A woman who claims Bill Cosby drugged and groped her during a vile sex attack in the 1970s says the TV star must confess to his dark past - and that she believes he has 'dozens of victims'.
In
yet another astonishing victim's account, retired attorney Tamara Green
today brands the comic legend a 'sexual predator' who, she claims,
groomed her for sex and has attacked dozens more women in the past.
Green
has spoken out after a string of fresh allegations of rape emerged
against aging Cosby, allegations his lawyer has fervently denied.
Speaking out: In an exclusive
interview with MailOnline, Tamara Green says 'Bill Crosby is twisted,
he's a sexual predator who attacked me and has done the same to dozens
of women that I know of.'
Come clean: Green was an aspiring
actress and model in her early 20s at the time of the attack and said
Cosby had aggressively 'groomed' her for sex by promising a chance of
fame
And
she piles more pressure on the 77-year-old star to come clean and
apologize to the many women whose lives she claims he's ruined.
In
an exclusive interview with MailOnline, Green said: 'Bill Crosby is
twisted, he's a sexual predator who attacked me and has done the same to
dozens of women that I know of.
'But he continues to refuse to acknowledge it, which is what angers me and the other women most.
'He
should come clean and apologize for what he has done. To admit that the
fame, the money and his own propaganda went to his head and he lost
control.'
Green,
66, who lives near San Diego, gave explicit details to MailOnline of
how Cosby allegedly drugged her with a powerful sedative in order to
attack her.
She
claims the star gave her two pills when she was sick with the flu,
pretended he wanted to care for her, offered to take her home, and once
there he stripped her naked, groped and kissed her before pleasuring
himself sexually as she screamed for help.
Describing
the horrifying experience she said: 'He took my clothes off, touched me
up and masturbated next to me. I was so stoned, I thought I was dying.
'I didn't know how far he was going to take it, he had drugged me, I thought he could do anything, I thought he could kill me.'
Green
was an aspiring actress and model in her early 20s at the time of the
attack and said Cosby had aggressively 'groomed' her for sex by
promising a chance of fame.
'He said he would help me in the business and get me auditions,' she said.

near San Diego, gave explicit details to MailOnline of how Cosby
allegedly drugged her with a powerful sedative in order to attack her.
Aspiring actress: Green, then in her early 20s, was working for Cosby to help him open a new club
'I was working for him I was going to help him open a new club.
'He
gave me his phone book and he said, "Call all my friends and get enough
donations so I have enough to open this private club on La Cienega in
Los Angeles."'
Green says she did that for a couple of days before falling ill with the flu.
'I
called Bill and I said to him, "I can't work, I have to go home I'm too
sick." And he said, "Come on over to the restaurant and have lunch and
I'll give you something to make you feel better."'
Green,
then in her early 20s, said she went to the restaurant in Los Angeles
called Figueroa which Cosby owned and found him at a table with several
friends.
'He was very nice to me, I sat with them and he gave me two pills, they were red and grey.
'I was really, really sick. He had been so nice and he said maybe these will make you feel better, so I took them voluntarily.
'I felt like a million bucks about 20 minutes later then slowly I began to feel queasy and slowly melted in to my salad.'
But as soon as she got home Green realized she had been drugged and became infuriated.
'I
couldn't control my body, I couldn't walk, I couldn't run, I couldn't
do anything. I picked up a table lamp off of my night stand and through
it at the window,' she said.
Barbara Bowman was 17 when she met
Cosby and she told her story to MailOnline. Cosby won her trust and
'drugged and raped' her over a two year period, she claims
Janice Dickinson says in 1982 the
actor gave her a pill with a glass of wine, causing her to blackout
andshe woke up the next morning 'with her pajamas off, in pain, and with
semen between her legs'
'He
was like, 'Let's take off your clothes and get you in to bed because
you're so sick and we need to take care of you, I'm helping you.'
'He put me in bed and then started taking his clothes off, I was like 'no, no, no'.
'He touched me up, kissed me and he was handling himself and I'm starting to scream.'
Green said she fought Cosby with every last ounce of her will.
'I'm
fighting because even if you get away with it and you don't kill me you
will have me on your a** for the rest of your natural life, I told him
at the time and that's what has happened.

