Film executive Cindra Ladd is the latest in a string of women to accuse Bill Cosby of sexual assault. In an Monday essay for the Huffington Post, she writes that Cosby drugged and raped her in 1969, after offering her a capsule that he promised would be a "miracle cure" for her headache.
Ladd says she won't make any further statements about her allegation and that she has "no plans to sue." But another woman might. Earlier this month, Chloe Goins, a woman who claims Cosby sexually assaulted her at a party at the Playboy mansion in 2008, reportedly met with Los Angeles police this week to discuss pursuing criminal charges against him.
Goins, who went public with her allegations in December 2014, is the most recent addition to a growing list of women who have publicly claimedthat they know or suspect that Cosby sexually assaulted and/or drugged them — and she's the first whose claims appear to fall within a statute of limitations that would allow for criminal prosecution.
The dates of the alleged incidents described by Cosby's many accusers, all of which the 77-year-old comedian and his lawyers have denied, span from 1965 to 2008.
The allegations often follow a similar narrative: Cosby offers a woman a cup of coffee or alcoholic beverage, after which he sexually assaults her while she is impaired or unconscious. In addition, a handful of other women have accused Cosby of drugging them without sexually assaulting them, or of inappropriate grabbing or kissing without drugging them.
The women include lawyers, waitresses, aspiring actresses, and fellow celebrities, such as models Janice Dickinson and Beverly Johnson. Some had dating relationships with Cosby, while others say they saw him as a mentor. Some accusers say they were in their teens at the time of their claims.
It's a lot to keep up with.
Here's a timeline of the alleged events, significant legal developments, and public allegations.
