basketball and temple university are what bill cosby and andrea constand had in common when they met in 2001. constand says she trusted cosby and considered him a mentor. it is why from 2002 through 2004 she visited his home outside of philadelphia a handful of times. despite the fact that court documents show a troubling moment when she says cosby touched my leg and inner thigh. >> do we know at all why andrea constand kept going back to his house? >> he was her mentor. why shouldn't she? why shouldn't she? >> and she wanted his advice. by 2004, she was thinking about quitting her job with temple's

to taste it. he will later claim the pills were benadryl, an over the counter allergy medication he says he takes to relax. >> from her opinion these are far stronger than benadryl. >> she pretty quickly starts to lose consciousness. she feels dizzy. she feels weak. >> she says cosby helped her to the sofa. i was lying on my left side with my knees bent, she says. constand claims it was the last moment she was completely conscious. >> she says he touched her breasts. he touched her vagina and eventually he digitally penetrated her and the whole time she was semiconscious. >> i also remember him taking my right hand and placing my hand

on his penis, she says. >> she is scared. she wants it to stop. she is on the sofa. she remembers only bits, sort of -- >> blurry vision. >> what's happening, exactly. from bill cosby that's not happening at all. this is a consensual relationship and this is just the next step in something that is completely consensual. >> bill cosby agrees there was sexual contact that night but says it was all part of a romantic relationship. had you had any petting or romantic relationship prior to that night he is asked? yes, he says, insisting something similar happened at least three other times. he also says that constand was awake the entire time. and that she never told him to stop.

when asked if she consented, constand says no, i did not. she also denies any sort of romantic relationship with cosby. andrea constand says she awoke on bill cosby's couch around 4:00 a.m. claiming that cosby was standing nearby and offered her a muffin. she says she took a couple of pieces of it and left, his house, the school, the country, and she stayed quiet for a year. d around that cigarette when i started taking the chantix that urge just slowly diminished and it was a great and empowering feeling. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. chantix reduced my urge to smoke. when you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix, you may have nicotine withdrawal symptoms.

some people had changes in behavior or thinking, aggression, hostility, agitation, depressed mood or suicidal thoughts or actions with chantix. serious side effects may include seizures, new or worse heart or blood vessel problems, sleepwalking or allergic and skin reactions which can be life-threatening. stop chantix and get help right away if you have any of these. tell your healthcare provider if you've had depression or other mental health problems. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. the most common side effect is nausea. i don't even think about cigarettes anymore. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. many insurance plans cover chantix for a low or $0 copay. blue moon is brewed with valencia orange peel, ♪ for a taste that shines brighter.

but january of 2005, andrea constand was back home in toronto. hundreds of miles from philadelphia. what she said bill cosby did to her there still a secret. until she told her mom. >> her mother notices her behavior, her demeanor is, you know, she's apparently depressed

and she tells her mother what happened. >> her mother encouraged her to do what nobody had done before her. file a report against bill cosby. and follow it through. >> the woman said she was touched inappropriately. >> authorities in pennsylvania began investigating america's dad for sexual assault. but it had been a year. any forensic evidence that might have existed on constand or in cosby's home would likely be long gone. still -- >> when i read the interviews i thought he was being evasive. it just told me in my gut that at the very least he thought he had done something wrong. >> but feelings are not proof. and less than a month after the investigation started, the district attorney ended it, issuing a press release saying there was insufficient credible

and admissible evidence to prosecute bill cosby. >> and i became enranged. >> enraged, says barbara bowman because bill cosby attacked her when she was an 18-year-old aspiring actress. >> come up to colorado's favorite ski resort. >> he was her mentor, she says and invited her to his new york brownstone to practice and have dinner. >> sipping on my wine and we finished dinner. and -- i just sort of got this haze and then -- blank. and came to in the bathroom throwing up in the toilet. and he's right here and the robe is -- it's tied but it's open. and the boxer shorts are open.

and his penis is out. and it was very clear to me that my body was not in the same shape it was in when i got there. >> she tried to get help. but says nobody would listen. not even an attorney. >> he didn't believe me. come on, are you kidding me? that's bill cosby you're talking about. he laughed me out of the office. >> for 20 years, there was little barbara bowman could do. then, she heard about andrea constand. in 2005, the former basketball player filed a case in civil court after the d.a. refused to press criminal charges against cosby. >> i said i will do whatever it takes to let people know that that woman is telling the truth. when i finally got in touch with her attorney, and said my name

is barbara bowman and it happened to me too. and she told me, you're not the only one. i was the third. there were two others before me. then i found out there were ten more. >> she was among three accusers who went public at that time. >> team cosby has always strongly denied all allegations. but andrea constand's attorneys were determined the women be heard. petitioning the court to allow all 13 to tell their stories at trial. >> all of us were willing to testify. >> but the women never took the stand. the case never went to trial. cosby sat for a deposition but settled with constand in the summer of 2006. >> the deposition is sealed. there's some sort of financial agreement.

