The problems for Bill Cosby does not seem to end as two more women have come forward to accuse the veteran comedian of drugging and sexually assaulting them decades ago.

Sunni Welles and Margie Shapiro are the latest one to accuse the 77-year-old comedian of sexual assault, reading statements alongside celebrity attorney Gloria Allred, the New York Post reported.

Welles, who sobbed during her statement, asserted that she was a 17-year-old aspiring singer at the time of her encounter with Cosby and she buried it in her memory until all of these brave women began to come forward.

Shapiro said that was 19-year-old and worked at a donut shop in Santa Monica, California, in November 1975 when she met Cosby, who drove her to his place, where she took a box of matches with his name on it as a souvenir.

 

Allred, who represents several accusers, said Cosby "appears to be treating the allegations of so many women who have spoken out previously as a joke."

Cosby is set to perform concert shows in Baltimore and Saturday in Charleston, West Virginia.
