One by one, more than a dozen women recounted their horrifying experiences, allegedly at the hands of Bill Cosby over the years, during A&E's airing of "Cosby: The Women Speak" Thursday night.

In all, more than 50 women have now stepped forward over the last several months to accuse the legendary comedian of drugging and sexually assaulting them over a period that spans more than four decades.

While the statute of limitations has come and gone on many of the accusations -- denying those women the opportunity to seek criminal charges or even file lawsuits against Cosby -- the alleged victims are now pledging to remain united and do all they can to assure that justice is served.

"He's given us all a purpose; a sisterhood purpose," ABC reports Lise-Lotte Lublin said of a movement among the accusers to change the statute of limitations. "We're going to make a change in the world. We've already started."

Fellow accuser Barbara Bowman added, "I have gone from victim to victim's advocate."

Through his attorneys, the 78-year-old Cosby has long denied all the allegations lodged against him and has never been criminally charged. Early next month, he faces a deposition hearing in California, in which Judy Huth claims he drugged and assaulted her at the Playboy Mansion more than 40 years ago when she was just 15 years old.

The interrogation is slated to be performed by famed civil rights attorney Gloria Allred, who has promised to grill Cosby about each and every one of his alleged victims.

The women accusing Cosby include Playboy bunnies, actresses, models, businesswomen and flight attendants.

"Mr. Cosby has denied the accusations that have been lodged thus far," his attorney Monique Pressley said on a recent episode of "Good Morning America." "The sheer volume or number of people who are saying a particular thing does not make it true."
