Bill Cosby Accuser Jane Doe No. 2 Reveals Her Identity: 'I Decided to Speak My Truth'

Source: People

As Bill Cosby goes to court seeking to discredit three women who've accused him of sexual offenses, a Florida woman who previously shared her story anonymously is revealing her identity for the first time.

Jennifer K. "Kaya" Thompson, the onetime Jane Doe No. 2, is coming forward to back those women and 35 others who've made claims against the comedian.

"It's come to my understanding that there's greater credibility for my testimony with a full name and an image," Thompson, 44, who formerly went public only as "Jena T.," tells PEOPLE exclusively.

"I am so very grateful for the Jane Doe who came before me in the lawsuit 10 years ago," she continues. "At that time, to hear another woman's support of one of Cosby's victims by the admission of her own story was beyond affirming and I felt that a cloud that was above me began to lift off.
