With 2 New Accusations, Number of Bill Cosby's Accusers Surpasses 50 
---------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Two more women have accused comedian Bill Cosby of drugging and raping
them, bringing the total number of accusers to more than 50. One of the
women spoke at a press conference with lawyer Gloria Allred Thursday.

Elizabeth (pseudonym): "I don't know how we got to the hotel room. He
went into the bathroom, undressed and came out in a robe. I told him I
needed to go back to the hotel. I could barely stand up, and I was
either going to pass out or get very sick. He made me kneel down, and
I'm not going to repeat what happened next. All I know is that it was
the most horrifying thing that could happen to any young woman. And I
have daughters. The next thing I remember is I was in the Rolls Royce
profusely vomiting. I apologized, and the driver said I wasn't the
first."

While she showed her face at the news conference, she did not want to be
identified, simply being called "Elizabeth." She is one of now more than
50 women who have accused Bill Cosby of sexual assault and rape.
