The 13 women who could testify to Cosby's 'signature' acts
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Did Bill Cosby drug and molest young women as part of a "signature" crime spree spanning five decades?
Cosby's defense insists the women's memories are tainted at best and will ask a suburban Philadelphia judge to keep them off the witness stand at the June trial.
The accounts below, listed chronologically, note ages for each woman and Cosby at the time, as described by prosecutors.
Constand, a Temple University basketball team manager, said he gave her three unlabeled blue pills to "relax" as she discussed a career change.
Cosby, a high-profile Temple booster and trustee, is charged with sexually assaulting a person unable to give consent, a felony that could bring 10 years in prison upon conviction.
After being friends for several months, she said, he offered her Champagne at the Drake Hotel in Chicago, which left her unable to ward off his sexual advances before she passed out.
The defense says Cosby's companion on the flight, a potential witness, has died and the woman kept a sweatshirt she wore during their encounter "like a treasured souvenir."
Ladd, a model-turned-Hollywood executive married to former MGM chairman Alan Ladd Jr., met Cosby in 1969 when he offered career advice.
Motsinger was a waitress at the Trident restaurant in Sausalito, California, a favorite of Cosby's.
The defense says the restaurant was "a notorious drug mecca" and Motsinger dated a founder of an LSD-linked band of hippies.
The defense says the doughnut shop has closed and the boss died, leaving it unable to thoroughly investigate her account.
Cosby, in a 2006 deposition in Constand's lawsuit, testified that he gave Serignese quaaludes before a consensual sexual encounter.
The defense says "her story about their lengthy 20-year relationship after the incident (many would call it an affair) has changed drastically over the years."
The defense says her account is unique among Cosby accusers because they were at a party, surrounded by numerous people, when she took the drink.
Baker-Kinney, then a Harrah's bartender in Reno, Nevada, went to a pizza party at a nearby home where Cosby was staying in 1982.
The defense says her story is "nothing like Ms. Constand's" because she only met Cosby once, "voluntarily" took quaaludes and apologized for passing out.
Thomas' agent sent the aspiring actress to meet Cosby for career advice at a Harrah's hotel in Reno in 1984, but the limousine he sent instead took her to a private house where she said he gave her a drink so she could play the intoxicated person in a script he gave her.
During intermittent bouts of consciousness, she said, she was naked and Cosby forced her to perform oral sex.
Neal worked as a masseuse at a Las Vegas health club where Cosby played tennis in the mid-1980s.
The witness, who agreed to be photographed but not share her identity in the media, worked for one of Cosby's agents and had known the entertainer for six years when he invited her to lunch at his bungalow at the Bel Air Hotel in 1996 to discuss her acting ambitions.
