 SAN FRANCISCO — In 1992, I was summoned to the gates of the Playboy Mansion in an impossibly beautiful corner of Los Angeles. 
 
 My finger poked the buzzer on the gate intercom and, after announcing myself, it swung lazily open. 
 
 Two bunnies crossed my path; the animals stopped, wrinkled their noses, and hopped off. As the car made its way up a winding path, a sign warned: "Children X-ing." The party, it seemed, was over. 
 
 Hugh Hefner was 66 then, in hindsight a spry senior citizen about to have his love life turbocharged in six years' time by the advent of Viagra. My visit coincided with the release of a favorable documentary called Hugh Hefner: Once Upon A Time. 
 
 The plan was for me to watch the movie with The Man Called Hef in his fabled screening room, home to many a Mansion movie night but perhaps not much movie-watching. Like clockwork, Hef appeared proffering a hand and a grin, flopped down on a sofa and said "Let's roll it."

 I tried to play it cool, but it was all a bit much. Between the slippers, pajamas and the fabled red silk bathrobe — it was early afternoon, people — and the odd phenomenon of watching a movie about a man while sitting with that man while he's assessing the movie about himself, the experience was this side of surreal. 
 
 After the movie was over, we spoke for a bit about his life and times, which seemed largely to recap the movie I'd just seen. He offered me a soft drink. My visit was proving far tamer than history had advertised. 
 
 What was clear was that this was not party-hound Hef. In 1989, he had shocked everyone by heading to the altar with Kimberley Conrad, who was all of 30. The couple soon had two sons, Cooper and Marston, for whom the cautionary sign had been placed in the driveway. 
 
 But what happened some time after I left the Mansion — a visit that included a tour around the various rooms and grottos that had been home to fabled debauchery but now seemed eerily quiet — was surprising.

 I had recently moved to join USA TODAY's Los Angeles bureau from its Virginia headquarters, and Hefner's PR handler called and invited me back to the Mansion for what can best be described as a salon. 
 
 Why Hefner would want me there, I had no idea; why he wanted to hold a salon made perfect sense. While being a formidable lightning rod for activists who condemned his magazine and lifestyle as inherently exploitative, Hefner nonetheless wasn't one to shy away from a good debate. 
 
 And it was in that spirit that he decided to hold these occasional gatherings to discuss the topics of the day.

 So I attended a few of them, and I'd be lying if I could tell you exactly what we discussed (one session focused on what California Regents should be doing about the soaring costs of public education). 
 
 I would try and just keep up with the conversation, but mostly I was staring over at real guests, such as his pals Smokey Robinson and Robinson's mentor and Motown founder Berry Gordy, wondering, "What am I doing here?" 
 
 Hefner was always gracious during these celebrity-packed kaffeeklatsches, sometimes throwing out a loaded question but mainly enjoying the occasionally heated sparring in his midst.

 Eventually my invitations stopped coming. I didn't know if I'd offended the host with a comment. But I didn't think that was the reason. The man had too thick a skin for that. Mostly, I figured, he just wanted to see new faces light up his room. 
 
 Perhaps family life was getting to him after all, I wondered. Maybe being holed up like a silk-robed Rapunzel in that opulent mansion was getting lonely for a man that had come to epitomize the wild nightlife. 
 
 Not long after, I heard that Conrad had moved out and into a nearby house. In 1998, the couple separated (and much later divorced). The "Children X-ing" sign came down, and the Bunnies returned to the lawn. 
 
 That was a Mansion I never got to see. There was no invite extended for Hef's subsequent party years, which went on, staggeringly, for another two decades. 
 
 That's OK. My memories remain that of a rather quiet man who was curious about others and the world around him. Maybe a man more akin to Hugh Marston Hefner, than to Hef.

 The year was 1955, and science fiction author Charles Beaumont had, by most accounts, crossed the line with his latest short story. 
 
