Frank Scotti, a 90-year-old ex-NBC employee, is the latest to go public with stories of Bill Cosby’s past.

Scotti, who worked as a facilities manager for the Brooklyn NBC Studio where “Cosby Show” was filmed, told the New York Daily News that he arranged for monthly payments and more for eight women during “The Cosby Show’s” run from 1984-1992. He claimed some women would receive as much as $2,000 at a time.

“He had everybody fooled,” Scotti said to the Daily News. “Nobody suspected.”

Scotti provided copies of money orders to four women to the Daily News and said Cosby asked him to put his own name on them.

“He was covering himself by having my name on it,” he said. “It was a coverup. I realized it later.”

One woman, Shawn Thompson, reportedly received more than $100,000 after their alleged affair started in 1974. Thompson’s daughter, Autumn Jackson, has claimed Cosby is her father, which Cosby has denied.

One woman whose name is on the receipts reached out to the Daily News and said the payments funded her son’s private school tuition. Scotti is confident that he was sexually involved with the women receiving payments, and came forward now because he “felt sorry for the women.”

“Why else would he be sending money?” Scotti asked. “He was sending these women $2,000 a month. What else could I think?”

The story also includes a quote from Cosby’s attorney Martin Singer denying Scotti’s allegations.

“What evidence does he have of Mr. Cosby’s involvement?” Singer said. “How would Scotti know if a woman was a model or a secretary? It appears that his story is pure speculation so that he can get his 15 minutes of fame.”

NBC declined comment on the story.

Cosby now has claims against him from at least 15 women with varying charges of sexual assault. Since the allegations resurfaced, NBC has pulled a project with him, Netflix postponed a stand-up special it was going to stream and TV Land has stopped airing re-runs of “The Cosby Show.” (Old Cosby will spend the rest of life in a civil court and, may end up in a prison cell.)

Be warned, you are going to piss off the Texas fag aka (Ho Daddy).

Court?  He hasnt even been charged with anything yet.

[ttopcat]

I didn't say he was in court at this time but he will end up in civil court if the these woman decide to take him to civil court.

[pacifica]

This article sounds like these women were voluntary paid whores and Cosby the paying customer.

[Byteryder]

They were aspiring wannabes that were systematically sleeping their way up the ladder.

I doubt any of them can come up with any kind of material evidence to even support a civil action.

[ttopcat]

These woman are claiming he sexually assaulted them using drugs and alcohol. I'm not saying he did but there is a slew of woman making some serious allegations against him. Unless some the cases are with in the statute of limitations he probably won't face any criminal charges, sexual assault charges can brought in some states until a person reaches the age of 35. If perchance he assaulted someone in the last several years he may face criminal charges, usually a sexual predator don't change his spots over time. I guess it will play out over next several months.

He has about 15 woman saying he sexually assaulted them that is more than enough evidence to make a civil claim.

[Byteryder]

I dare say that if every woman who ever regretted spreading her legs while under the influence of drugs or booze decide to hollar RAPE, the Courts would be busy for the next 5000 years.

Wake up people.  Cosby will never see the inside of a courtroom.  Ever hear of the "Statutes of Limitations".

I knew you come along sooner or later Dick!
