More Cosby Claims: New Accuser Secretly Told Cops About Unwanted ‘Sexual Contact’ With Bill

More than twelve years after The Cosby Show went off the air, series creator Bill Cosby is in the headlines once again, as multiple women step forward to accuse him of perpetrating sexual assault against them in the past. But RadarOnline.com has learned that one of the only women ever to pursue police action against the controversial comedian has remained silent for years — after the New York District Attorney declined to prosecute the case against the star!

Only Radar has obtained the shocking police report from the night he allegedly subjected her to “sexual contact” in his Manhattan apartment.

Lachele Covington was just 20 years old – a bit player on The Cosby Show – when the series creator invited her to dinner in his Manhattan townhouse on January 28, 2000.

Though he’d allegedly said the meeting would be business-related, she claimed it quickly turned personal.

Cosby “tried to seduce her in an intellectual manner and professional manner with his charm,” her dad, Joe Covington, alleged at the time. And according to high-level police insiders who spoke out at the time, he then tried to put her hands down his pants and exposed himself.

Covington filed a police report four days later alleging that she had been “subject to sexual contact.”

Even though the report did not name Cosby, Radar has learned that his name was only omitted to protect his celebrity status.

In addition, in a statement to Det. Jose McCallion of the Manhattan Special Victims Bureau, police insiders previously claimed she said she “had been invited by Cosby to his home for dinner. The victim said that after dinner Bill Cosby came over to her, and started touching her. He fondled her breasts. She was shocked and didn’t know what to do. Then he tries to put his hands down her pants.”

Cosby’s spokesman David Brokaw said, at the time, that while the two had had dinner, “He denies that anything inappropriate happened.”

What’s more, Cosby insisted: “It’s not true.”

But Covington’s father insisted she had not lied. “I’ll bet Bill Cosby could not stand in front of my daughter and say to her face she’s a liar,” he said in an interview with The National ENQUIRER. “My daughter does not lie. You can take what she says to the bank.”

Added her grandfather, Charles Keniebrew, “Bill Cosby scared her half to death!”

Cops referred her complaint to the D.A., but they declined to prosecute.

Covington has yet to speak out in this latest round of accusations.

Story developing.

He's first target, too, IMHO because when democrat fascists loose elections in a big way they make examples of more than one or two big names who weren't sufficiently supportive as a way to keep the lesser folks with skeletons in their closets from breaking ranks.

Sorry, but that's complete and total nonsense when you're talking about this current media frenzy about Bill Cosby and the many, many pre-2005 claims of drugging and sexually assaulting women.

The election didn't occur until November 4, 2014.

This frenzy started on the night of October 16, 2014 as the result of a joke told by comedian Hannibal Buress during a set at the Trocadero in Philadelphia, Cosby's home town.

Buress mentioned Cosby - whose early humor often mentioned his football days at Philly's Temple University - and said, in part:

“He gets on TV, ‘Pull your pants up black people, I was on TV in the 80s! I can talk down to you because I had a successful sitcom!’ Yeah, but you rape women, Bill Cosby, so turn the crazy down a couple notches.”

Some of Philadelphia's media took note of this the following morning; a video of Buress telling the joke was uploaded to YouTube [language; uploaded 10/20]; Buress appeared on Howard Stern on October 20 or 21; other media picked up the story and started to look at the "you rape women" part of the joke . . . and here we are, back in 2005, when anyone paying attention knew that thirteen women, black and white, were accusing Bill Cosby of essentially the same thing: drugging and sexually abusing them.

Cosby paid a settlement to at least one woman, and had been paying others of them for years.

Doesn't mean he did it, but had been paying some of the accusers, who had never gone public, and were only listed as John Doe witnesses in a lawsuit, for years. Years.

Does Cosby have any other history of paying women to cover up sexual indiscretions? Why, yes, according to Bill Cosby in sworn testimony in a legal action, he does.

