Bill Cosby has postponed his New York tour dates after another woman came forward alleging that she was sexually assaulted by him when she was 15 years old. Cosby had been scheduled to perform at the Tarrytown Music Hall twice this weekend, but the concert venue posted on Facebook that the show was canceled and refunds would be given to patrons.

Cosby recently had shows canceled in Las Vegas and Tucson, Ariz. The Treasure Island casino in Vegas said both parties came to a mutual agreement. Cosby’s tour dates are still listed on his website, and his next performance is scheduled for Jan. 7 in Canada.

In addition to the canceled dates, the U.S. Navy has revoked Cosby’s honorary title because of the recent allegations against him. Cosby spent four years in the Navy and was given the title of honorary chief petty officer in 2011.

"The Navy is taking this action because allegations against Mr. Cosby are very serious and are in conflict with the Navy's core values of honor, courage and commitment," Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus said in a statement.
