The Cosby Show creator is accused of sexual assault and false imprisonment in a new civil lawsuit in Los Angeles, according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital. Donna Motsinger, the plaintiff, claims she was “drugged and raped” by the actor in 1972 while she was working as a waitress at The Trident restaurant in Sausalito, California.
The former waitress claimed Bill Cosby “followed” her home one night and asked her to attend his show at the Circle Star Theater, where he performed his stand-up “Inside the Mind of Bill Cosby.” He allegedly picked her up in a limousine and bought her a glass of wine on the way. When they arrived at her dressing room, “she began to feel ill and Mr. Cosby gave her what she thought was an aspirin.”
And added: “And suddenly she lost consciousness and regained consciousness while two men who were caring for Mr. Cosby put her in the limousine with Mr. Cosby…In the limousine, Mr. Cosby sat down at the window and put his car down and put his arm around her. »
She then claimed that she “woke up in her house with no clothes on except her underwear, no top, no bra and no pants.” She knew she had been drugged and raped by Bill Cosby.”
She also named the star’s production company, Jemmin, Inc., and Circle Star Theater in the complaint, claiming they failed to “ensure the safety of their guests in the hands of their artists.” She is demanding unspecified damages.
Bill Cosby has been accused of sexual abuse by more than 60 women over the years and has always maintained his innocence. He was convicted of sexual assault in Pennsylvania in 2018 but was released from prison in June 2021 after his conviction was overturned.