 “The Crooked Man” depicted a dystopian future where homosexuality was the norm, heterosexuality was outlawed and angry anti-straight mobs marched through the street chanting “make our city clean again!” Even the relatively progressive Esquire magazine had rejected the piece because it was too controversial. 
 
 But Beaumont found a fan in a young Hugh Hefner, who agreed to run it in his Playboy magazine, then less than two years old. 
 
 Outraged letters poured in to Playboy. Even readers of the pioneering nude publication found Beaumont’s tale of straight people dressing in drag and sneaking into dark barrooms to find partners too offensive for their tastes. 
 
 Hefner responded to the backlash in a defiant note. “If it was wrong to persecute heterosexuals in a homosexual society,” he wrote, “then the reverse was wrong, too.” 
 
 The move would serve to represent an early example of Hefner’s lifelong commitment to gay rights, and civil rights in general. Hefner, who died Wednesday at 91, prided himself as an advocate for the LGBT community, taking public stands on high-profile issues such as sodomy laws, same-sex marriage and transgender rights well into his later years. 
 
 The anecdote about “The Crooked Man” was little known until 2009 when it was highlighted in “Hugh Hefner: Playboy, Activist and Rebel,” a documentary on Hefner’s civil rights advocacy. The film expounds on Hefner’s efforts to promote black writers and artists, expand reproductive rights and resist racial segregation. Some criticized the documentary for glossing over the more controversial aspects of his legacy, namely drug abuse and sexism, while others dismissed it as a shrewd attempt to remake his image. 
 
 Indeed, Hefner’s life was full of contradictions that are sure to be debated exhaustively in the days and weeks following his death. He portrayed himself and his magazine as defenders of women’s rights, but his critics have called him anything but, pointing to his rotating cast of girlfriends, multiple divorces and general objectification of women in the pages of Playboy (“They are objects,” he once told Vanity Fair). 
 
 A widely publicized memoir by one of his former girlfriends, Holly Madison, described a life of manipulation and constant fighting at the Playboy Mansion. Hefner was also accused last year of paving the way for Bill Cosby to drug and sexually assault a woman at the famed estate in 2008. Hefner denied the allegation. 
 
 Hefner’s contradictions weren’t lost on the Advocate, a gay magazine that published a wide-ranging interview with him in 1994. Hefner told writer Jeff Yarbrough their magazines had a lot in common in the sense that they were both “anti-discrimination.” Yarbrough was caught off guard. 
 
 “What surprises me about that statement is that Playboy and you, of course, are both known as representations of male heterosexuality and, to some degree, the objectification of heterosexual women,” Yarbrough told him. “I’m surprised you recognize the issue of oppression concerning gays and lesbians so clearly at a time when most Americans still don’t.” 
 
 Asked if he considered himself a gay rights activist, Hefner responded that he had been a “human rights activist” from the magazine’s inception. He said he had campaigned against the nation’s sodomy laws, which criminalized certain sexual acts. “If the pursuit of happiness has any meaning at all as it is written in the Constitution, the government’s intruding into one’s bedroom, into personal sexual behaviors, is as unconstitutional as anything can be,” Hefner said. 
 
 The interview also touched on the AIDS crisis, which “profoundly changed Hefner’s life” in the early 1980s, Yarbrough wrote. Hefner fixated on the disease soon after it was identified, he wrote, and used Playboy to keep a spotlight on the epidemic “with articles that examine everything from the disease’s origins to safer sex practices.” 
 
 Hefner told the Advocate: “The only thing ‘wrong’ with AIDS is the way our government responded to it. They are culpable on many, many levels. … I have chosen every aspect of human sexuality — and the discrimination that goes along with some of those aspects — as my major concern. Homosexuality and, later, the homophobia that surrounds the AIDS crisis are part of a much bigger picture for me.” 
 
 Long before Caitlyn Jenner became a household name, Hefner took something of a symbolic stand on transgender rights. In the 1980s, model and actress Caroline “Tula” Cossey was outed as a transgender woman by the tabloid News of the World and subjected to intrusive headlines. Playboy helped her bounce back from the ordeal by publishing a photo series with Cossey, making her the magazine’s first openly transgender model. 
 
