On Thursday, two new Bill Cosby accusers, accompanied by attorney Gloria Allred, came forward, at a press conference in New York, to share their all too familiar stories of being drugged and sexually assaulted by the comedian. According to her, the two soon spent an afternoon together at the Playboy Mansion and an evening having dinner.

Elizabeth alleged during the press conference that the comedian later sent her home in his Rolls Royce. Even though she said she needed to return back to her hotel, they went back to Cosby’s hotel where she changed into a robe.
“After his long period of public silence, we would hope that he would welcome this opportunity to testify fully and completely and give his side of the story”, Allred said in a statement.
After the three women spoke, Allred took questions, saying that Fox and Elizabeth were “not the last because I still have more contacting me”.
The second woman, Charlotte Fox, said she met Cosby when she was working as an extra on his 1974 movie Uptown Saturday Night. 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 stated he raped her in a room on the Playboy Mansion after she ate and drank meals at a dinner he hosted.
Butterfield read her statement about her Christmas Eve encounter with Cosby, which she’s previously spoken about.
“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”.
These latest claims mean that the number of Cosby’s accusers has passed 50. Cosby has admitted cheating on his wife, but denied any wrongdoing.
Cosby, who has not been charged with a crime, is scheduled to give a deposition on October 9 in the only instance not affected by statutes of limitation, that of Judy Huth, who contends he molested her as a teenage minor in 1974.
Both women have teamed with attorney Gloria Allred, who is already representing dozens of women in the case.
“All I do know is that it was probably the most horrifying factor that would occur to an harmless younger lady”, she stated. He left, ‘ she said. A spokesman for Cosby reportedly had no comment on the new allegations.
