NBC'S "DATELINE" EXCLUSIVE: FOR THE FIRST TIME 27 BILL COSBY ACCUSERS SPEAK OUT TOGETHER IN NEW SPECIAL AIRING FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9

Kate Snow Sits Down with Nearly Half of Bill Cosby's Alleged Victims in One Location, At the Same Time, for Their First-Ever Joint Interview

"The Cosby Accusers Speak" Airs on NBC's Dateline Friday, October 9 at 9pm/8c

NEW YORK - October 6, 2015 - For the first time, 27 of Bill Cosby's accusers joined together in the same room for an exclusive group interview to share their harrowing - and many strikingly similar - stories. In a powerful new special airing Friday at 9pm/8c on NBC's Dateline, NBC News National Correspondent Kate Snow sat down with nearly half of Cosby's alleged victims who have come forward publicly, ranging in age from 46 to 80, for an unprecedented conversation about their personal recollections of assault, betrayal, and emotional distress.

During the special hour, Cosby's accusers respond to questions and skepticism regarding their allegations, and the denial of their claims from Cosby and his legal team. Though their stories span five decades, many begin the same way, involving offers of mentorship from Cosby before they were allegedly drugged and mistreated by him. Cosby has never been charged with a crime and continues to maintain that he did not drug or sexually assault anyone.

Snow also sat down separately with a small group of women known as "Jane Does," who came forward in 2005 and agreed to tell their stories of being sexually assaulted by Cosby under oath anonymously, although they did not get the chance. Additionally, Snow spoke with attorney Gloria Allred, who represents many of Cosby's accusers.

Dateline's "The Cosby Accusers Speak" airs Friday, October 9 at 9pm/8c on NBC. Excerpts from "The Cosby Accusers Speak" follow. If used, mandatory credit NBC's Dateline with air date. More details of each woman's story will be available after it airs at: www.nbcnews.com/dateline.

BEVERLY JOHNSON: This body of women are moving the needle. Not much. But we're still moving it // And that's the power we all feel.

###

EDEN TIRL: It's insane that people actually think that any of us would've got - come together to bring down some celebrity whose celebrity has already started to fade long before we came forward. We came forward to say we're using our voices to say this isn't ok.

###

LISE-LOTTE LUBLIN: This is the safest, most accepted, group of women that we can talk to. There's nothing greater than that, and more healing, than to just walk up to them and be accepted immediately. And for me, it's powerful and it's beautiful, and I'm so glad that I have it.

###

SUNNI WELLES: I believe it's healing and it's cathartic to be able to talk to each other. To look around and be together.

###

CINDRA LADD: I think for me, if I feel like I can be of service to another generation -- by standing up and showing how important it is for everyone to stand up and tell the truth, and that it's ok, and look what we've created here.

###

LINDA KIRKPATRICK: Us all coming together here is gonna make a difference for so many people to keep the conversation going.
