3 more women detail disturbing sex abuse accusations against Bill Cosby

Source: NY Daily News

Three more women came forward Wednesday with accusations of being sexually abused by Bill Cosby — including an actress who worked on “The Cosby Show” and another who appeared in a Charles Bronson action movie.

The actresses — Eden Tirl and Linda Ridgeway — were joined by a former New York flight attendant named Colleen Hughes.

Ridgeway, best known for her turn in the 1972 Bronson movie “The Mechanic,” said she was attacked by Cosby a year earlier when she went to talk to him about her career.

“His attack was fast with surgical precision and surprise on his side,” she said. “I couldn't breathe. I was in shock.”

but I will never understand how you make that okay in your own head that you can do this to another human being and get away with it. are you so compartmentalized that this is so separated out from who you present yourself to the world as? how sick

after that night, I realized he wasn't funny, but I would not have guessed that he was a serial rapist.

When this story first started breaking, when there were "only" 2 or 3 women accusing him, DU was full of, "these women just want his money" or "these women just want to be famous" or "they're only doing it because he's African American."

Where are all those little cowards now?

Much of his time seems to have been spent on planning, executing and improving his rape record. I wonder if he even tailored his work to facilitate for him to get access to potential victims...
