Cosby Accuser: I Woke Up in a Bed with Him in the 60s

Kristina Ruehli says her vomiting may have prevented Cosby from raping her

CAMEROTA (voice-over): “Seventy-one-year-old Kristina Ruehli says her encounter with comedian Bill Cosby took place in 1965 when she was 22 years old, making hers the earliest known alleged case. She was working as a secretary at a talent agency when she says Cosby invited her and several co-workers to a party at his house. 
You get to the party, or the beginning of what you think will be a party. And he prepares a cocktail for you.”
RUEHLI: “Yes. Bourbon and 7, that was sort of the standard thing for me to drink at that time.”
CAMEROTA: “You have two drinks.”
RUEHLI: “I had two drinks that I’m clear about.” 
CAMEROTA: “And then what happened?”
RUEHLI: “I don’t remember a thing. It went blank. When you’re in that kind of a foggy state, you don’t think of anything, but that you had drunk too much. So I must have passed out again, because when I awakened again, I found myself on a bed.”
CAMEROTA: “And then what happened?”
RUEHLI: “He was there, he had his shirt off, and I believe he had his pants off. It’s pretty groggy. And he had his hand on the back of my head.”
CAMEROTA (voice-over): “She says he then tried to force her to perform oral sex.”
RUEHLI: “And so, I lifted my head away, I think it surprised him. I lifted my head away, and pulled myself away immediately. And I went into the bathroom, and I threw up, and I know I threw up a couple of times. When I finished, I came out and he was gone.”
