LOS ANGELES — Three more women went public on Wednesday afternoon in Los Angeles accusing Bill Cosby of sexually assaulting them in the '70s and '80s as their lawyer proposed two ways the beleaguered comedian could deal with the mounting accusations he has been facing for weeks.
Asking if Cosby wants to be remembered as a "saint or a sexual predator" and claiming her office has been flooded with calls from women who say they, too, were assaulted by the comedian, civil rights lawyer Gloria Allred outlined two options for Cosby.
Allred said Cosby should consider waiving the statute of limitations that prohibits the women from filing lawsuits against him. But if he "doesn't want to subject himself to scrutiny," Cosby should consider establishing a $100 million fund for victims who would appear before a panel of retired judges who would then determine if their claims have merits and how they should be compensated. Cosby would also appear before the confidential panel, Allred said.
