TL;DR Summary

Nine women have filed a lawsuit in Nevada federal court accusing Bill Cosby of using his power, fame, and prestige to sexually assault them between 1979 and 1992. The lawsuit comes after Nevada dropped its statute of limitations on such cases. Among the plaintiffs is former model and reality TV star Janice Dickinson, who testified against Cosby in his 2018 criminal trial. Cosby's publicist has denied the allegations, stating that the plaintiffs are "monetizing false allegations." Cosby has faced over 60 accusations of rape, sexual assault, and harassment, which he denies.