 When the magazine reran the spread in 2015, Cossey thanked Hefner by name, saying the exposure helped her show that transgender women can be sexy. “I wanted to fight for the right of recognition,” she told Playboy. “That was my goal, and Playboy was a great platform for that.” 
 
 Hefner came out forcefully in support of same-sex marriage just as a group of marriage equality lawsuits were weaving through the federal court system. In a commentary in the September 2012 issue of Playboy, Hefner, then 86, argued that same-sex marriage was “a fight for all of our rights.” 
 
 “Without it, we will turn back the sexual revolution and return to an earlier, puritanical time,” he wrote. He railed against people trying to “criminalize your entire sex life,” using language that echoed his remarks to the Advocate decades earlier. 
 
 “No one should have to subjugate their religious freedom, and no one should have their personal freedoms infringed,” Hefner wrote. “This is America and we must protect the rights of all Americans.”

 An police officer posted a ‘don’t drink and drive’ video. Then he was involved in a deadly crash. ||||| Bill Cosby is facing damaging new allegations that he drugged and sexually assaulted an 18-year-old girl at the Playboy Mansion just six years ago, MailOnline can reveal. 
 
 Chloe Goins, will make a full statement to police over the attack, a chilling sexual assault she has described to MailOnline. 
 
 The allegation is the latest to hit the comedian, 77, who has seen his reputation as one of America's most significant comedy figures eviscerated in recent weeks. 
 
 He is now facing more than 20 separate allegations of rape or sexual assault – many dating back 30 or 40 years - but until now all appeared to be covered by statutes of limitation. 
 
 The Los Angeles Police Department has opened an inquiry into allegations that the star drugged and raped Judy Huth at the Playboy mansion in 1974 when she was aged just 15, but that had appeared to be covered by the statue. 
 
 Goins, however, says she was attacked in 2008, well inside the statue of limitations in California.

 Ordeal: Chloe Goins has waived her right to anonymity to speak publicly and describe being drugged at a Playboy mansion party. She woke up naked being touched by Bill Cosby, she told MailOnline 
 
 Speaking out: Chloe Goins is the latest woman to speak of being drugged and attacked by Cosby. However her case is so recent that it is not covered by any statutes of limitation, which affects other allegations 
 
 Venue: Cosby has long been a regular at the Playboy Mansion in Beverley Hills, where Hugh Hefner, his longtime friend, has been holding parties since the 1960s 
 
 She claims Cosby spiked her drink with a sedative before luring her to a bedroom in the Playboy mansion where he sexually assaulted her. 
 
 Goins says she wants the star to 'pay' for all the women he has allegedly attacked and is coming forward to bring them justice. 
 
 In California sexual assault carries a maximum 48 months jail sentence, as well as a possible $10,000 fine, depending on mitigating and aggravating factors. 
 
 Goins' lawyer has told MailOnline has already made contact with the LAPD and Goins will likely meet with detectives to give a statement in the coming days. 
 
 Goins, a model and lap dancer originally from San Diego but currently working in Las Vegas, says she felt compelled to come forward to add her voice to the dozens of women who have already made allegations against Cosby, 78. 
 
 She said reading some of the victim's accounts in the media brought back the chilling memories of that night. 
 
 This weekend Cosby broke his silence to say that he wants the 'black media' to 'stay neutral' 
 
 'Let me say this. I only expect the black media to uphold the standards of excellence in journalism and when you do that you have to go in with a neutral mind,' Cosby told Page Six. 
 
 He also praised his wife for her 'love and strength'. 
 
 However he now faces fresh allegations of recent misconduct which are being made to the LAPD. 
 
 Speaking exclusively to MailOnline Goins, now 24, said she was attacked after a girlfriend invited her to one of Hugh Hefner's infamous summer parties in 2008. 
 
