Barbara Bowman is one of dozens of women who claim to have been raped by comedian Bill Cosby. She has said that Cosby raped her in the 1980s while she was a 17-year-old aspiring actress. She said she was drugged by the comedian after accepting drinks and “would end up waking up half-naked, throwing up in his toilet with him holding my hair out of my face.”

She said that on one occasion Cosby tried to smother her and put his hands around her neck.
