Bill Cosby has three more women accusing him of drugging and sexual assault.
Just when Bill Cosby was getting ready to do his final show in the US for a comedy tour, three more women accused him of sexually abusing them on Thursday. The three women claim that the incidents occurred decades ago respectively.
The three women said at a press conference that they were drugged and sexually assaulted by Cosby between the years 1970 and 1982. This was announced at a press conference hosted by celebrity attorney Gloria Allred.
Cosby has now been accused by more than 30 women of the same accusations, and all the accusers are represented by Allred. These accusations of drugging and sexually assaulting women have been coming out since last year for the 72-year-old comedian.
Janice Baker Kinney claims that she met Bill Cosby when she was 24 while working at Harrah’s in Reno, Nevada, back in May 1982. Kinney visited the comedian at his house with a friend and was given pills by him. She later woke up naked next to him, as he told her to keep their encounter to themselves.
Autumn Burns said that she met the comedian back in 1970 in Las Vegas where she worked. Burns, being 20 at the time, was invited to Cosby’s suite where he gave her a drink. She claims that she felt “woozy and not in control” after. It was then that he forced her into sexual acts.
The third woman, Marcella Tate, said that she met Cosby in 1975 when she was 27. She was a model in Chicago at the time, and was asked by the comedian if she could take him to the Playboy Mansion. She did and took a drink from him, which left her feeling drugged.
Bill Cosby’s attorney Marty Singer had dismissed similar accusations made by many women. The attorney stated that the allegations were discredited and defamatory.
