Metro Detroit Woman Is Latest To Claim Sexual Abuse By Bill Cosby
DETROIT (CBS Detroit) - A metro Detroit woman has added her name to a growing list of actresses who claim to have had unwanted sexual encounters with actor-comedian Bill Cosby.
In a video interview Thursday with the New York Daily News, Angela Leslie of Warren, who's now 52, said she met with Cosby in 1992 at his Las Vegas hotel room to discuss her entertainment career.
Leslie claims that's where Cosby forced her into unprovoked sexual activity.
"If you want to act, show me what you've got. Pretend you're intoxicated," she claims Cosby demanded, before he poured her a "dark beverage," which — because of other women's claims — she now believes may have been drugged.
Leslie said she took only a sip, as it tasted too strongly of alcohol.
I couldn't drink it," she told the Daily News. "I tasted it and put it down. Then he asked me to go into the bathroom and wet my hair... walked back out, and he had removed his clothing and gotten into bed."
That's when, the woman claims, Cosby took her hand and used it to rub himself sexually.
"...I felt pretty dirty, and I just felt disgusted about it," Leslie said, adding that she feels her career was cut short after that meeting.
"The Cosby Show" star has come under fire in recent weeks after seven other women have accused him of sexual assault.
Why is Leslie coming forward with this story, so many years later?
"I just feel he's been too quiet, not saying anything, not apologizing," Leslie told the Daily News. "He's trying to pretend these girls are lying. It's frustrating.
"He is that type of person, a predator," she said. "The main thing I want is for people to know him for who he really is...He's not this dad of America."
Cosby's attorney, Martin Singer, has said all of the allegations made against the comedian are utter nonsense.
