‘He’s a serial rapist’

Makes Statement0 Comments

In an appearance with Don Lemon on CNN, Tarshis adds more details about her attempt to get Cosby to stop raping her by saying she had an infection.

I thought I was very clever in saying that, but he was more clever. And instead he made me have oral sex with him, which really was horrible. To me it was much much worse than if he had just raped me the normal way.

She also describes Cosby as a “serial rapist”.

He’s a serial rapist actually. When you rape at least 15 women then that’s a serial rapist in my opinion.
