Cosby Accuser’s Mom Reaches Out to Camille Cosby

Jennifer Thompson has come forward with claims that she was sexually assaulted by Bill Cosby 20 years ago when she was just 17 years old. Today, her mother Judy Thomson is reaching out to Cosby’s wife for retribution. “Your husband crossed boundaries that never should have been breached,” she wrote in a letter to Camille Cosby. “He shattered her innocence. May you and Bill speak the truth and be afforded peace for your souls.” Neither of the Cosby’s have acknowledged whether they received the letter. [Yahoo! News]

He released a statement immediately following the incident calling the fraternity “disgraceful” and effectively severing ties with the entire organization. [Huffington Post]
