Asks Cosby to face his accusers
Attorney Allred asks that Cosby either waive the statute of limitations on sexual assault allegations and stand trial or set aside 100 million in a fund for his alleged victims, during a press conference in Los Angeles. Allred is joined by three of Cosby’s accusers at the press conference, Beth Ferrier, Helen Hayes, and Chelan.
It could be advantageous for Mr. Cosby to give up the statute of limitations because there is a huge cloud on his reputation and legacy. Many of those alleged victims contacted me to determine if they had any legal rights that they could assert against Mr. Cosby. Unfortunately, with a rare exception, I had to inform these women that it was too late for them to file a lawsuit against Mr. Cosby because of the statute of limitations. If Mr. Cosby believes all the women are being untruthful, then this is his opportunity to prove it. What could be fairer than that?
Claims Cosby drugged and assaulted her
Ferrier, who was Jane Doe No. 5 in Andrea Constad’s civil lawsuit against Cosby, says that Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her in the 1980s, during a press conference led by attorney Gloria Allred in Los Angeles.
He drugged me and sexually assaulted me. I want Mr. Cosby to face justice for what he has done to me and so many other women.
