Cosby Derangement Syndrome As a woman, I find the idea of rape horrifying, but Therese Serignese coming forward as one of Bill Cosby's victims after 38 years, is mystifying. Why would anyone have a thirty year relationship with a rapist? Why would they go back time and time again? It doesn't make any sense! In 1976 Serignese takes two white pills from Cosby backstage without question, allegedly gets raped, 19 and an adult.
