Bill Cosby accusers to appear in TV special

Some of the women who came forward and accused Bill Cosby of having drugged and sexually assaulted them within the last several decades are set to appear in a TV show on Thursday evening.

The one-hour special, titled "Cosby: The Women Speak," is set to air on the A&E channel, Variety reported. It will include interviews with model Beverly Johnson, publicist Joan Tarshis and actress Louisa Moritz.

The 78-year-old comedian is currently facing a series of allegations but has not been charged. His lawyer have also denied wrongdoing on his part.

The first allegation against Bill came to light in 2005, when two women publicly accused the "Cosby Show" star of drugging and sexually assaulting them while they were unconscious.

One of the two women is Andrea Constand who filed a civil case against Bill. They have settled it out of court in November 2006.

BBC reported several women have come forward over the years, yet the allegations did not mainstream attention until last October when a recording of a live set from comedian Hannibal Buress surfaced online, in which he called Bill a rapist.

Judy Huth, who accused Bill of sexually abusing her when she was 15, has filed a civil legal case against him. The comedian is set to appear and will have to answer questions from her lawyer under oath on October 9, while she will give her deposition a week later.

The actor denied Judy's allegations of giving her alcohol and abusing her at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles in 1974. Even though the Los Angeles police have opened an investigation, Bill is not facing any criminal charges since the accusations made against him fall outside the statute of limitations.

Meanwhile, Bill recently asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit in which American International Group Inc. seeks to avoid paying for his defense against defamation claims. AIG had in June sued the veteran comedian in California and Massachusetts over homeowner's insurance policies it issued to him in those states, International Design Times informed.
