Bill Cosby Faces New Lawsuit from 9 Women Alleging s**ual Assaults Dating Back Decades

Nine additional women have come forward to accuse Bill Cosby of s**ual assault in a new lawsuit that claims he used his position of power and celebrity status to victimize them.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Nevada on Wednesday, alleges that these women were individually drugged and assaulted between the years of 1979 and 1992.

The incidents took place in various locations, including homes, dressing rooms, and hotels in Las Vegas, Reno, and Lake Tahoe.

One woman claims that Cosby, posing as her acting mentor, enticed her from New York to Nevada, where he drugged her in a hotel room using what he claimed was non-alcoholic sparkling cider.

He then proceeded to rape her.

Cosby, the 85-year-old former star of “The Cosby Show,” has now been accused of rape, s**ual assault, and s**ual harassment by over 60 women.

He has consistently denied all allegations related to s**ual crimes.

Cosby was the first high-profile figure to be tried and convicted during the #MeToo movement.

He served nearly three years in a Pennsylvania state prison before his conviction was overturned and he was released in 2021.

Earlier this year, a Los Angeles jury awarded $500,000 to a woman who stated that Cosby s**ually abused her at the Playboy Mansion when she was 16 years old in 1975.

Several of the women involved in the lawsuit shared details of their allegations with CBS Las Vegas affiliate KLAS.

This lawsuit in Nevada comes shortly after Governor Joe Lombardo signed a bill that eliminated the two-year deadline for adults to file s**ual abuse cases.

Similar legislation has led to other lawsuits being filed under “lookback laws” in different states.

Lise-Lotte Lublin, a Nevada native and one of the plaintiffs, played a role in advocating for this change in the law.

She previously alleged that Cosby provided her with drugged drinks and raped her at a Las Vegas hotel in 1989.

It is important to note that The Associated Press does not disclose the identities of individuals who claim to have been s**ually assaulted unless they choose to come forward publicly.

Lotte-Lublin expressed her thoughts on the matter, stating, “For years, I have fought for survivors of s**ual assault, and today is the first time I will be able to fight for myself.

With the new law change, I now have the ability to take my assailant Bill Cosby to court.

My journey has just begun, but I am grateful for this opportunity to find justice.”

In California, a former Playboy model, who alleges that Cosby drugged and s**ually assaulted her and another woman at his home in 1969, filed a lawsuit against him on June 1 under a recently enacted California law that suspends the statute of limitations on s** abuse claims.

In response to these laws, Cosby's publicist, Andrew Wyatt, issued a statement criticizing their impact.

Wyatt said, “Mr. Cosby is a citizen of the United States, but these judges and lawmakers consistently allow these civil suits to flood their dockets, knowing that these women are not fighting for victims but for their addiction to massive amounts of media attention and greed.”

Wyatt asserted that moving forward, they will no longer permit these women to publicly parade various allegations against Cosby without subjecting them
