Bill Cosby is finally serving time in prison after years of drugging and sexually assaulting women — and it’s vindication for the alleged victim whose own daughter was jailed by the comic! Shawn Upshaw told The National ENQUIRER in 2005 that Cosby had also drugged her, saying: “One night, I went to see him at the Beverly Hills mansion he was renting during the filming of the movie ‘Uptown Saturday Night.’ He fixed me a drink that looked strange to me…I didn’t want to drink it, but he kept telling me to finish it, and I did. I knew definitely that I had been heavily drugged…”

"I was completely disoriented and feeling faint," Shawn continued. "Finally, he took me to the bedroom and put me to bed. That's the last I remember of the night, but I woke up in the morning knowing I'd had sex during my sleep. It seems
that Bill has the same drill he pulls on women."

Cosby would later confess to an affair with Shawn
(now known as Shawn Brown) — after prosecutors took her 22-year-old daughter to court in an explosive 1997 "love child" case. Autumn Jackson was convicted of trying to extort $24 million from
the hypocritical comic after threatening to go public with her claim that Cosby was her father.

During the case,
Cosby said he didn't believe he was Autumn's father — but admitted he'd paid at least $ 100,000 toward her upkeep. Autumn was sentenced to 26 months in prison for extortion. In 1999, an appeals court overturned the verdict, but later that year reinstated the verdict. Autumn would refuse to participate in a paternity test.

Cosby's attorneys at the time dismissed Shawn's claim of being drugged as "complete nonsense." They noted that Shawn hadn't made similar claims in 1997, when her daughter was in the media spotlight. "When I was involved with Bill," Shawn said, "he threatened me and warned me that he'd never forgive me if I ruined his reputation."

Autumn survived her prison sentence, and reportedly now works as a designer. Her mother remains one of Cosby's forgotten victims. "It's a scary, scary thing to speak out about such a wealthy, powerful man," she told The ENQUIRER in 2005, adding:
"Bill has two sides to him: One is very loving and kind. The other is controlling and manipulative!"
