Bill Cosby Accuser In 2005 Case Reveals Details Of Alleged Assault
Source: Huffington Post
One of the Jane Doe witnesses in the 2005 sexual assault lawsuit against comedian Bill Cosby has come forward to share her story for the first time. Patricia, who is not releasing her last name, spoke to BuzzFeed News for an article published Tuesday about her alleged assault at Cosby's hands in 1978.
Patricia told the website that she met Cosby while she was a 22-year-old conference planner at the University of Massachusetts, which had invited the comedian as a featured speaker for an event. Upon learning she was a singer, Cosby allegedly offered to mentor her.
Cosby invited her to his home in Shelburne Falls, Mass., for a dinner party, she said, but when she arrived, she was the only guest. She said that Cosby gave her a mixed drink and asked her to act out various scenarios, including one in which she pretended "to be a queen with oatmeal on her face."
Buzzfeed reports:
Patricia blacked out and then came to in Cosby's guest bedroom, she said. She was naked, and Cosby was standing over her in a bathrobe. He told Patricia she had thrown up and passed out and that he'd had to wash her dress. He was even nice enough to offer her a toothbrush.

(67,782 posts)...she said she was first assaulted in 1978, then it happened again in 1980? And then was a "witness" in a case that took place in a different state and city 25 years later?
Don't accuse me of being one of those who attacks the victim, but this just doesn't add up to me.

As for being a witness (no quotes needed) in the case in PA, lawyers know how to found witnesses who don't live in the same state.
You are attacking the victim when you state that it just doesn't add up for you.

(109,024 posts)what had happened to her the first time, which isn't "strange" at all when someone has been drugged.
And she was a "witness" in the later case because she testified about what happened to her years before -- helping to show that Cosby had a longstanding pattern of similar attacks on women.

(14,459 posts)Regardless of whether anyone wants to believe the incidents, they all have similar patterns and paint a disturbing picture of a person who was practically worshiped.
I always think it's bad when people put another human in a social place where they can do no wrong. That's usually when they do the most.
The scope and the details of the manipulation etc are super creepy and disturbing. All the more so when compared against the public persona that was used as a tool in the manipulation.

(14,459 posts)It's hard not to see his public persona as being crafted solely so he could have access to more women and girls, and then to have the cover to protect himself if they dared to accuse him of his actions. A true wolf in sheep's clothing. All of it premeditated, as well.