>> part of that suit, she couldn't talk about it and hasn't talked about it. >> and that was pretty much the end of the story. despite the fact that 13 other women claimed the man known as america's dad sexually assaulted them. >> nobody would believe it. and the mainstream wouldn't touch it. >> bill cosby has the [ bleep ] smuggest old black man public persona that i hate. he gets on tv pull your pants up -- >> that's hannibal burress performing in bill cosby's philadelphia in october of 2014. >> yeah, but you rape women, bill cosby. >> there was a philadelphia magazine blogger and he videotapes it and puts it online

and it immediately goes viral. >> people were googling it. and then barbara bowman stepped back into the middle of it all. she wrote an op-ed in the "washington post" and it opened the flood gates. >> he forced me to perform oral sex. >> and he is pushing the pill against my face and i couldn't breathe and i'm thinking i'm going to die. : point decisively with the arm of your glasses. abracadabra. the stage is yours. step two: choose la quinta. the only hotel where you can redeem loyalty points for a free night-instantly and win at business. it's ok that everybody ignoit's fine.n i drive. because i get a safe driving bonus check every six months i'm accident free. because i don't use my cellphone when i'm driving. even though my family does, and leaves me all alone.

prompted barbara bowman's op-ed alleging that cosby drugged and raped her. >> he offered me a large white pill. >> shen a series of stunning, unsettling allegations. >> he drugged and sexually assaulted me. >> against america's dad. >> i remember waking up in a bed with mr. cosby naked beneath his open robe. >> skirts undone, underwear torn. >> i remember the assault that is very graphic. he was naked, i was clothed. >> he hurt me the most wicked, horrible way. >> cosby has refused multiple interview requests but his lawyers issued this statement in november of 2014. these brand-new claims about alleged decades old events are becoming increasingly ridiculous and it is completely illogical

that so many people have said nothing, done nothing, and made no reports to law enforcement or asserted civil claims. >> cosby's attorneys have denied all the allegations. >> that's what they're hired to do. >> even if you don't believe to the letter of what every woman is saying, really, do you believe that there's absolutely nothing that this man has done with all of these stories so similar? >> among the similarities, claims of tainted drinks. >> he brought me a glass of white wine, just sip on it. made you your favorite drink. >> and mentoring relationships that turn manipulative. like those alleged by barbara bowman, andrea constand, and artist lili bernard. >> told you i got to -- >> she was a young actress when

cosby took notice. >> shen he began mentoring me. >> at first the relationship felt normal. >> he asked me to tell him everything about myself. he'd lean in. tell me about your dad. tell me about your mom. how many brothers and sisters do you have? where were you born? >> she told him she was sexually assaulted as a child. she thought he was a father figure interested in helping her succeed. and points to this 1991 answering machine recording she made of him. >> i'm asking you how you're doing. because you are one of my kids. >> bernard says that voice is bill cosby's. she says soon after the mentorship began, while putting

her through breathing exercises one day. >> he says you have to straighten your spine, drop your shoulders. >> things suddenly changed. >> he is behind me and puts his hand on my rib cage and he grabs my breasts and squeezes them. i said you grabbed my breasts and we were going back and forth and he said no, i didn't and he said you're one of my kids how would you think that of me. i started feeling guilty and ashamed like, how could i have thought that? he would never do that to me. >> then came atlantic city in summer of 1990 we are he gave her a brown, bad-tasting drink. >> i said, mr. c, i think i'm going to vomit. >> she threw up remembers him taking off her clothes and then

she says she passed out. >> and then i'm lying on the ground in and out of consciousness. i opened my eyes, the room is spinning and i see bill cosby's face here and brown chest over here. i was lying on my back and he was on top of me but there was a shaft inside of my vagina pushing. >> hours later he quickly dressed her and put her in a car. at first she says she was confused and wrote the vomiting off to food poisoning like a case she'd had months earlier. then she says reality hit her in the face. >> i remember looking down at my stockings on my legs, on my thighs and the ribbing was twisted to the right. i would never put my stockings on like that. i looked under my skirt and my cotton crotch is inside out and then i started thinking oh, my god this could not have happened

and i made a decision right there, this didn't happen. >> do you think that that's why when he then asked you to go to las vegas, is that why you were able to say yes? >> i totally blocked it out. i know this is hard for people to understand unless you are a trauma survivor. >> hard to understand why she'd agree to meet him again. but cosby, 27 years her senior was powerful and persuasive and she says he was still promising her big opportunities. this time, she says, a meeting in las vegas. >> action -- >> with producers from his his series "a different world." but once she arrived in las vegas, bernard says there were no producers. but there were beverages. a non-alcoholic one for her this time because she didn't drink.

