Bill Cosby's 35 Alleged Victims Pose for New York Magazine Cover

In a cover as powerful and shocking as the scandal, New York Magazine's July 27 - Aug. 9 issue pictures 35 of Bill Cosby's alleged sexual assault victims.

Each one of the women is photographed, sitting in a chair with a somber expression. Next to the 35th woman is a vacant seat, suggesting a call to action for other alleged victims to break their silence.

The publication took to Twitter to launch its latest issue, which may have caused the website to become temporarily unavailable amidst hacking rumors.

However, the cover story, which took six months to produce, is now available and can be read online at The Cut, where the landing page exclaims the full title of the story in a large banner: "I'm No Longer Afraid: 35 Women Tell Their Stories About Being Sexually Assaulted by Bill Cosby and the Culture That Wouldn't Listen."

Over the years, people have heard the allegations from women slowly coming forward to accuse the man we know as Bill Cosby. Now, in the powerful portfolio written by Noreen Malone and photographed by Amanda Demme, readers can find curated testimonials and photographs of the women who are courageous enough.

"Each story is awful in its own right. But the horror is multiplied by the sheer volume of seeing them together, reading them together, considering their shared experience," Malone writes. "The women have found solace in their number... discovering that they hadn't been alone... It is 'a sorrowful sisterhood.'"

Malone also writes that many of the victims decided to take part in the piece after finding out more and more women were willing to share their stories.

The women range in age from 20s to 80s, many of which were teenagers at the time of their attack. The article begins with the back story behind the scandal and then goes into the chilling firsthand account of each victim's encounter with Cosby.

The actor and comedian first came under fire when he was accused in 2005 for drugging and groping former Temple University athlete Andrea Constand, who had met Cosby through her school. Her accusations were called "preposterous" and "bizarre," according to his lawyers.

It was not until later that year when Tamara Green, a California lawyer, appeared on the Today Show and accused Cosby of committing the same act in 1970. Following that 12 more, Jane Doe accused of Cosby of similar acts.

Most recently, court documents have been released from Constand's lawsuit against Cosby, in which Cosby does in fact admit to giving her the sedative, Quaaludes, and then having intercourse with her. He has admitted to obtaining the Quaaludes from a Los Angeles based gynecologist.
