Bill Cosby Sex Allegations Update: Former Playboy Bunny Accuses Famed Comedian of Rape
A former Playboy bunny is among the latest group of women to accuse beleaguered comedian Bill Cosby of drugging and raping them over the years.
Victoria Valentino claims she was so shaken by her experience with Cosby that she decided to leave Hollywood altogether when she was just 24 years old.
"He put a pill down next to my wine glass and he said, 'Here, take this you'll feel better.' I was in that place where, sure, I'd like to feel better, so I took the pill," Valentino said.
In all, Yahoo reports four more women have recently emerged to claim Cosby sexually assaulted them, bringing the overall total of such accusations now lodged against the 77-year-old entertainer to nearly 40.
In Valentino's case, she alleges that she and a friend were so badly drugged they were barely able to speak. Cosby then reportedly took the women back to his apartment and assaulted them.
"In those days socially and legally who would have believed me? You know single white mother of a black child, a playboy center fold, up against a powerful wealthy television star," she said. "This man has to be the most prolific serial rapist in the 21st century."
Cosby has maintained his innocence and continues to do stand-up all around the country. During interviews, he has declined to discuss the allegations lodged against him.
In 2014, at least 14 women came forward with similar accusations against Cosby dating all the back to 1965, including former super model Janice Dickinson.
Attorney Gloria Allred represents nearly two dozen of Cosby's alleged victims and has labeled him a predator.
"If he is a sexual predator, he's one of the worst in this nation's history," she said. "The number of women is astounding."
For many of the alleged victims, the statute of limitations has already expired in their cases, meaning that many of them may never be heard in a court of law.
