Judge Allows Defamation Suit Against Bill Cosby to Move Forward

HeadlineMar 30, 2016

A judge has allowed former supermodel Janice Dickinson to proceed with a defamation case against comedian Bill Cosby. Dickinson accused Cosby of drugging and raping her in 1982. She sued him and his former attorney in May after they publicly denied her account. The judge’s decision clears the way for a trial in the case. More than 50 women have come forward to accuse Cosby of sexual assaults dating back decades. In many cases the statute of limitations has expired, preventing Cosby from being prosecuted.
