35 Bill Cosby victims describe sex abuse to New York magazine

Source: NYDailyNews

There was the disoriented and drugged woman who said Bill Cosby put his forearm under her throat after she revealed to hotel staff she was 19 and staying with the superstar.

There was the woman who couldn’t form words as the star of “The Cosby Show” leered at her and her unconscious friend with “a very predatory look on his face.”

And there was the woman who thought she was one of Cosby’s best friends — until she woke up naked after he plied her with medicine for a “headache.”

Those are the stunning stories of three of 35 women who told New York magazine they were assaulted by the disgraced cultural icon once called "America's Dad."

is more like it. I hope he dies a pauper and the women who he violated gets it all, ever single penny that bastard has or will ever get.
He does not deserve any sympathy from me or anyone else. IMO

That is a powerful picture more so with the empty chair makes it more so as we don't know for sure how many more victims there could be.

These women have truths to tell. I hope everyone reads this and their stories.
You think people will start believing this story as well?

Scotti, who lives in Lakewood, N.J., saved copies of money orders from the era detailing his payouts to four of the Cosby women.

He recalled Cosby presenting him with “a satchel of money, all $100 bills,” and pressing Scotti to distribute the payments using money orders in his own name.

“I did a lot of crazy things for him,” recalled Scotti. “He was covering himself by having my name on it. It was a coverup. I realized it later.”

Scotti worked as facilities manager at the Brooklyn studio where “The Cosby Show” was originally taped before a live audience.


You see, the truth of the matter (and it really bothers me, TBH) is that it takes all the sordid horrific details of how women were intimidated, assaulted, drugged, raped and paid off for to be put in one place to be taken seriously.


These are 35 of the 46 accusers. How many have not spoken out? How many might not have a voice because they might be dead?

Bill Cosby is a serial rapist.

Google 'serial rapist jailed for life'

I will end my post with this: There should not be a statute of limitations for rape allegations.
