Bill Cosby Victim Andrea Constand Details Sexual Assault For First Time In 13 Years — Watch
May 31 2018, Updated 1:24 p.m. ET
Andrea Constand — Bill Cosby’s most well-known sexual assault victim — has spoken out about her horrific experience for the first time in 13 years.
In a tell-all interview with NBC for Dateline, Constand, 45, detailed the events of that fretful 2004 night, reiterating the claim that Cosby, 80, drugged her before shamelessly raping her.
“Three blue pills. And he put his hand out and I said, ‘What are those?’ And he said, ‘They'll help you relax,'" Constand remembered. "And I said, ‘Are they natural? Are they, like, a herbal remedy?’ And he said, ‘No, they're your friends. Just put them down.’”
“I trusted that they would maybe just help me feel a little more relaxed,” she said, added that she confided in the comedian before the abuse.
After a few minutes, the former Temple University employee began feeling weary and dazed. She started to slur her words and lost control of her body parts. It was then that Cosby assaulted her.
“My mind is saying, ‘Move your hands. Kick. Can you do anything? I don't want this. Why is this person doing this?’ And me not being able to react in any specific way,” she said. “So I was limp. I was a limp noodle.”
Constand said she doesn’t recall everything Cosby did or said to her, because she went in and out of consciousness as he raped her.
“I was crying out inside, in my throat, in my mind, for this to stop. And I couldn't do anything,” she remembered.
Constand told NBC that Cosby had the audacity to bring her breakfast the next morning. While she recalled the sexual abuse, she felt ashamed — like many victims do — so she went home to shower, cried, and then went off to work like nothing had happened.
Constand did not tell anyone about the alleged rape until a year later, when she came clean to her mother.
While Cosby paid Constand a $3.5 million settlement, he denied the sexual assault allegations until his final verdict, this April 26.
Now, Bill Cosby has been found guilty of all counts of aggravated sexual assault against Andrea Constand and faces up to 30 years in prison. He is currently under house arrest in his Pennsylvania mansion.
