PHILADELPHIA (AP) β Bill Cosby has painted many of his accusers as star-struck gold-diggers β aspiring models and actresses trying to shake him down to get ahead in Hollywood.
Yet the first woman known to have told police she was drugged and violated by the comedian wasn’t in show biz at all. She was a college athletic administrator in Philadelphia.
Andrea Constand’s lawsuit a decade ago helped set off the torrent of allegations that have shattered Cosby’s nice-guy image as TV’s Dr. Cliff Huxtable.
This week, a court released damning testimony from the case. In it, Cosby admitted obtaining quaaludes to give to women he wanted to have sex with.