 Both were living in Las Vegas at the time and traveled to Los Angeles. 
 
 Friends: Hefner and Cosby have been close since the 1960s but last weekend the Playboy creator issued a statement distancing himself from the comedian, saying of the allegations: 'The mere thought is saddening.' 
 
 She recalls: 'My girlfriend got an invite to a Playboy party and asked me to go with her. I remember being excited about it. 
 
 'We stayed at the W Hotel in Hollywood which is one of my favorites and were both looking forward to the party. We got all dressed up, we were going to the Playboy mansion after all. 
 
 'I was a wearing a cute little red dress and my friend was wearing a strapless tan dress. 
 
 'I remember we got to the house and it was like a bigger party so there was a lot going on, lots of girls wearing not very much. 
 
 'They checked our ID at the door so I knew drinking was off limits.' 
 
 Goins says the party was in full swing when they arrived at the mansion at around 11pm. 
 
 Within a few minutes of walking in they were introduced to Hugh Hefner himself. 
 
 'We were running late but we were quickly introduced to Hef when we got there. It was the first time I had met him, I was excited and all focus was on him. Me and my friend were two cute blondes, he liked us. 
 
 'We were talking to Hef for a while and that's when Bill Cosby walked up. I kind of recognized him from TV, I know he was on a TV show where he played a family guy, but he was a little bit before my time. 
 
 'Hef introduced him as his good friend, they seemed really close. He seemed like a really nice guy, really funny. 
 
 'We were talking, laughing and having fun.' 
 
 Police: Chloe Goins is to make a statement to detectives after her lawyer made contact with the Los Angeles Police Department. She said she feels all the woman affected by Cosby deserve 'justice' 
 
 Under pressure: Cosby has now been accused by 25 women of attacking him. One also alleged that he also attacked 12 Playboy Bunnies who have not come forward in public 
 
 As the conversation began to flow Goins remembers Cosby giving her lots of attention. 
 
 Then when Hef was in the middle of telling a story, Cosby slipped away and came back with two drinks for the girls. 
 
 Goins said: 'He kind of just left and we were talking and he came back with drinks. He gave me a vodka mixer I think. 
 
 'I wasn't really supposed to drink because of my age but I was like, 'okay, cool'. I thought I'd got a drink on the side. 
 
 'I remember the drink being kind of strong but it didn't taste funny or anything like that. 
 
 'I think I finished most of it, I didn't set my glass down I was holding it the whole time.' 
 
 But then out of nowhere Chloe claims she began to feel 'dizzy' and unsteady on her feet. 
 
 'Everything kind of went a little foggy, I started feeling sick to my stomach, and just dizzy,' she said. 
 
 'I started telling my friend and I was like where's the bathroom, but I could tell my friend just wanted to hang out, we were still talking to Hef.' 
 
 At that point Hefner, realizing Goins wasn't feeling well, offered the use of one of his many spare bedrooms so she could lie down. 
 
 Goins said: 'Then Bill offered to show me the room, he said he knew the way. He seemed nice and I don't remember feeling nervous or that it was weird. 
 
 'He had his arm around me to show me the way and I did notice he had been paying me a little more attention than my friend, but never thought anything of it.' 
 
 That was the last thing Goins remembers. She doesn't recall entering the room. 
 
 She claims she woke up completely naked on a bed and alleges Cosby was hunched over her licking her toes. She knew she was still in the Playboy mansion because she could hear music playing. 
 
 Disturbingly, Goins said the then 70-year-old had his trousers around his ankles and was pleasuring himself. 
 
 'I was butt naked lying on my back on a bed and didn't have any idea where I was. 
 
 Attack: The Playboy Mansion is where Chloe Goins alleges she was molested in a bedroom by Cosby. She says she was first handed a drugged drink at a party by the comedian, who she thought was a kindly older man 
 
 Long association: Hefner and Cosby together. However the Playboy creator has distanced himself from his friend 
 
 'I was in a bedroom and presumed it was in the mansion because I could hear music, I don't think it was Hef's room, it was just a nice room. 
 
