‘Jane Does’ who testified in Cosby suit plan news conference

In it, he acknowledges under oath that he obtained powerful sedatives in order to give them to women he sought for sex, thus confirming at least one aspect of a pattern his accusers say he followed in encounters with young women over decades.

Both women, while fighting back tears, described the alleged assaults during a news conference on Monday, joined by their lawyer Gloria Allred.

Allred said the women are seeking to have the entire deposition unsealed so they can defend themselves.

Constand’s original lawsuit included 13 “Jane Doe” women witnesses who were to testify on her behalf that Cosby did the same thing to them that Constand alleges he did to her.

Allred also said her clients object to unconfirmed reports over the weekend that Camille Cosby believes her husband’s accusers voluntarily took drugs Cosby offered them. He has denied all wrongdoing and has never been charged with a crime, and so far has declined to comment on the latest developments.

Cosby admitted in documents released last week that in 1976 he had supplied Quaaludes-a strong depressant widely used in the 1960s and 70s-to a woman who later accused him of sexual assault.

Ferrier, Neal, and Allred all said they want Camille Cosby to voice support for the alleged victims.

A phone message left for Cosby’s attorneys in Philadelphia was not immediately returned.

Ferrier, who was Jane Doe No. 5 in Constand’s lawsuit, said Cosby admitted he was with her in Denver in the released portion of the deposition. The suit was filed in Pennsylvania by a Temple University employee who claimed she was assaulted by Cosby.

“My refusal of his constant advances fueled his desire and eventual drugging rape ritual”, Ferrier said in her statement.

“In the recently released excerpts of his deposition, Bill Cosby admits that he was with me in Denver and that he, quote, ‘probably had sex with me, ‘” Ferrier said at the news conference Monday.

Ferrier’s lawyer, Joyce L. Collier, said in the motion that “Cosby has made multiple public statements claiming that women who have accused him of sexual assault have been “discredited” and that the allegations are merely “innuendo”…”

The 2005 lawsuit was filed by a Temple University staffer, who claimed Cosby drugged and groped her during a 2004 visit to his Philadelphia home. Ferrier said she told the National Enquirer in 2005, but the tabloid did not run her story, instead choosing to publish an interview with the performer.

Neal said she was assaulted by Cosby in 1983 when she a masseur at a Las Vegas health club. However, he said he knew “of no reason why Ms. Neal would fabricate such a story”, according to the defense motion.
