There has been a growing uproar in the last few weeks over allegations that Bill Cosby assaulted several women over a number of years.

Former model, Janice Dickinson, has become the latest woman to make an assault claim against the comedian.

Dickinson told Entertainment Tonight that she was raped in 1982 by the comedian. Cosby flew her to Lake Tahoe where he was working in order to offer her a job.

They went back to her hotel room and she said: “He’d given me wine and a pill,” she said. “I remember before I passed out I had been sexually assaulted by this man.”

In 2006, Cosby settled a civil suit with another woman over an alleged incident two years before.

In a recent article in the Washington Post, Barbara Bowman, who accused Cosby of drugging and raping her in 1985, wrote how she was "grateful for the new attention to Cosby's crimes".

A lawyer for Bill Cosby says the comedian won't respond to, what he's calling, "decade-old, discredited" allegations of sexual abuse.

However, his attorney says the fact the claims are being repeated doesn't make them true.

Mr Cosby apparently doesn't intend to "dignify" the allegations with a comment. However, he has not responded to the claims from Ms Dickinson, according to Buzzfeed.
