Three more Bill Cosby accusers have come forward -- more than 40 now. [View all]

All of these claims are past the statute of limitations, but will help the woman in the most recent case.

Three more women have publicly come forward with accusations that Bill Cosby sexually assaulted them in the 1970s and 80s, when they were in their 20s. The trio of women, including a former Reno bartender, joined the more than 40 women who said they were drugged or sexually assaulted by the comedian.

At a press conference Thursday, civil-rights attorney Gloria Allred, who is representing the accusers, said they are speaking out now because Cosby still refuses to "acknowledge and take responsibility for his conduct towards women."

In addition, she said, Cosby, who has never been charged over any of the allegations and denies any wrongdoing, continues to perform his “Far From Finished” concert tour "as though the allegations against him by more than 40 women mean nothing and should be disregarded."

Cosby's attorney did not immediately respond for comment. In a previous statement, the star's lawyer, Marty Singer, said claims " about alleged decades-old events are becoming increasingly ridiculous."