>> he said i got you your sparkling apple cider. drink up. >> she says he pushed the bottom of the glass up to make her drink it faster. >> shortly thereafter the room starts spinning. my knees are weak. >> she thought maybe cosby gave her his alcoholic drink and it made her drunk. >> i just couldn't stand anymore and i just went boom and my left rib cage hit very hard the corner of a sharp coffee table. >> it hurt and it would later bruise. she passed out, came to and then passed out again. >> when he was raping me and i was telling him to stop, no stop, and i was screaming. he put his hand on my mouth and yelling shut up, bernard and

took the pillow and started pushing it against my face. i couldn't move because of the drugs and he is pushing and i couldn't breathe. that is a moment i thought i was going to die of suffocation. >> the pillow, the bruise. this time, she says she couldn't block what happened out of her mind. instead, she did something else. >> i made a decision never to be alone in a room with him again. >> but that didn't mean giving up on what she says he promised her, a guest spot on her show. in this answering machine recording, bernard says she pressed him on it. >> i'm waiting to be on your show. >> i called to put you on it -- >> when? when, mr. c? >> don't you remember calling me back and saying thank you very much for remembering me. >> hold up. i was at a play and you called

me two hours before you wanted me in the studios. >> well, just talk about the darn thing. wait, wait, wait -- don't go crazy on me now, because there are parts. >> soon enough, the call would come that lili bernard says changed her life forever. >> i get a phone call from bill cosby tells me, you have to come down, the role is ready for you.

spot on "the cosby show" something she says he promised her for so long and she worked for so hard that she agreed to see him again. once inside his home, she says the phone call never came. and he wanted to do acting exercises. nearby them was a bottle of body lotion. >> he told me to take that bottle and do what you have to do with that and i said i don't know what you're talking about mr. c so he picks up the bottle and walks behind me and there he is seated and his pants were open and he grabs my hand and put them on his penis. i began to cry and sob and said i can want do this. stop it, i can't. >> devastated and sobbing, she says he handed her a drink. >> very quickly, like within 15 minutes my body began feeling

heavy like lead. >> a feeling, she says, followed by a realization. >> at that point, i was triggered to remember that this happened to me in atlantic city. it happened in las vegas. that moment was critical for me because at that moment i realized, wow, he didn't rape me in atlantic city because i had food poisoning. he didn't rape me a year prior in las vegas because i was accidentally drunk. this is premeditated. he drugged me. he drugged me in atlantic city. he drugged me in las vegas. he drugged me now. >> in a haze, bernard says she fired back. >> i began yelling at him saying i am going to the police and he told me the minute i go to the police he's going to file a police report against me for false accusation and defamation. i staggered up the stairs.

i began walking that way. there was a metal post here and i was holding on it and leaning on it like this. >> despite her condition she managed to hail a cab home. >> i remember specifically putting my hands on the steps to help myself walk up. >> she buzzed her boyfriend, now husband. >> i said i need help, come down now. she says they went up the steps, inside the apartment and decided together they had no choice but to stay quiet. >> he made it very clear he was going to blacklist me and tell people i was a slut and whore and no-good talent. >> if someone said it was consensu consensual? >> that is baloney. >> she confided in her friend.

>> she said he drugged and raped me. that's something you don't forget. >> i remember emphatically wanting to go to the police and her emphatically not wanting me to go. >> nancy brown was her agent. a few weeks after the alleged incident she called bernard with some stunning news. she had booked "the cosby show". >> when the contractions reach eight minutes apart that's when you call me. what did i just say? >> call you every eight minutes. >> the episode aired in january of 1992. >> afterwards, bernard said she tried to move on but couldn't and attempted suicide as she had when she was a teen. >> nobody knew that i spent many moments up there trying to kill myself. >> after one suicide attempt in 1992, a psychotherapist had her

make these drawings. >> mr. c, i can't move. i can't breathe. somebody help me. >> breaking news, a stunning admission from bill cosby. >> admitting underoath he gave drugs to one woman before having sex with her. >> in july of 2015, bernard got validation from an unexpected place. an unsealed transcript of cosby's deposition in the andrea constand civil case. in the 2005 deposition, constand's attorney asked cosby about another woman's claim that he gave her quaaludes in las vegas. when you got the quaaludes was it in your mind that you were going to use these quaaludes with young woman that you wanted to have sex with? yes, cosby answered. >> some people looked at that as a smoking gun, there are the drugs he procured for sex. >> my first thought is that was

