New York - A day after Camille Cosby released a statement in defence of her embattled husband, one of the comedian's four daughters is defending him.

Evin Cosby, 38, says Bill Cosby “is the FATHER you thought you knew” in a statement, obtained Tuesday by “Access Hollywood”.

She also defended her father on Facebook, where she wrote “Men and Women need to stand up and say something. There are plenty of them that have experienced being accused of a major crime that they NEVER committed.”

In recent weeks, a different picture of Cosby has emerged as at least 15 women accused him of drugging and sexually assaulting them.

He has never been charged in connection with the accusations. His lawyers have denied many of the allegations.
