West Palm Beach Radio: WFTL Listener Accuses Cosby

Therese Serignese, a 58-year-old nurse from Boca Raton, Fla., told talk host Rich Stevens on WFTL 850 AM in West Palm Beach, she met Cosby 38 years ago when she was 19. She says she was headlining a show at the Las Vegas Hilton, where she met Cosby at the Hilton gift shop while looking at jewelry with her sister.

“Somebody came up to me and put their arm around my neck from the back and said: ‘Will you marry me?’” Serignese said. “And I turned around to see who it was, and it was Bill Cosby.”

Serignese claims she was escorted to the greenroom after the show by one of Cosby’s people. Once she and Cosby were alone, he pulled out two white pills and a glass of water, telling her to “take these.”

“The next memory I have, was, I was in a bathroom and I was kind of bending forward and he was behind me having sex with me,” she said. “I was just there, thinking ‘I’m on drugs, I’m drugged.’ I felt drugged and I was being raped and it was kind of surreal. My frame of mind was that it would be over soon and I could just get out of there.”

After the incident, Serignese said she felt she could not go to the police because she blamed herself.