Cosby thought that he and long-term mistress, Shawn Upshaw, had an illegitimate daughter, Autumn Jackson, in about 1974 (among many, many other sources).Cosby made payments for twenty-three years to keep this a secret [Source: Cosby's testimony - he testified under oath that he made the payments to keep the fact that he had an illegitimate daughter a secret].

This came to light only after 22- or 23-year old Ms. Jackson tried to extort Cosby for $24 million by threatening to go public with her paternity information. Cosby decided it was cheaper to come clean to the public. At that time, he demanded a DNA test which showed he was not the father of Autumn.

Ah, and Cosby did an interview with Ebony magazine in which he said that once he hit 40, his roaming eye for younger woman diminished, because he'd think about how much work it would be to make love to a young woman. He'd been married to his wife since 1964, and the marriage weathered infidelities (plural)

Did Cosby rape women? I don't know, but similar claims by more than a dozen women have dogged him for over thirty years.

Is all of this retribution for the 11/4 election results. No, no, and no. This started three weeks before the election.

Everybody and her sister reported on this before the 11/4 election and most of them mentioned the Harrison Burell joke. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 . . . there are over 100 examples of internet articles from 10/17 to before the 11/4 elections that drum up the Cosby rape claims based on Buress's jokes (language in some of them).

Cosby was canned from a Queen Latifah episode before the election specifically because of the controversy raised by Hannibal Buress.

Is all of this current attention to discredit a somewhat conservative Cosby? Perhaps, but it seems comedian Hannibal Buress could have found a more direct way to do that.

There’s no way the truth will ever come out on this, unless someone saved a semen stained dress. Cosby may be a serial rapist, or it may be that a bunch of women see an opportunity to hit the jackpot. Or maybe he’s being few blacks to question the rat plantation that has held targeted because he has said some things that might lead a them in bondage all these years (and yes I know he is no conservative, but he has laid the blame for blacks’ plight where it belongs - on themselves rather than Whitey). A lot of money and power are behind the racial grievance industry and the rats that support it, and anyone who will use the IRS and EPA for political gain will not hesitate to bring down a beloved elder slave, who might be fomenting rebellion, to protect their turf. Nobody they care about listens to Dr. Sowell or Larry Elder or others who routinely say these things, but Cosby is home folks and therefore must be silenced. God will sort it all out in the end.

“There have been allegations for decades.
This is not new.
It’s may be just that these women finally felt they could come forward without fear of retribution.......................”

I think he is both a serial sexual predator, and an accurate commentator on black cultural dysfunction.

Position of power and authority

Sexual predators are often very intelligent, and do their dirty manipulations instinctively; they can’t stop, until stopped.

And when caught, they deny, deny, even though guilty as hell.

I’ve only obsessed about one thing in my life and I promise you its not you or your brand of Freeper

And I still obsess ....My rib.....best trade God ever offered

I don’t mean this personal...I don’t know you...I think I’ve seen your moniker...I do know that in just 15 seconds I see your moniker is prolific...and then some on the internet

I was the first wardaddy period anywhere I ever saw and its nothing to do with tank commanding

I’m empathetic to even freepers I’ve never heard of if they are in need....and will help a stranger here

But frankly I only give serious concern to those I know....many off the forum...maybe 75 folks tops over my 14 years here...of whom 5-10 have died

If you place too much stock in run of mill Freeperdom you are bound to be disappointed

But even though I don’t know you I do hope you have good health and are loved

Too many serious people coming forward for these claims to not have merit. Even ballers don’t usually get this aggressive. How does his wise handle this, she must know deep down what is up.

2. Bill Clinton
3. Bill Cosby
4. Pee Wee Herman
5. Arnold

He did a TV Show about a Family. There were at least five many six women regulars on the show. What do they say about Bill, other than he was a horny old guy, but harmless.

I believe that Bill Cosby is a great man, a great entertainer, and an excellent advisor. I would choose him over Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson in a heart beat every time!

Cosby made a ton of money on a book with only his name on it that was written by someone else, just like Barack Obola did. Sure, he's better than Je$$e Jack$$on and Al $$harpton, but that's not saying much.
