Fla. woman says Cosby raped her

 
Everett, Wash. Glacial rock sits in a hard place Workers digging an underground garage for a new hotel recently struck something big about 30 feet below the surface. This giant rock that was left behind by a glacier maybe 18,000 years ago is bigger than an SUV, weighing an estimated 150 tons or 300,000 pounds. The rock is close to 19 feet long and 10 feet wide, the Daily Herald reported.

A Florida woman who came forward Thursday became the fourth in recent weeks to say Bill Cosby gave her pills that made her feel groggy then forced himself on her sexually. Therese Serignese, now 57 and a nurse in Boca Raton, said the television icon raped her in 1976 when she was 19 years old after a show in Las Vegas. She said she went backstage and when the two were alone, Cosby gave her two pills and a glass of water, saying, "Take these." "My next memory is clearly feeling drugged, being without my clothes, standing up," she said. "Bill Cosby was behind me, having sex with me." Cosby spokesman David Brokaw did not respond to a request for comment.
