Jewel Allison is the latest in a line of women to come forward, claiming that the comedian spiked her glass of wine during a dinner at his Philadelphia home in the late Eighties before forcing her to touch his genitals.
The revelation comes as another alleged victim of Cosby announced plans to mount a class action lawsuit against the star with at least nine other women.
Speaking about the alleged assault to the New York Daily News, Ms Allison said: 'We may be looking at America's greatest serial rapist that ever got away with this for the longest amount of time.
'He got away with it because he was hiding behind the image of Cliff Huxtable.'
The woman, from Brooklyn, said she was introduced to Cosby by her agent, Sue Charney, who discovered model Janice Dickinson - another of the comedian's accusers.
Cosby, now 77, was hosting a dinner at his house and Ms Charney told Ms Allison she should go.

She recalled Cosby pouring her a glass of vintage wine which did not taste right.
She suddenly felt woozy and sat down on a couch, but Cosby lifted her up and led her to another room, she said.
Ms Allison claimed Cosby grabbed her hand and placed it on his genitals.
'That was my sexual assault by this comedian,' she told the Daily News. 'He turned me around and said, "Let's get you home".
At the door, he gave me a very hard embrace and a hard kiss.' She remembers vomiting in the back seat of a cab on the way home. Cosby invited her over again but she declined.
Cosby's lawyer Martin Singer has said branded the stories 'completely illogical' and added that the claims are 'increasingly ridiculous' and 'passed the point of absurdity'.
In a statement released on Friday, he said: 'The new, never-before-heard claims from women who have come forward in the past two weeks with unsubstantiated, fantastical stories about things they say occurred 30, 40, or even 50 years ago have escalated far past the point of absurdity.
'These brand new claims about alleged decades-old events are becoming increasingly ridiculous, and it is completely illogical that so many people would have said nothing, done nothing, and made no reports to law enforcement or asserted civil claims if they thought they had been assaulted over a span of so many years.'
Cosby himself has refused to respond and said the claims are 'innuendo'.
