A woman who claims she was one of the 12 “Jane Does” to testify against Bill Cosby in a 2005 civil rape case came forward Tuesday for the first time in an interview with The Post.
Donna Motsinger, 73, known as Jane Doe No. 8 in the suit filed by former Temple University athletics director Andrea Constand, said she’s now speaking up about being drugged and raped 43 years ago because she feels like a “coward” for not sharing her story.
“I feel guilty not telling my story,” Motsinger said from her home in Taos, NM. “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.”
Constand settled out of court in 2006.
Motsinger said Cosby drugged and raped her in 1971 when she worked as a waitress at a jazz club in Sausalito, Calif. Cosby’s rep did not return a request for comment.
