Three More Women Accuse Bill Cosby of Sexual Assault 
-----------------------------------------------------


 
Three more women have come forward accusing comedian Bill Cosby of
sexual assault, bringing the number of public accusers to nearly 50.
Cosby is accused of drugging and raping dozens of women in cases that
date back decades. Lawyer Gloria Allred announced the new accusations on
Wednesday.

Gloria Allred: "Recently New York magazine had a photograph on their
cover of more than 30 women who had come forward publicly to accuse Bill
Cosby of having victimized them. That cover also featured an empty
chair, right here, which in the opinion of many people represented all
of the accusers who have not yet come forward. Today that empty chair is
filled by three new women."
