Bill Cosby drops remainder of federal suit against accuser

• Bookmarks: 8


Those remaining claims were dropped in a two-page notice filed in United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on Thursday, according to online court documents.

Cosby, 78, faces accusations of sexual assault by more than 50 women. He has denied having non-consensual sex with any of them.

Constand’s allegations that he drugged and assaulted her at his Pennsylvania home in 2004 are the basis for the only criminal case against him so far. Most of the other alleged assaults occurred too long ago for the cases to be prosecuted.

The 2006 agreement stemmed from a lawsuit Constand filed against Cosby in 2005 over the alleged assault and a separate legal action she took against the National Enquirer for defamation.
