Bill Cosby's problem doesn't seem to end as another rape accuser has come forward to blame the actor for drugging and raping her on two occasions decades ago.

Accuser Joan Tarshis posted on a website that it took her about 20 years to admit this to anyone, the New York Post reported.

Tarshis said that but during those years as she grew into adulthood, she watched Cosby be praised by everyone from Presidents to Oprah to the Jello Corporation.

She continued that it all made her ill despite knowing first-hand that there was something "unbalanced" about the 77-year-old actor.

Tarshis added that she was 19-years-old in autumn of 1969 and Cosby seemed to take a liking to her, and so she was invited back a few times.

The accuser further statted that she was sickened by what was happening to her and shocked that this man she had idolized was now raping her.

Cosby has been besieged by accusations of multiple sexual assaults during his decades-long career that have resurfaced in the last couple of weeks.
