Mansion in 1974.
Allred, Huth's attorney, said Wednesday that Cosby is scheduled to be deposed in the civil case on Oct. 9.
Allred said she believes more women will come forward in the future.
I think all the women are telling the truth ... why would so many women make up the same lie .
ReplyDeleteBare with me for a moment please .... Cosby was rich / famous when started his raping women . Lot of women don't report rape because authorities will make them feel like it was their fault . That's one reason so many rape cases don't get reported . We was watching a comedy show when the comedian said out the blue that Cosby was a rapist , [he was a black comedian] So he was not a racist , just to clear the air.
Cosby sold his soul to the devil and now it's time to pay up HUH???
There is power in numbers and they keep climbing in old Cosby . My man said Cosby's moth piece better walk softly and quietly ... because Gloria Allred is like a pit bull with a bone and her intention is to tear Cosby to threads .
Great post

I wonder if all these women can bring a civil suit against him. He needs to be stripped of the fortune he made under false pretenses as an American icon. Surely a civil suit is not governed by a statute of limitations.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you the numbers will continue to rise as more victims borrow courage from the others. I am very glad to hear that Gloria is a pit bull. These women need her in their corner,
Thanks
