The newest cover of New York Magazine pictures 35 women, out of the 46, who have accused 78 year old comedian Bill Cosby of sexually assaulting them.
The story and pictures, put together by Noreen Malone and Amanda Demme over six months, give an in-depth view of all the women's accusations, spanning more than five decades. Their stories are remarkably similar, typically involving the comedian offering a woman a cup of coffee or some sort of alcoholic beverage — which may be spiked with drugs — and allegedly sexually assaulting the
victim as she's impaired or unconscious.
The cover comes one week after a deposition of Cosby taken during a sexual assault case from 2005 was published by the New York Times. In the court documents, Cosby admitted to giving the plaintiff, Andrea Constand, one and a half tablets of Benadryl to relieve stress. According to Cosby, the sexual contact they had was consensual.
“I walk her out. She does not look angry. She does not say to me, don’t ever do that again,” he said. “She doesn’t walk out with an attitude of a huff, because I think I’m a pretty decent reader of people and their emotions in these romantic sexual things, whatever you want to call them.”
The evidence against Cosby appears to be mounting. Over the course of a decade, public opinion has shifted from seeing his accusers as money-hungry starlets to seeing them as a stunningly large group of alleged victims with remarkably similar alleged experiences.
