Following Bill Cosby’s 3 to 10 years in prison sentence and his early release in 2021, after a Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturn, five women are now suing the 85-year old Actor for sexual assault and abuse under new NY lookback law.
Two former actresses on “The Cosby Show” are among five women accusing Cosby of assault, battery, infliction of emotional distress and false imprisonment and accuses the media companies of negligence dating back decades.
In a statement, Cosby’s spokesman Andrew Wyatt called the lawsuit “frivolous” and denied the allegations. “As we have always stated and now America see [sic] that this isn’t about justice for victims of alleged sexual assault but it’s ALL ABOUT MONEY,” he said
The lawsuit was filed under New York’s Adult Survivors Act, passed last month, which gives adult survivors of sexual abuse a one-year window to sue their abusers even if the statute of limitations on their claims has expired.