 'I came to and remember seeing this big man crouched over me. It was Bill Cosby and he was at my feet, kind of licking and kissing them and I think he bit my toe as that's what woke me up. 
 
 'I kind of thank God for that because that's what woke me up and I came to. 
 
 'I was shocked, I said, 'hey, what's going on', he didn't really say anything, didn't explain anything or give a reason. 
 
 'He jumped up, pulled his pants back up quickly and left. He had seen that I was alert and bolted out of there, I was left in the room by myself.' 
 
 Goins said she is sure Cosby had been licking her breasts and groping her body as well. 
 
 She said: 'I remember waking up and feeling moist all over, like he had been licking all over me. 
 
 'He wasn't on my breasts when I woke, but I could feel, you know, the saliva on them and that he'd been licking on me. 
 
 'I felt embarrassed, it was a gross, icky feeling, I felt very violated and humiliated. 
 
 'I was scared, I was just 18 and he was an old man, I was not very sexually experienced and I didn't really know what had happened, it was violating.' 
 
 Party time: Another 2008 party at the mansion, with Hefner posing with female guests 
 
 Goins says she doesn't think she had been raped or molested in any other way, but added: 'I can't be 100% sure what he did to me, I was completely out of it.' 
 
 Goins admits she was in a daze when she came around in the bedroom but says she is sure that the man molesting her was comedy legend Bill Cosby. 
 
 She said she hadn't been drinking that night other than the vodka drink Cosby had given her. 
 
 She also said she had not taken any kind of drugs or medication that night. 
 
 'Someone spiked my drink, I have no doubt about that, it was my first drink of the night,' she said. 
 
 After Cosby left the room Goins picked herself off the bed and got dressed. 
 
 'I found my dress but I couldn't find my panties anywhere, I don't know if he had them or not. 
 
 'I just got out of there as fast as I could and found my girlfriend downstairs. 
 
 'She looked at me and said I didn't seem right so she was like, 'let's go'. I think she could tell something was wrong. 
 
 On the way back to the hotel Chloe confided in her friend and told her what had happened. 
 
 'I told her I was scared and didn't know what to do, I told her I didn't think I had been raped, but what happened to me wasn't right, at the very least he was groping and molesting me. 
 
 'She consoled me and said she felt bad about it, but neither of us thought about telling anyone.' 
 
 Goins said she had always wanted to be a model and singer from a young age and had aspired to appear in Playboy magazine. 
 
 Playboy victim: Former Playboy bunny Carla Ferrigno in circa 1980 in Los Angeles, California, with her husband, actor and bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno. She claims Cosby assaulted her too 
 
 Another Playboy victim: Victoria Valentino, a former Playboy Playmate in 1963, has come out to say Bill Cosby raped her as well. 
 
 'We were young, we wanted to be Playboy models. I was scared about saying anything about what happened, especially as it was at the Playboy mansion because it's known for naughty stuff. 
 
 'I didn't want to get in trouble and maybe ruin my modeling career and nor did my friend as she was getting the invites to the parties. 
 
 'Bill Cosby was on TV and had a family man image, I thought to hurt that, he would come after me, try to ruin me.' 
 
 Unsurprisingly, Goins has never been back to the Playboy mansion since. 
 
 She says the experience changed her view of men and she finds it hard to trust. 
 
 This isn't something I really wanted out there about myself, but I saw all the women who had come forward, over 20 women and it grossed me out. I feel he needs to pay for it, he deserves to pay for it. I don't think he raped me so I am one of the lucky ones, but at the same time it was a f***ed up situation.' Chloe Goins 
 
 Goins said: 'It's definitely messed up my sexuality and how I look at men, I have a very hard time trusting them, so yes it has traumatized me.' 
 
 Goins says she feels strongly that her and other women should have the courage to come forward. 
 
 'I confided in a friend one night and he said I should come forward,' she explained. 
 
