Nine more women are accusing Bill Cosby of sexual assault in a new lawsuit, shortly after the state dropped its statute of limitations on such cases.
The lawsuit, filed in Nevada federal court on Wednesday, alleges that the 85-year-old actor and comedian “used his enormous power, fame, and prestige” to isolate and assault them. The women say that Cosby drugged and assaulted them during encounters that took place between 1979 and 1992 in homes, dressing rooms and hotels across Nevada.
The lawsuit comes just two weeks after Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo signed a bill eliminating the two-year deadline for adults to sue their alleged perpetrators for damages from sexual abuse. Cosby faces other sexual assault lawsuits in California, New York and New Jersey, states that have approved similar “lookback laws.
