Woman alleges Cosby raped her -- and other Playboy bunnies

[avaistheone1]

Source: CNN

CNN) -- By the late 1960s, Bill Cosby was a married man well on his way to having five children, not to mention a landmark career in stand-up comedy, television and beyond. ...(snip)

Among Cosby's accusers is Judy Huth, who recently sued Cosby alleging he sexually molested her at the Playboy Mansion when she was 15 years old. Another woman who worked as a server, or "bunny," at a Playboy club accused Cosby of forcibly kissing her, and a former Playboy playmate alleged he drugged and raped her.

And, P.J. Masten, one of the two ex-bunnies who have publicly accused Cosby of sexual assault, told CNN's Alisyn Camerota that there are other women who have not come forward, or will not.

&quot There are) 12 former bunnies that I know of that are ashamed to come forward, frightened to come forward, married with families (and) don't want to come forward." Masten said. "But they were also drugged and raped by Bill Cosby."

Counting 12 more women allegedly raped by Cosby

[SoapBox]

1. I know I'll take heat for this...

Why, at age 15, was she at a Playboy Mansion?

[Happyhippychick]

3. That's not the issue. The issue is that she was raped by Bill Cosby.

Let's stick to that so we don't get distracted.

[juajen]

25. I'm not distracted, and I want to know also.

A fifteen year old? What was she doing there? This is an important question and should lead to other charges.

[freeplessinseattle]

26. Per my post below

Also Cosby's doing

"Huth claims she and a female friend met and chatted with Cosby on the set of a movie they saw was being filmed in a suburban Los Angeles park, and that he invited them to his tennis club the following Saturday.

The suit also says the girls told Cosby they were 15- and 16-years-old when he asked their ages.

Arriving at the tennis club days later, the two girls played a drinking game with Cosby at his suggestion, and he then led them to the Playboy Mansion after they "had been served multiple alcoholic beverages."

Once at the mansion, the suit said, Cosby instructed the girls to lie about their ages if asked. It was there that the Huth said she emerged from a bathroom to find Cosby on a bed, asking her to sit beside him before groping her."

28. It occurred to me also and I'm not distracted -

(nor am I blaming the victim).

[avaistheone1]

4. Why was a married man with 5 children at the Playboy mansion, and why is he taking other people's

children there?

Huth's story also has a Playboy connection. In her lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, she claims that Cosby met her and a 16-year-old friend when he was filming a movie in the Southern California city's Lacy Park.

He invited them to his tennis club, serving them alcoholic beverages there, then took them to the Playboy Mansion, according to the lawsuit.

Bill Cosby took her to the mansion. Judy Huth was just a kid and naive. She probably thought she could trust the nice, funny man she saw on TV selling Jello pudding pops and cracking jokes. A child is vulnerable to say the least when they are being plied with alcohol by an adult.

[Blue_Tires]

19. I am at least a little interested why Hugh Hefner allowed Cosby

to (allegedly) repeatedly sexually assault his employees and (at least) one minor on his property...It's not like he can plead ignorance to what went on...

Cosby wouldn't have done those things if he didn't feel the Playboy Mansion was a "safe" environment...

[wordpix]

39. welcome to the Hotel California (apparently song is about Playboy Mansion)

You can check out any time you want/but you can never leave..

[Frank Cannon]

5. That was my very first thought.

Not "blaming the victim" here by any means, but where the fuck were that girl's parents/guardians? They should be brought up on charges, too.

[murielm99]

7. Did you ever do things behind your

parents' backs? I did. I sneaked out a few times. I went places I had no business going.

In my case, I did not do those things often. But all kids break the rules. Maybe that is what happened here.

[Nye Bevan]

15. At age 15 I snuck into the Playboy mansion a few times

in my dreams.

[titaniumsalute]

21. Yeah I sneaked out of the house and TPed the neighbors a few times

I might have even tried a cigarette or two. That's a little different than sneaking out and ending up at the Playboy Mansion.

[murielm99]

34. Sometimes you people make my head hurt.

I am not blaming the victim. No one, fifteen or older, should be raped.

I was trying to say that kids can get in over their heads without realizing what can happen. Cosby was a celebrity who had a good reputation. Everyone perceived him as being good with kids. Kids trusted him. They would go with him, yes, even to the Playboy Mansion, and expect that they would not be harmed.

[Frank Cannon]

23. With adult strangers to pornographers' houses?

No. No, I never did. I guess I had a misspent youth.

[arikara]

8. Good grief.

Stuff I did at that age behind my loving parent's back I would never want them blamed for. Kids try things and experiment and some evil adults take advantage of it. The perpetrators are the ones who need charges.

[pnwmom]

12. Blaming-the-victim's-parents is a form of victim blaming.

At least the way you're doing it.

They shouldn't be brought up on charges simply because they let their 15 year old go to a park with her 16 year old friend, and spend the day with her. This was the pre-cell phone era, remember? Parents didn't keep the same kind of tabs on their kids that they do now.

