One of the woman who accused him, Joan Tarshis, said that he sexually harassed her in 1969, when she was 19 years old and working as a comedy writer. According to her accusations he invited her to his apartment to practice monologue together, after she drank the drink that he prepared she found herself naked on his couch without any power over her body. She said that he used force and that the only thing she could do is to wait everything to be over. Second alleged victim, Andrea Constand, said that Cosby drugged and raped her in 2004. Total number of accusers is 57. As stated in the article under the tittle The Cosby show published in 2014 by The Atlantic, most of these allegations came after Constand sued Cosby in civil court. Her lawyers tracked down several accusers, some of whom wanted to use their names, and some of whom didn't. Perhaps all of these women are lying. Certainly, false criminal allegations happen.

We live in a society that haven’t showed much understanding for the woman who talked openly about bad experience and discrimination they faced in the work environment, therefor I think that exposing this case and reporting daily about cases like this is a primary job of any serious newspaper or informational site. Considering that this case is not typical job discrimination case that took place, for example at the grocery store, between a manager and his or her employee, I can only say that some of the actions I would take are actively researching and reporting about this case, meaning, I would interview potential victims and try to determine their credibility. Also, I would constantly keep this news alive and active, I would educate the employees in my company how important is to report any kind of abasement and I would try to build a healthy environment where everyone would feel safe and free to speak about their problems. If I am an HR of a company and my worker is asking me for a help because his or her boss drugged and sexually abused him or her I would immediately call the police, after, according to the case I would decide which employee would be first suspended then fired. I would provide psychiatrist, or any kind of medical help needed for the damaged party. For all other employees in the company
