LOS ANGELES, April 24 (UPI) — Three more women have stepped forward to accuse actor and comedian Bill Cosby of sexual assault.

Janice Baker Kinney, MarcellaTate, and Autumn Burns came forward during a press conference Thursday with attorney Gloria Allred.

Kinney was 24 in 1982 when she was a bartender at Harrah’s in Reno where Cosby was headlining. Cosby invited her to a party afterward and upon arriving realized she and her friend were the only ones invited.

Cosby offered her pills which she took. She then said her vision became blurred and she passed out while playing a game of backgammon. When she woke up, she was on the couch with her jeans unzipped and her blouse undone with Cosby’s hand underneath it.

She said she was in no condition to leave and was embarrassed, and she passed out.

She woke up in the bed the next morning naked next to Cosby.

“All this time, and for many, many years, I felt this was my fault,” she said. “I took the pills from him. I justified what he did by saying to myself that none of this would have happened if I had not accepted the pills from him. I never thought of it as rape.”

Marcella Tate visited the Playboy Mansion with Cosby when she accepted a drink from him and woke up with Cosby naked next to her.

“I never intended to be in that situation and would never have agreed to any sexual contact with Mr. Cosby, but because I was barely conscious and felt drugged, I was unable to do anything to get out of it,” Tate told reporters.

Burns said Cosby invited her to his suite in a Las Vegas hotel and offered her a scotch on the rocks. She last remembered Cosby sitting on the edge of the bed naked before being forced to perform oral sex, she said in a statement to Buzzfeed.
