New Bill Cosby Accuser Goes Public After His Nephew Defends Him Against Rape Claims

A woman named Donna Motsinger, who claims she was one of the women who testified against Bill in Andrea Constand's lawsuit in 2005, says he drugged and raped her in 1971.

Another woman has accused Bill Cosby of sexual assault. In a new interview with Page Six, published on early Wednesday, November 26, Donna Motsinger, 73, said the 77-year-old comedian drugged and raped her in 1971. At that time, she worked as a waitress at a jazz club in Sausalito, California. 

Donna, who lives in Taos, New Mexico, claimed she was one of the 12 women who testified against Bill in Andrea Constand's lawsuit in 2005. Being known as Jane Doe No. 8 in the suit, Donna said she felt like a "coward" if she did not share her story now. "I feel guilty not telling my story," she told the site, "I'm a coward over here. Those women are brave. It's the least I can do. I want to tell people so [the victims] can't be bullied, so they can't be discredited." 

As the number of Bill's accusers has been growing hour by hour, his nephew spoke out on behalf of his uncle. Speaking to FarrahGray.com, Braxton Cosby said, "I believe he is innocent and unless the judicial system can prove otherwise, I stand behind him and his contributions." 

When asked if his uncle was the victim of a "media lynching," Braxton said, "I wouldn't go as far as correlating it with the word 'lynching,' as that would imply some sort type of death being associated with the attack. In this case, my uncle and his legacy are still more alive and well than ever before. He is still performing and going about normal business despite the unjustified claims." 

"I would be more inclined to compare it to the passage in the Bible where the people of the village were about to stone the woman caught in adultery and Jesus challenged them by saying that the person who is without sin should cast the first stone," he told the site. 

"The one difference in this case being that the woman was caught in the act and her accusers brought her forward," he continued, "I want to remind everyone that we live in the greatest country in the entire world, one that prides itself on the moral law that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. That's where we stand at this time with the allegations brought against my uncle.
