Bill Cosby faces 9 new sexual assault lawsuits, and this one is in Nevada. In the U.S. District Court for Nevada, a case was made on behalf of nine women. The women claim that the disgraced actor and comedian used his "enormous power, fame, and prestige" to isolate and sexually assault them.
A claim was filed Wednesday in federal court in Nevada. It says that each of the women was drugged and assaulted between 1979 and 1992 in homes, dressing rooms, and hotels in Las Vegas, Reno, and Lake Tahoe.
Bill Cosby Faces 9 New Sexual Assault Lawsuits
Bill Cosby sued by 9 more women for alleged decades-old sexual assaults
In a new lawsuit, nine women accuse the actor and comedian Bill Cosby of sexually assaulting them. They say he “used his enormous power, fame, and prestige, and claimed interest in helping them and/or their careers, as a pretense to isolate and sexually assault them.”
The lawsuit was filed on Wednesday in US district court for Nevada, a few weeks after Nevada's Republican governor, Joe Lombardo, passed a "lookback law" that removed a two-year deadline for adults to file sexual abuse cases.
Each of the plaintiffs - Janice Dickinson, Lise Lotte-Lublin, Janice Baker Kinney, Lili Bernard, Heidi Thomas, Linda Kirkpatrick, Rebecca Cooper, Pam Joy Abeyta, and Angela Leslie says that Cosby drugged and attacked them between 1979 and 1992 in homes, dressing rooms, and hotels in Las Vegas, Reno, and Lake Tahoe.
The case was filed just two weeks after Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo signed a bill that got rid of the two-year deadline for adults who say they were sexually abused to sue for damages. Cosby is also being sued for sexual assault in California, New York, and New Jersey, all of which have similar "lookback laws." Cosby is now 85 years old, and more than 60 women have accused him of sexual abuse, from touching to rape.
Bill Cosby is an American comedian, actor, and producer who gained significant fame and success throughout his career. He was best known for his role as Cliff Huxtable on the popular sitcom "The Cosby Show," which aired from 1984 to 1992. Cosby's comedy routines often revolved around family life and his observations on various topics.
However, in recent years, Cosby has faced numerous allegations of sexual misconduct and assault. The allegations began to surface publicly in 2005 when Andrea Constand, a former Temple University employee, accused Cosby of drugging and sexually assaulting her at his home in Pennsylvania. Similar allegations from other women soon followed, dating back to the 1960s.
In 2015, Cosby was charged with three counts of aggravated indecent assault in connection with the 2004 incident involving Constand. The case went to trial in 2017, and Cosby was initially declared a mistrial when the jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict.
In April 2018, Cosby was found guilty of sexual assault in the state of Pennsylvania. But in 2021, after almost three years behind bars, the actor was let out of jail because the state Supreme Court overturned the conviction. The actor, who is now 85, has talked about putting together a comedy show.
Conclusion
In a new lawsuit, nine more women say that Bill Cosby sexually assaulted them. This comes soon after the state stopped putting a time limit on these kinds of cases.
The case, which was filed in federal court in Nevada on Wednesday, says that the actor and comedian, who is 85 years old, "used his enormous power, fame, and prestige" to make them feel alone and attack them. The women say that they met Cosby in houses, dressing rooms, and hotels in Nevada between 1979 and 1992. During those meetings, they say, Cosby gave them drugs and hurt them.
