Barbara Bowman Alleges Bill Cosby Raped Her In Her Teens

The journal kept by Barbara Bowman in 1990 contains stories of Cosby's alleged abuse.

Barbara Bowman, a former actress, told the Mail Online that Bill Cosby, who played loveable patriarch Dr. Huxtable in the hit comedy The Cosby Show, manipulated her into believing he was a father figure before drugging and raping her on more than one occasion.

"I was drugged and raped by that man," she told the newspaper. "He is a monster. He came at me like a monster. My hope is that others who have experienced sexual abuse will not be intimidated into silence by the famous, rich and powerful. If I can help one victim, then I've done my job."