We don't even know the parents knew about Bill Cosby. But if they did, they probably would have trusted him. He fooled millions of people.

[Liberal_in_LA]

9. late 60s, probably easier for a teen to at a venue such as playboy mansion

[Mojorabbit]

35. Yes, it was a different time. nt

[freeplessinseattle]

20. Also Cosby's fault

"Huth claims she and a female friend met and chatted with Cosby on the set of a movie they saw was being filmed in a suburban Los Angeles park, and that he invited them to his tennis club the following Saturday.

The suit also says the girls told Cosby they were 15- and 16-years-old when he asked their ages.

Arriving at the tennis club days later, the two girls played a drinking game with Cosby at his suggestion, and he then led them to the Playboy Mansion after they "had been served multiple alcoholic beverages."

[Rhinodawg]

22. WOW

just wow.

[mackerel]

30. Snap! I was thinking the same thing. LOL

(I know it's not the issue but 15? Where was this girls parents? We have to protect our children from rapists)

[WhiteTara]

32. good question, and actually that does

make it worse. A child in a strange world and then raped for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

[951-Riverside]

2. How did Cosby a black man get away with raping so many white women back then?

That alone makes me wonder.

[avaistheone1]

6. He got away with it because Cosby was a huge, wealthy star. He was part of the Hollywood elite and

he was Hefner's best friend. And Cosby had staff that covered his tracks for him.

[XemaSab]

29. This plus the fact that date rape wasn't considered "real" rape and the victim was often blamed

If you were raped in 1980 and you were a woman who:

Had consensual sex with many partners including Cosby
Drank and did a lot of drugs
Dressed in sexy clothes
Went to his house
Went to the Playboy Mansion
Didn't put up a fight
Didn't remember what had happened
Were accusing a rich and powerful man

Who would take you seriously?

Even today, a lot of women don't report being raped because they don't want to be the ones on trial, and who could blame them?

[blackbart99]

33. If I were a woman who was raped....

I would not report it...I would get some friends together and kick some ass.

[Botany]

10. As a kid and a teenager two of my heros were Bill Cosby and Joe Paterno

Cosby should have been given a life sentence many years ago. What a human turd.

[candelista]

11. Why would anyone want to have sex with an unconscious person?

I mean, they're unconscious. They don't even move. It's weird. And he did it over and over.

Well, some people like to have sex with corpses, too. I wonder if old Bill ever got any of that action.

Nothing would surprise me at this point.

[kwassa]

13. I never understood this part of the story, either.

If Cosby simply wanted to cheat, considering his level of fame, I'm sure that he could have found willing participants fairly easily.

Instead, sex with unconscious women.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

18. I agree

I don't think he'd have any problem attracting willing partners. At the very least he could afford to buy what he wanted too.........

[NYC Liberal]

31. Because rape isn't about having sex. It's an act of violence, with the weapon being

sex.

If all rapists wanted was sex, they'd hire a prostitute.

[candelista]

37. Violence against an unconscious person doesn't sound like much fun to me.

I mean, they don't scream or show pain or anything. They just lie there, unconscious.

So I still don't get it.

[NYC Liberal]

38. It's not about having fun...

[candelista]

40. You wouldn't know an irony if it came up and bit you on the hand.

[jtuck004]

14. Is the Playboy mansion still providing 15 year old girls to rape? n/t

[Derek V]

16. I'm still having trouble believing this

I don;t know, maybe I'm in denial: I've been a huge fan of Cosby for decades, even before The Cosby Show debuted on TV 30 years ago. I've also been an admirer of his stance on racial issues, whether he's talking to whites or blacks.

Maybe I just don't want to lose another icon. (I loved Joan Rivers, too, until she got hateful.)

[Blue_Tires]

17. Hefner has to get questioned on this sooner or later, right?

[Baclava]

24. I remember watching Playboy After Dark with Hef and Barbi Benton - on a B&W tee-vee

He knows everything

[sabbat hunter]

27. are any of these crimes

still within the statute of limitations? Because it would really suck if the clock has run out on all the crimes, and he won't stand trial for any of them.

While I am DEFINITELY not blaming the victim, because being molested is only the criminal's fault, who thought it was a good idea to bring a child to the playboy mansion. Regardless of the molestation (which is a horror), is it really a place that a child should be at?

To re-iterate, it is no more that girl's fault than any of the other women Cosby raped and molested.

[Atman]

36. I went to school with a centerfold; she tells me Cosby accosted her, too.

Unsuccessfully. She was actually one of the finalists for the 25th Anniversary Playmate. She posted on a local FB group for our town that Cosby tried to get her upstairs when she was at the Playboy Mansion. She was 19 or 20 at the time. She managed to ditch the pudding man, and says she has no desire to join the others and pursue any charges against him.

Contrary to the popular image of Playboy models, she never went on to do bad b-movies or autograph tours or stripping...she's now a lawyer.
