Cosby Accuser Speaks About Abuse She Says Happened In Colorado
DENVER (CBS4) - Bill Cosby has been facing allegations by numerous women who claim the comedian drugged and sexually assaulted them, and one of them is a Denver native.
Joined by women's rights attorney Gloria Allred, Beth Ferrier spoke out in Denver on Saturday at a planned news conference near the location where Cosby performed two shows.

"He offered me coffee. Next thing I remember? Pitch black. 3 in the morning. I'm all alone in the back of my car practically naked," Ferrier said, speaking of an incident in which she says she was drugged.
The incident allegedly happened in the 1980s when Ferrier says she and Cosby were in a relationship that lasted approximately a year.

Ferrier first spoke out against Cosby nearly 10 years ago, but in recent months many other woman have publicly revealed similar complaints about Cosby -- some also represented by Allred -- that stretch back several decades. Cosby has never been charged with sexual assault.
Ferrier claims the relationship she had with Cosby wasn't by choice.
"He chose me and he refused to let go of me until he drugged me here in Denver, Colorado, in 1986," Ferrier said.
The performances in Denver this weekend were Cosby's first in the United States since the scandal against him erupted late last year.
People Magazine reported that on the Buell Theatre stage Saturday night Cosby didn't make any mention of the protests against him taking place outside or the scandal surrounding him.
