\nBill Cosby accusers gathered near the Pennsylvania courthouse where he was sentenced on Tuesday \u2014 hoping to finally close the chapter on their decades-old horror stories of abuse and torment.
For some, the punishment wasn\u2019t harsh enough. Three to 10 years in a state prison and a fine of $25,000.
But most of the women didn\u2019t care. Judgement day had finally come, and Cosby was heading to the slammer \u2014 now designated a \u201csexually violent predator.\u201d
\u201cI\u2019ve waited 32 years for this day, hoping my nightmares would go away,\u201d explained Chelan Lasha, who was allegedly drugged and raped by Cosby inside a Las Vegas hotel room when she was just 17.
\u201cI prayed every day that Mr. Cosby would go to prison and pay his dues,\u201d she said.
Joined by attorney Gloria Allred, Lasha and several other accusers \u2014 including Maud Lise-Lotte Lublin, who was allegedly assaulted during an improv lesson in 1989 \u2014 spoke about the trauma Cosby caused them over the years.
\u201cIt was nothing I could ever forget,\u201d said Sarita Butterfield, a former Playboy bunny who claims to have been abused at a Christmas party in 1977. \u201cToday I am free.\u201d
Many of the women thumbed their noses up at the notion that Cosby is too old to go to prison.
\u201cHe did not consider my age when he gave me a life sentence of bad memories,\u201d seethed Linda Kirkpatrick, who was also allegedly drugged and raped in the early 1980s.
\u201cDon\u2019t talk about being blind\u2026when you blinded me,\u201d she said.
Lublin ultimately hopes that Cosby uses his time behind bars to \u201cfind peace\u201d and \u201cmake amends.\u201d
\u201cShow God you have the human example to show remorse,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd remember, for Bill, you don\u2019t have very much time.\u201d<\/p>\n