an admission. >> it's not that simple. cosby's lawyers objected and cosby claimed he misunderstood the question. woman he corrected, not women. referring to the woman he met in las vegas who he says consented to taking the powerful sedative. the deposition is a bomb. and it sets off another. >> mr. cosby, anything you want to say? >> we are here to announce today charges that have just been filed against william henry cosby. >> december 30, 2015, just weeks before the 12-year statute of limitations was set to expire in the andrea constand case, america's dad, bill cosby was arraigned on three felony counts of aggravated indecent assault. >> what was new? >> two things had changed. the great wave of complaints by

other women. many more than they had been aware of a decade earlier and two, the deposition, the deposition is very key because it's his own words. >> guys, can you move out of the way? >> cosby's own words have been a rarity on this subject. he will not address bernard's allegations or any others. he will not speak to us on camera. he says he will not testify at trial. but his own words may get him in trouble anyway. when you have moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, the unpredictability of a flare may weigh on your mind. thinking about what to avoid, where to go, and how to work around your uc. that's how i thought it had to be. but then i talked to my doctor about humira, and learned humira can help get and keep uc under control... when certain medications haven't worked well enough.

december 30th, 2015. >> we are here to announce today charges. >> more than 10 years after andrea constn made her allegations, they've resulted in three counts of aggravated indecent assault against bill cosby. he was accused of dig tale penetrating her while she was unconscious and administering intox knts for resistance. for his accusers it was an exhilarating day. >> i felt vindicated. it was a hallelujah moment for me. >> prosecutors hopes to show a

trial where she alleged what bill cosby did he did dozens of times before. they found 13 women to testify. among them, heidi thomas. who says bill cosby sexually assaulted her 33 years ago in reno. >> i would have enjoyed being able to look him in the eye and essentially say you didn't win. i'm not broken. >> it would never happen. cosby's attorneys petitioned to keep the 13 accusers out of the trial and the judge decided to let only one woman testify. her name is kelly johnson. >> he said would i give you anything that would hurt you? trust me. >> like constn, she says bill

cosby gave her an unknown medication and assaulted her. >> it was a huge victory for the defense for cosby. because it brought us awfully close to he said/she said. >> cosby's accusers hope it ends here inside this historic court house six miles outside philadelphia. a verdict could come before the end of june. if bill cosby is found guilty of all charges, the nearly 80-year-old actor could get up to 30 years behind bars. >> he stands here today maintaining that innocence. >> will the prosecution be able to prove guilt? there is no known forensic evidence and only one accuser will testify. but they do have cosby's own words. in late april the judge decided

to allow in his deposition testimony about quaaludes. on the first day of trial america's dad showed up with one of his tv daughters. on the left, keisha knight pulium. and on hand, lili bernard. >> i'm here as a shoe of support and solidarity. i'm praying a lot. >> for andrea constan who took the stand on day two. she calmly testified cosby gave her three pills which made her incapable of fighting off an assault. on cross examination the defense was quick to point out inconsistencies. when she first spoke with canadian police she said she'd never been with cosby alone before or after the alleged assault and it happened during a

dinner with other people. she acknowledged those statements were wrong and testified if she said them it was because she was nervous. the defense hit hard, pointing out not only her inconsistencies but behavior some may find puzzling. >> after, and i stress after, this so-called incident the complainant continued contact cosby, accepted a dinner invitation. >> all true she says. the question now what will the jury make of it? lilli bernard is unlikely to ever get her day in court. >> unless we come up with a new theory, she is barred. >> barred because statute of limbitation laws for rape

limited the amount of time she had to report her allegations. bernard and other cosby accusers helped get rid of those laws for new cases of rape in california. nearly all of the cosby accuseers are in the same boat as lili bernard, which is why some have turned to civil court. among them, barbara bowman. she is among seven accusers jointly suing cosby for defamation. he is countersuing for the same reason. many of bill cosby's accusers have chosen to sue hymn now. you have not. why? >> to me that plays right into everybody's argument about what we're all out for, fame or money. and to people whom i point to all of those that sued and say that's it. gold diggers.

well, i know several of them. he ruined lives. i know some of them are in desperate need. >> heidi thomas says cosby did not ruin her life. >> i forgive him. i think he's sick. does that make it something he shouldn't be punished for? no. >> do you want to see bill cosby convicted? >> of course i do. >> do ayou want him to go to prison? >> yes. so they know there's no amount of money that can keep you out of jail. >> what should the legacy of bill cosby be? >> complicate. i looked up to him because he finds what is real and finds the humor in it. he's brilliant. he uses the same intelligence as a predator. so what is his legacy?

for me he is a brilliant predator. that's how i will remember him. i don't know how other people will. as president trump outrages planet earth and americans either cheer or gnash their teeth, tonight i'd like to take you on a road trip across our great political divide. since i'm a mutt raised in states red and blue, i'll drive. the topics are touchy, the guests are brilliant and the tank is full. so jump in i'm bill weir, these are the states of change. i know what you're thinking. what's with the license p
