Did Bill Cosby pay off women?

Frank Scotti says he made regular payments to eight women in the 1980s

A women who claims to be one of the 12 "Jane Does" who testified in a 2005 civil rape case against comedian Bill Cosby came forward for the first time Tuesday.

In an interview with the New York Post, Donna Motsinger, 73, said she feels like a "coward" for not telling her story.

"I feel guilty not telling my story," Motsinger, known as Jane Doe No. 8 in the suit. "I'm a coward over here. Those women are brave. It's the least I can do. I want to tell people so [the victims] can't be bullied, so they can't be discredited."

Motsinger said Cosby drugged and raped her when she worked as a waitress at a jazz club in California in 1971.

The 2005 suit was filed by former Temple University athletics director Andrea Constand who settled out of court in 2006.
