At a press conference on Wednesday, L.A. attorney Gloria Allred, who is representing the accusers, demanded Cosby place $100 million in a fund for his alleged victims and allow a panel of retired judges to decide whether the women’s claims have merit or not. Allred – a civil-rights lawyer often in the headlines for cases involving women’s rights and celebrities – proposed that Cosby should waive the [statute of limitations](http://www.people.com/article/bill-cosby-face-rape-charges-sexual-assault) on sexual assault claims, which would permit the women to file lawsuits against the beleaguered comedian. “It could be advantageous for Mr. Cosby to give up the statute of limitations because there is a huge cloud on his reputation and legacy,” she said. Cosby’s attorney, Martin Singer, has blasted the [wave of new accusations](http://www.people.com/people/gallery/0,,20875626,00.html)against Cosby. “These brand new claims about alleged decades-old events are becoming increasingly ridiculous,” he said [in a statement](http://www.people.com/article/bill-cosby-rape-laywer-statement-martin-singer) on Nov. 21. Allred told reporters that she had been approached by a number of women who claimed that Cosby either drugged or sexually assaulted them. “Many of those alleged victims contacted me to determine if they had any legal rights that they could assert against Mr. Cosby,” she said. “Unfortunately, with a rare exception, I had to inform these women that it was too late for them to file a lawsuit against Mr. Cosby because of the statute of limitations.” “If Mr. Cosby believes all the women are being untruthful, then this is his opportunity to prove it,” she added. “What could be fairer than that?” In a statement provided by Allred, the three accusers all said they met Cosby in the ’70s or ’80s. Beth Ferrier, a Colorado native who [first spoke to PEOPLE](http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20059561,00.html) in 2006 when she supported a civil lawsuit filed by Andrea Constand against Cosby and [told PEOPLE last month](http://www.people.com/article/beth-ferrier-bill-cosby-sexual-assault-rape-accuser-lost-everything) she felt “there needs to be an outcry” over Cosby’s behavior, said she was an aspiring actress and model when she met Cosby through her then-agent in New York City in the mid-’80s and began an affair. After she broke up with him, he called her in Denver and invited her to one of his performances. While she was backstage, Ferrier alleges, Cosby spiked her cappuccino. “The next thing I knew, hours had passed, and I woke up in the back of my car alone. My clothes were a mess; my bra was undone. My car was in the alleyway behind the venue. I felt confused and disoriented. I had no idea what happened to me. The last memory I had was drinking Mr. Cosby’s coffee.” Ferrier said two security guards drove her home at Cosby’s request. That same night, Ferrier said she drove to Cosby’s hotel to confront him. “Mr. Cosby’s explanation for what happened was that ‘\[I\] had too much to drink.’ I did not believe him. I had not consumed any alcohol that night. I believe that Mr. Cosby drugged me in order to sexually assault me that night.” Ferrier said she told the _National Enquirer_ about her assault in 2005 and passed a lie detector test. However, she said, the paper didn’t publish her story and instead ran an exclusive interview with Cosby, who denied all the allegations. Helen Hayes said she met Cosby in 1973 while attending Clint Eastwood’s Celebrity Tennis Tournament in Pebble Beach, California. She said Cosby groped her right breast at a restaurant later that night. “I was stunned and angry because he had no right to do that and I did not know why he would behave that way,” she said. “His behavior was like that of a predator. The third alleged victim, identified only by a first name, Chelan, said she met Cosby in Las Vegas in 1986 when she was 17 and working at the Hilton as a bell dispatcher at the bell desk. Chelan alleged Cosby invited her to his suite so he could introduce her to someone from the Ford modeling agency. There, she said, he gave her a blue pill he said was an antihistamine with a double shot of Amaretto. Chelan said Cosby walked her to the bedroom and began sexually assaulting her. “I could not open my eyes. I couldn’t move or say anything. I felt something warm on my legs. Then I blacked out.” She said she woke up hours later to Cosby clapping his hands and saying, “Daddy says wake up.” He then gave her $1,500 to buy something nice for her and her grandmother, she said.

The second outlet within a day to put off or abandon a Cosby project after another sexual assault allegation against the comic emerged. [ LAUGH ] [ INAUDIBLE ] It is against that backdrop that the associated press is showing for the first time a new portion of an interview with Cosby. Taped on November sixth in Washington. The interview centered around an art exhibit. At the end of the interview, Cosby was asked about long circulated accusations of sexual assault, in recent criticism from comedian Hannibal Buress, this is that exchange. I didn't want to, I have to ask you about. Your name coming up in the news recently regarding this comedian. No, no, we don't answer that. Okay. I, I just wanted to ask if you wanted to respond at all about whether any of that was true. There's no response. Okay. Can I ask if? With the, the persona that people know about Bill Cosby should they believe anything differently about what- There's is no. Comment about that. Okay. And, and I'll tell you why. Okay. I think you were told. I, I don't want to compromise your integrity, but, we don't, I don't. Talk about it. As the interview wound down, Cosby then continued the conversation. The camera was still running and Cosby and his wife were wearing Lapel Microphones. Thank you very much. Thank you We appreciate your time. Thank you. Now, can I get something from you? What's that? That none of that will be shown. I. I can't promise that myself. You didn't say anything. I know I didn't say anything, but I'm asking your integrity that since I didn't want to say anything, but I did answer you, in terms of I don't want to say anything, of what value will it have? I don't think it will have Ma'am? What did you say? Sorry. What did you say? I don't think it has any [ INAUDIBLE ]. And I would appreciate it if it was scuttled. I hear you. I will tell that to my editors and I think that they will understand. Well I think if you want to consider yourself to be serious, then it will not appear anywhere. Okay, I appreciate what you've asked. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And we thought, by the way, because it was AP that it wouldn't be necessary to go over that question with you. And we have. I haven't written about this at all in the past two months, and, but they want, my boss had wanted me to ask. If you will just tell your boss that the reason why we didn't say that up front was because we thought of the, the AP had the integrity. To not ask - >> And, and, one other point on that the, the, one of the three major TV writers for the AP in Los Angeles called me up and - >> Right. And asked me, Lynn Elbert [ UNKNOWN ] - >> Right. We're, we're not addressing it. So she, she said fine then. He just closed it off. Okay. And I think you need to get on the phone with his person immediately. IPO? Okay. Okay, thank you. Since that AP interview, two women have come forward publicly to accuse him of sexual assault. As the allegations gained increasing attention, the AP went back through the full video and made the decision to publish Cosby's full reaction to questions about the claims. The interview was on record. The AP made no agreement to avoid questions about the allegations or to withhold publishing any of his comments at any time. David Krugs, the Associated Press.
