Accuser to Cosby at His Sex Assault Trial: ‘You Remember, Don’t You?’

She wet her hair to pose for modeling shots at Mr. Cosby’s request. Then he offered her what he said was an antihistamine to help her cold, and some almond liqueur. She took both, Ms. Lasha told a courtroom on Wednesday, because “I trusted him.”

Then, she said: “He laid me on the bed; I could not move any more after that. He kept pinching my breast and humping my leg. Waking up, I was naked.”

She said she heard him grunting, and with that, she imitated from the stand the sounds she said Mr. Cosby had made.

And when it was over, Ms. Lasha said, Mr. Cosby told her, “Daddy said wake up,” before pushing her out the door.

The courtroom at Bill Cosby’s sexual assault retrial was silent as Ms. Lasha provided her account, sometimes struggling to keep her composure. Then she looked across at the 80-year-old entertainer sitting at the defense table and called out: “You remember, don’t you, Mr. Cosby?”

The confrontation inside the Montgomery County Courthouse drew an immediate objection from lawyers for Mr. Cosby, who requested a mistrial. But Judge Steven T. O’Neill denied their request.

Ms. Lasha was the second of five accusers prosecutors are calling to testify at Mr. Cosby’s trial on charges that he drugged and sexually assaulted Andrea Constand, a former Temple University employee, at his home near here in 2004.
