In a powerful new special airing Friday at 9pm\/8c on NBC\u2019s Dateline, NBC News National Correspondent Kate Snow sat down with nearly half of Cosby\u2019s alleged victims who have come forward publicly, ranging in age from 46 to 80, for an unprecedented conversation about their personal recollections of assault, betrayal, and emotional distress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">During the special hour, Cosby\u2019s accusers respond to questions and skepticism regarding their allegations, and the denial of their claims from Cosby and his legal team. Though their stories span five decades, many begin the same way, involving offers of mentorship from Cosby before they were allegedly drugged and mistreated by him. Cosby has never been charged with a crime and continues to maintain that he did not drug or sexually assault anyone. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">Snow also sat down separately with a small group of women known as \u201cJane Does,\u201d who came forward in 2005 and agreed to tell their stories of being sexually assaulted by Cosby under oath anonymously, although they did not get the chance. Additionally, Snow spoke with attorney Gloria Allred, who represents many of Cosby\u2019s accusers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">Dateline\u2019s \u201cThe Cosby Accusers Speak\u201d airs Friday, October 9 at 9pm\/8c on NBC.
