Another woman has come forward to file a civil suit against Bill Cosby, alleging that he drugged and raped her in the 1970s after inviting her to his comedy show.
Donna Motsinger, who now lives in New Mexico, filed the complaint in Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday, saying she met the comedian in 1972, when she was a waitress at The Trident, a popular Sausalito restaurant and celebrity hangout.
Cosby would come by every day, hanging out to chat with Motsinger, who was 31 at the time, according to court papers.
In an attempt to “lure and groom” her for future sexual assault 50 years ago, Cosby – who was “adored” for his celebrity status – once asked her if he could call her son from a pay phone, according to the suit.
Cosby followed him home after one of his shifts and invited him to his comedy show at the Circle Theater that night, where he filmed “In the Mind of Bill Cosby,” according to court documents.
He picked her up in a limousine that night and offered her wine on the way to the show, the suit alleges.
At the theater, he took her to a dressing room where she began to feel sick, and he offered her what he believed to be aspirin, according to court documents.

“The next thing she knew, she was going in and out of consciousness while the two men taking care of Mr. Cosby were putting her in the limousine with Mr. Cosby,” the suit continued.
“In the limousine, Mr. Cosby sat near the window and hugged her. The last thing Ms. Motsinger remembers is a flash of light. She woke up in her house with all her clothes on, except her underwear — no top, no bra, and no pants,” she claims in the suit.
The suit, which seeks unspecified damages, also seeks to hold Cosby’s production company, Jemmin, Inc., liable for the alleged assault, as well as the Circle Star Theater, for “failing to ensure the safety of its guests in the hands of its performers,” and not intervened because of Cosby’s fame.
Motsinger came forward in 2014 as one of 12 “Jane Does” who testified against Cosby during the 2005 civil rape case against Cosby.

The 86-year-old former “Cosby Show” star has been accused of rape, sexual assault and sexual harassment by more than 60 women.
He served three years of a ten-year sentence in a state prison near Philadelphia before a higher court overturned the conviction and freed him in 2021.
He has denied all allegations involving sex crimes.
Cosby’s team could not immediately be reached for comment.
