Bill Cosby’s Lawyer Claims “Women Have Responsibility” When It Comes To Rape: Gothamist

The NY Mag feature addressed the victims’ reluctance to report the alleged assaults—many said they felt emboldened to speak up once more and more victims came forward. “I could have walked down any street of Manhattan at any time and said, ‘I’m being raped and drugged by Bill Cosby,’ but who the hell would have believed me?” Barbara Bowman, who told NY Mag she was repeatedly drugged and assaulted by the comedian when she was 17, said. “Nobody, nobody.” Another victim, PJ Masen, told the magazine that her supervisor at the Playboy Club told her, “Nobody’s going to believe you. I suggest you shut your mouth,” when she reported being assaulted.

68 percent of rapes go unreported, according to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN).
