The total has now reached about 51 in the on-going cases against Bill Cosby. Two more women held a press conference admitting they were drugged and sexually assaulted in the 1970’s.
The NY Post reports:
Charlotte Fox, an aspiring 23-year-old actress at the time, and another woman, named only as “Elizabeth,” was a 20-year-old American Airlines flight attendant when she first met Cosby. Both claim they were sexually assaulted by married Cosby in the 70s.
Fox said she met Cosby while working as an extra on the LA set of the film “Uptown Saturday Night,” and alleges he took her to the Playboy Mansion, drugged and assaulted her. She said, “Hugh Hefner came in and said hello but he didn’t stay … We ate and drank. I became ill … The next thing I remember was that I was sort of awake, in a bed, with no clothes on and there was Mr Cosby, in a robe, crawling from the bottom of the bed. I was incapacitated and couldn’t say no. He engaged in sexual activity with me. It was not consensual. I was afraid to call out.”
She added that Cosby then left the room and she somehow got home on her own. Fox said that when she next saw him on set, “He looked through me. I was afraid to say anything. I buried it deep in my soul until now.”
Elizabeth described in a statement how, aged just 20 in 1976, she was drugged by Cosby who forced her to perform a sexual act. She said they met while he was a passenger on her American Airlines flight from LaGuardia to LAX, “He invited me to the Playboy Mansion to lay out in the sun while he played tennis with James Brown.”
She said things got strange when they later went to dinner at a Japanese restaurant where Cosby ordered a plate of lamb’s eyes and insisted she drink sake. She said she started to feel drugged and doesn’t remember getting to his hotel room, then he came out in a robe and made her kneel down and perform a sexual act. “It was the most horrifying thing that could happen to an innocent young woman.” When she was driven home in his black Rolls Royce she said she was, “profusely vomiting. I apologize and the driver said I wasn’t the first.”
Both women, who cried during Thursday’s Friars Club press conference, are represented by Gloria Allred, who admitted that the statute of limitations had expired for both the new accusers. But she added there were further accusers to come forward, and, “We are going to be engaged in an effort to change the statute of limitations.”
Cosby has been ordered to testify under oath on Oct. 9 in connection with a lawsuit filed by Judy Huth, who has accused him of assaulting her when she was just 15. It will be the comic’s first deposition since the 2005 deposition that was unsealed last month, in which he admitted to getting the powerful sedative drug Quaaludes to give to women he wanted to have sex with.
Reps for Cosby didn’t immediately get back to us on Thursday.
