For the first time since accusations of rape were made against Bill Cosby, 35 of the reported 46 women total who allege that the 78-year-old comedian sexually assaulted them have united together to tell their stories.

New York Magazine photographed and interviewed each woman separately and notes that each of "their stories have remarkable similarities." 
Among the 35 women featured, is Barbara Bowman, who was introduced to Cosby by her agent when she was 17 in 1985. Over the next two years, she regularly met with Cosby, who she says drugged and raped her repeatedly.

"I felt like a prisoner; I felt I was kidnapped and hiding in plain sight," she tells the magazine. "I could have walked down any street of Manhattan at any time and said, 'I'm being raped and drugged by Bill Cosby,' but who the hell would have believed me? Nobody, nobody."
Cosby has never been charged with a crime and maintains his innocence. In a 2005 deposition from a sexual assault case, which was made public earlier this month, Cosby admitted under oath to obtaining Quaaludes to give to "young women" that he "wanted to have sex with."

In the same deposition, which took place over four days before the lawsuit was eventually settled in 2006, he had this to say of consent: "I think that I’m a pretty decent reader of people and their emotions in these romantic sexual things, whatever you want to call them."

Following the recently released deposition, Cosby's lawyers said the comedian "admitted to nothing more than being one of the many people who introduced Quaaludes into their consensual sex life in the 1970's."