'I
was making too much noise so he gets up and he leaves two $100 bills on
my table next to my door as he was leaving and that was the final
insult.'
She
claims the actor – who was 11 years her senior – had groomed her for
sex and liked to pick young girls who didn't have boyfriends or fathers
in the picture.
The pretty brunette, with film star looks, was single at the time and her father was living in Germany and her mother in Spain.
'I
was here in LA on my own. I was young and pretty. I was a beautiful
girl,' she recalled, flicking through her photo album of old modeling
shots.
'And
it was Bill who pursued me. I was far too cute to chase men, they
chased me,' she said, adding: 'I got a lot of attention so for some
older guy to come on to me was not a big surprise.
'But
when someone drugs you. That's when a man becomes your enemy, then he
overtakes you, makes you powerless and helpless and then hurts you and
intimidates you, then assaults and disparages and maligns you.'
Green said she considered reporting Cosby to police immediately after the incident.
But claims she felt intimidated by the actor's fame, power and influence in Los Angeles and feared she wouldn't be believed.
What's worse she says Cosby had his own mind games to play.
Joan Tarshis (left) and Andrea Constand have also come forward to claim they were victims of the comic
'My brother had cystic fibrosis and he was in the children's hospital in Los Angeles,' she recalls.
'The
very next day after he had attacked me Bill went to the hospital and
entertained the children and gave them all gifts, including my brother,
he was smart like that.
'So when I got to the hospital to visit my brother and my mother, my brother was beaming.
'And
the nurses that had got friendly with us were thrilled to bits cause
the great Bill Cosby had been there, the children were happy, my brother
was a hero.
'I
just went "oh Christ what do I do now". So I went to him and I told
him, I'm going to tell everyone I meet for the rest of my life what you
did to me.'
But
the storm of rape allegations against Cosby did not emerge until more
than 30 years later when another alleged victim Andrea Constand went to
authorities in Pennsylvania in 2005 but the district attorney refused to
file charges.

Memorial to Colored Soldiers and Sailors in Philadelphia
Cosby has never been charged with any crime relating to the allegations now swirling around him.
At the time Green decided to come out to help Constand after she was disgusted by Cosby's public denial.
Constand
subsequently filed a civil suit against him, and 13 other women –
including Green - with similar stories were added as supporting
witnesses.
Constand settled the lawsuit for an undisclosed amount in November 2006.
'There were 14 women altogether who were listed as Jane Doe in the lawsuit,' said Tamara.
'Many other victims flooded my house with flowers, sent me cards and letters, called me up.
'I
would say there were dozens of women. I personally know 14 and I know a
further six or eight who spoke to me on the telephone and told me they
were victims. Who knows how many more didn't have the courage to come
forward?'
Despite
the assault, Green went on to become a high-flying defense attorney in
California and has since retired to southern California.

But
she says that while she has managed to come to terms with what happened
all those years ago, it did leave her 'paranoid' over her safety and
security.
'I
still sleep in my clothes. Those are the affects. You check your
perimeter, you check your doors, I sleep with my clothes on, my shoes
near the bed and a gun in my night-stand.
'The
trauma of that assault never really goes away. It's as fresh in my mind
as it was the next day. And women all over the country live with that.'
Green says she now feels like an elder stateswoman of the sex attacks claims surrounding Cosby.
And she knows first hand the profound affect such an event can have on your life.
'Not only have we survived sexual assault we have survived the media and public opinion assault as well,' she said.
'I took so much heat when I came out against Bill, but I'd do the same again.'
Green says that Cosby knows he's no longer 'untouchable'.
'I
see a certain crest-fallen aspect to his position, I don't think he has
the testosterone left in him to take the onslaught,' she said.
'But the crux of the problem with the women that he has hurt, is that he has not been able to say sorry to them.
'All
he has to say is 'I am sorry for all the people I have hurt, I have
hurt my family, I have hurt others, I was overcome with my own ego, my
own propaganda and I believed it all.'
'If
he wants to be a great man instead of a small man he needs to embrace
his errors as well as his talents, because I do not dispute he's done
great things, I just think he's a hypocrite and a liar.'
On
Monday Cosby amended his blanket denial of the continued rape
allegations to clarify it did not include one of his many accusers.
The
new statement says Cosby's denials do not refer to accuser Andrea
Constand, whose civil lawsuit against him was settled in 2006.
Differences
between Cosby and Constand were 'resolved to the mutual satisfaction'
of both parties, according to the new statement, jointly issued by
lawyers for Cosby and Constand. Neither party intends to comment
further, it adds.
The
earlier statement, issued over the weekend, referred to 'decade-old,
discredited allegations' against Cosby, stating that 'the fact that they
are being repeated does not make them true.'
