Two more women came forward on Thursday to add to the growing list of sexual assault cases against Bill Cosby, Reuters has learned. In a conference with attorney Gloria Allred, former actress Charlotte Fox and a woman who goes by the name of "Elizabeth" claimed that Cosby assaulted them during the 1970s.
According to a report from Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Fox, who was 23 years old at that time, was sexually assaulted at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles. She revealed that everything started in the early '70s when she met Cosby while playing as an extra on the comedian's film, "Uptown Saturday Night."
The former actress claimed that Cosby invited her and some other people to a jazz club before going to Hugh Hefner's mansion, where she fell ill after consuming an alcoholic drink.
“I vaguely remember coming back from the bathroom," she recalled. "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."
Fox further stated that she was "incapacitated" at that time to even refuse. "He engaged in sexual activity with me. It was not consensual," she stressed.
Meanwhile, the second woman, Elizabeth, said that she met Cosby in 1976 when she was 19 and working as a flight attendant. Disclosing the same details with Fox's story, Elizabeth also claimed that Cosby invited him to the Playboy Mansion. At first, the 19-year-old refused, but due to the comic's persistence, she eventually went with him.
According to Elizabeth, they went to a restaurant near the mansion. Even though she was not a regular alcohol drinker, Cosby allegedly insisted on letting her drink sake to "loosen" her up.
After that, she claimed that she was in a "trance-like state" like she was "dreaming."
"I don’t remember how we got to his hotel room. He went to the bathroom and undressed and came out in a robe. He made me kneel down. All I know is that it was the most horrifying thing that could happen to an innocent woman," she added.
TV Week notes that with Fox and Elizabeth's allegations, the number of accusers against Cosby has now climbed above the "half-century mark."
According to Reuters, Cosby's lawyers have denied the "wrongdoing" of their client. Despite the allegations, Cosby has never been criminally charged because the statute of limitations for the cases has run out.
