... essentially that yes, in his attempts to persuade someone he didn't feel he had power over in the career or legally defined as bad sense, he'd touched junk without being invited and sometimes even if they seemed reluctant. But that he'd always taken a persistent emphatic no for an answer.
I'm not really sure if it isn't entirely possible that neither George or the model are deliberately lying.
The accuser doesn't describe a typical "drugging" or the type of drinks -- it's possible they were gigantic Long Islands poured liberally. Cosby victims pretty much exclusively described something lasting a very long time, and most things available back then were long-acting. He was able to drive within a few hours, if probably still legally intoxicated.
I've been in a blackout once. I "came to myself" trying to get a guy who'd convinced me to go back to a secluded area with him to leave me alone (said my age and he dropped me like a hot potato), but the urgent biological need that was probably how he got me back there was needing to find a restroom. Was the first time I'd ever drank, I drank too much too fast. It cleared up fairly quickly because I didn't drink more and my body got rid of it. And it scared the bejezus out of me, so I've never had lost time drinking or drank that fast since.
It's certainly much more likely that a person would remember a celebrity like George than that he would remember every person who might have been in his apartment at one time or another, especially if they never slept together/were closer than club friends. If it comes out that there's no way he could have forgotten, like we see credits from them working together closely where he'd have remembered a name, I'll be very sad. But people weren't keeping paranoid track of every sexual partner in 1981 to make sure they knew who to call if they got bad news. That was before it was known there was such thing as a fatal untreatable STD floating around, let alone how people were getting it, and gay or straight casual sex wasn't the big deal it became later.
If the model was blacked out... it's a sucky situation. It's the risk you take when you make a move on someone drinking, that they might be walking around talking and not recording memory. It could be that George and the accuser are both telling their side of the truth.
I still think the right thing to do when someone says they're feeling ill from something they've consumed is to take sex off the agenda and take care of the person. But if he was blacked out, he might have said he was feeling better.
