Three more women have come forward to accuse Bill Cosby of sexual misconduct, bringing the total number of accusers to twenty-one.
One of them, Judy Huth, claims that she met Cosby at a tennis club when she was fifteen years old. Huth claims that Cosby invited she and a sixteen year-old friend to join him at a party at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles, where he put his hand down her pants, and then used her hand to “perform a sex act on himself without her consent.”
The other two women have joined Andrea Constand’s civil suit against Cosby. Constand’s attorney, Gloria Allred, has requested publicly that Cosby waive the statute of limitations in the case for six months, beginning today, in order to allow anyone with charges to bring against him to do so.
“We challenge Mr. Cosby to end this nightmare,” she said in a statement.
One of the two new plaintiffs, a woman the lawsuit names only “Chelan,” told a story of drugs and sex similar in its details to many of the ones already made public:
Bill Cosby called me at home in Las Vegas and reached my grandmother. He said he wanted to meet me, and me and my grandmother should come to the Las Vegas Hilton where he’d be performing his show….He gave me a blue pill, which he said was an antihistamine….Mr. Cosby walked me to the bedroom after a second shot of amaretto. He said it would help my cold. I laid down. He laid next to me on the bed, and began pinching my left nipple, and humping on my leg while he was grunting… I couldn’t open my eyes… I felt something warm on my legs, and I blacked out….Hours later, I woke up to him clapping his hands and saying, ‘Daddy says wake up.'”
Chelan, 17 years old at the time, says Cosby gave her $1,500 and told her to buy something nice for her grandmother.
This week, Cosby finally broke his long silence regarding the allegations. He took to Twitter to send simple messages of thanks to two of the few female celebrities who’ve stuck by him:
Thank you @WhoopiGoldberg.
