Heidi says she was drugged and raped by Cosby when she was 24-years-old.

Heidi Thomas says after 31 years she has put it all behind her. But, the Castle Rock resident does believe that the latest development about comedian Bill Cosby and allegations of sexual assault are a long time coming.

“In one word: finally,” Thomas said.

The Associated Press tried for years to unseal a deposition Cosby gave in a 2005 civil lawsuit filed against him by an employee of Temple University. The employee accused him of sexually assaulting her. In the deposition, Cosby admits under sworn testimony that he obtained prescriptions of Quaaludes for the purpose of giving them to women for sex.

“There are many women who have been badly, badly damaged by that man,” Thomas said.

In 1984, Thomas, then known as Heidi Johnson, was an aspiring actress and model living in Littleton. She says her agency contacted her stating that Cosby wanted to give her private coaching sessions to help her with acting.

“I was expecting to do a monologue and then receive coaching the way you would from a director,” Thomas said.

The famous Black clown thought his celebrity status would allow him to get away with behaving like he was back in Africa.

The then 24-year-old flew to Reno, Nevada where Cosby was performing and met him at a ranch house where he was alone. Thomas said he wanted her to read a script where she depicted an intoxicated woman. She says he did not like her initial reading.

“He said, ‘have you ever been drunk?’ And I said, ‘no, I really haven’t,'” Thomas said.

Thomas says that’s when he poured her a glass of white wine.

“I took a sip and I don’t remember anything until things get very graphic,” Thomas said.