 'I never really thought about it before, but I definitely want to give a statement to the police. 
 
 'This isn't something I really wanted out there about myself, but I saw all the women who had come forward, over 20 women and it grossed me out. I feel he needs to pay for it, he deserves to pay for it. 
 
 'Unlike many of those women, I don't think he raped me so I am one of the lucky ones, but at the same time it was a f***ed up situation.' 
 
 The MailOnline has interviewed the friend who was with Goins at the Playboy mansion that night and she has confirmed Goins' version of events. 
 
 The friend has asked not to be identified for this article. She said it was her who had invited Goins to the party in LA as her plus one. 
 
 The friend, who is a few years older than Goins and was also an aspiring model, recalled: 'I had been to the mansion before and I invited Chloe this time. Through my friends we were talking with Hef and that's when Bill Cosby came over. 
 
 'He got us drinks and we were talking away and that's when Chloe started to feel unwell.' 
 
 The friend says Hefner said he had a room which Goins could use to have a lie down. When she agreed to go to the room Cosby piped up and offered to show her where it was. 
 
 The friend said: 'Even though I've been there a few times I don't know the mansion very well, but Bill Cosby seemed like he did. 
 
 'He was being nice, he was very old, I thought he was taking care of her and Hef was good with it so I thought, 'wow, that's nice, he's a big celebrity and he's taking care of my friend'. 
 
 The friend says 45 minutes to an hour passed but she never thought for a second Goins was in danger. 
 
 'When she came back I knew there was something wrong, that's when I got her out of there and she told me what he did to her. 
 
 'I can't say what happened in that room, I wasn't there, but Chloe is a good friend.' 
 
 She added: 'I feel bad about the whole thing, I'm the one who took her there. I feel bad because I didn't take care of her that night.' 
 
 'Bill Cosby has been a good friend for many years and the mere thought of these allegations is truly saddening. I would never tolerate this kind of behavior, regardless of who was involved Hugh Hefner last weekend 
 
 Cosby is currently being investigated by police over rape and drug allegations as one of his 20 accusers filed a police report. 
 
 Two detectives met with Judy Huth who claims the revered entertainer drugged and raped her at Hugh Hefner's mansion in 1974 when she was 15. 
 
 Her accusation prompted Cosby's lawyers to file a lawsuit against Huth branding her a liar. 
 
 But earlier this month the now-55-year-old responded by filing a police report which has sparked an LAPD investigation. 
 
 Huth is not the only accuser to claim she was attacked at the Playboy mansion. 
 
 Then, former Playboy bunny P.J. Masten claimed she was given a drugged drink and raped by Cosby at the Playboy Club in Chicago in 1979. 
 
 Masten said she believes there are other former Bunnies who are too ashamed to come forward with their own stories. 
 
 Earlier this month, Hugh Hefner released a statement about the allegations against Cosby and his personal connection. 
 
 'Bill Cosby has been a good friend for many years and the mere thought of these allegations is truly saddening,' Hefner said. 
 
 'I would never tolerate this kind of behavior, regardless of who was involved.' 
 
 Cosby's lawyer, Marty Singer, did not respond to a request for comment from MailOnline. Playboy did not respond to a request for comment either.

After she failed her test shoots, Hef invited Marquardt to become one of the Girls Next Door, and she did at least end up in a group spread with her co-girlfriends. t.A.T.u.: If you've forgotten who this duo is, just recall 1990s hit "All the Things She Said." They got rejected from not one, but two editions of Playboy, the American one and the German one. LuAnn de Lesseps: She definitely seemed upset when fellow Real Housewife of NYC Kelly Bensimon was asked to pose in the mag, and responded with, "No one asked me!" She later claimed she didn't really want to be in Playboy anyway (and you'll notice she never was). Audrina Patridge: The Hills reality star reportedly had topless pictures taken to submit to Playboy, but got turned down ... and somehow, the photos were "accidentally" leaked.
