Nine more women sue Bill Cosby in Nevada over sexual assault allegations.

Nine women, including Janice Dickinson, have filed a lawsuit against Bill Cosby in Nevada, alleging that he sexually assaulted them between 1979 and 1992. The lawsuit comes after a "lookback law" was signed by the governor, which eliminated the two-year deadline for adults to file sexual abuse cases. Cosby has been accused of sexual abuse by more than 60 women, and was convicted in 2018 on three counts of aggravated indecent assault, but the conviction was thrown out in 2021. Cosby denies wrongdoing.

Bill Cosby faces multiple sexual assault lawsuits.

Actress Victoria Valentino has sued Bill Cosby under a new California law that suspends the statute of limitations on sex abuse claims. She alleges that Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her and another woman at his home in 1969. Cosby has been accused of rape, sexual assault, and sexual harassment by at least 60 women, and has denied all allegations involving sex crimes. Valentino's lawsuit requests a jury trial and seeks unspecified punitive damages.
