The list of dozens of women accusing Bill Cosby of sexual assault now has two more.

On Thursday, Allred attended another press conference in New York with two new accusers, one introduced as Elizabeth, a former flight attendant, and Charlotte Fox, a former aspiring actress.
Meanwhile, Cosby will have to go under oath this fall; he was ordered to give a sworn deposition in a lawsuit alleging he sexually abused a 15-year-old girl at Los Angeles’ Playboy Mansion in 1974.
“He made me kneel down”, she read from her statement before breaking down in tears.
“I did not drink or use drugs”. “It took me this long to say something because the burden of saying something has a huge effect on so many lives, mine included”. She then passed out and woke up in a Los Angeles hotel room with Cosby nude except for a bathrobe and he arranged for his chauffeur to take her home in his Rolls Royce.
Butterfield, who has previously discussed Cosby’s alleged assault on Christmas Eve in 1974, recounted her story again, calling him “an animal that preyed on me and caught me”.
Lawyer Gloria Allred has said she will ask “any question and every question” of Bill Cosby in a deposition in October and hopes to extract answers from “Bill Cosby, not the friendly father-figure of his television character, Dr Huxtable”.
Martin Singer, an attorney representing Cosby, did not respond to a request for comment.
“When I arrived there was a glass of sake already poured for me”, she said. “All I know is this was the most horrifying thing that could ever happen to a young woman”.
The women were also joined by Sarita Butterfield, another Cosby accuser who showed up to lend support. Once she was alone in the guest house, she said, Cosby approached her and started to “aggressively kiss me and grope my breasts and other parts of my body”.
The People report adds: “Because of how sick she felt, Elizabeth said she could barely stand up”.
Fox came forward with a similar story, revealing she met Cosby while she was an extra on the set of his film Uptown Saturday Night in the early 1970s. She said he raped her in a room at the Playboy Mansion after she ate and drank food at a dinner he hosted.

Fox continued, “I was incapacitated and couldn’t say no. He engaged in sexual activity with me”. “I was afraid to call it out”. “So that is my expectation for Mr. Cosby”. The additional five came after a powerful New York Magazine cover on Cosby’s accusers, which showed woman after woman sitting in rows of chairs.
