Two new accusers say Bill Cosby drugged, sexually assaulted them
Source: Yahoo News
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Two more women came forward on Friday accusing veteran comedian Bill Cosby of drugging and sexually assaulting them decades ago, when they were in their teens.
Sunni Welles and Margie Shapiro joined the more than three dozen women who have accused the 77-year-old comedian of sexual assault, reading statements alongside celebrity attorney Gloria Allred.
Welles said she was a 17-year-old aspiring singer at the time of her encounter with Cosby, which took place in the mid-1960s in Hollywood after a visit to a jazz club.
"He was a star. He was Bill Cosby and I buried it in my memory until all of these brave women began to come forward," said Welles, who sobbed during her statement.

(17,997 posts)Do you mean if you believe them or not? Some guy that helped him do this. They were all young and wanted a career. He was a big star who could have ruined them. And don't forget the times. They wouldn't have been believed. Look at the woman that came out that she had a child by him.
