Bill Cosby ruined by sexual assault allegations?

Four4Four: Janice Dickinson joins long list of accusers claiming they were sexually assaulted by Bill Cosby

A seventh woman has claimed publicly that Bill Cosby sexually assaulted her, but she also says he helped her financially after she was injured in a car accident, and with her college education.

Therese Serignese contacted The Huffington Post, which ran a lengthy interview in which she claimed Cosby assaulted her 38 years ago, and also recounted repeatedly reaching out to him for help in the years to come.

“The reason I'm coming forward now is that I'm still angry about what he did, and I'm angry that he pretends he didn't do these things,” Serignese, now 58 and a registered nurse, told the blog. “People know what they do. He's gotta have some kind of a conscience and he has to feel some kind of guilt in his heart for what he did. And he owes every one of us a sincere apology."

Serignese says she was 19 in 1976 when she and her family were in Las Vegas. She said Cosby came up to her in the gift shop of her hotel “and said: ‘Will you marry me?’ And I turned around to see who it was, and it was Bill Cosby.”

Serignese said she went to his comedy show and was escorted to his room afterward, where he gave her two white pills, which she took.

“The next memory I have was in a bathroom, and the bathroom mirror was there and maybe a cabinet was open or something. I was bending forward and he was behind me having sex with me. I was being raped,” she said.

Serignese said the two then actually kept in touch over the years, during which time she thought he assaulted her again in the mid-1980s.

But Serignese also said Cosby helped her along the way as well, offering to give her $500 for every "A" she got when she enrolled in nursing school, and sending her $5,000 when she was badly injured in a car accident. She included a photograph of a letter accompanying the $5,000 she said was sent by Cosby’s then agent, who is now deceased.

She also included a letter she said was from Andrea Constand's lawyer, asking her to testify in her case against Cosby, which was settled out of court. Constand filed a lawsuit alleging Cosby drugged and molested her. Serignese says she was one of the 12 unnamed women who testified in that case.

Serignese gave similar interviews to People magazine and a West Palm Beach TV affiliate. Cosby’s lawyers did not respond to the Huffington Post’s request for comment, but they have denied the claims made by other women who have publicly claimed the comedian assaulted them, including former model Janice Dickinson. Cosby's lawyer called Dickinson's claim this week an “outrageous defamatory lie.”

Another accuser, Linda Joy Traitz, spent years in prison for drug trafficking and fraud, among other crimes, TMZ reports. She had claimed Cosby drove her to a beach "and opened a briefcase filled with assorted drugs." Cosby's lawyer Martin Singer said Traitz was "the latest example of people coming out of the woodwork with unsubstantiated or fabricated stories about my client."

Cosby, 77, refused to comment on the matter in recent recorded interviews with National Public Radio and the Associated Press.
