Three more women came forward during a Wednesday press conference with attorney Gloria Allred in Los Angeles to add their stories of sexual abuse to the mounting claims against comedian Bill Cosby.

The Los Angeles Times reported on Wednesday the women were a former Mrs. America, a cocktail server at a jazz club Cosby regularly attended, and a woman who wanted his help in securing a Playboy magazine appearance.

More than 40 women have made accusations against Cosby, whose attorneys have maintained his innocence.

“Although it is too late for these three new accusers to take any legal action against Mr. Cosby because of the statute of limitations, these three courageous women want Mr. Cosby to be accountable for what they say was his misconduct towards them,” Allred said during the press conference, according to the Times.
