COSBY ADMITS FONDLING HIS
ACCUSER: But maintains encounter
was consensual.
Following Bill Cosby's voluntary meeting with investigators last week probing allegations of inappropriate fondling brought by a Canadian woman, both ABC News and Celebrity Justice have confirmed reports that the comedian has admitted to having sexual contact with his accuser, but it was entirely consensual.
We're told that Cosby, who has become a controversial figure lately due to his stern lectures on African American family values, characterized the sexual encounter as not intercourse, and that it involved primarily touching,reports CJ.
Sources also tell the show that the woman contacted Cosby months after the encounter asking him for tickets for her and her family to his performance at Casinorama, north of Toronto. According to CJ, Cosby obliged, leaving their tickets at the Will Call window.
As previously reported, the woman worked for the Temple University women's basketball team at the time of the incident. Her lawyers tell "CJ" that Cosby gave
the woman what she believed to be "herbal" pills of some sort and that she was "legally incapacitated" when she says Cosby fondled her at his mansion in suburban Philadelphia. According to CJ, Cosby's reps are denying that the comedian gave her any herbal pill.
The woman, who now lives in Pickering, Ontario, first went to Canadian police over two weeks ago. The case was subsequently referred to U.S. authorities. "CJ" has obtained a confidential police report stating that she went to a Philadelphia civil lawyer before contacting police -- which CJ says raises the question, is the allegation about justice or money?
