Abuse and Sexual Assault case

Lawsuit pending against Cosby as he fights criminal charge

A recap of those cases in which statues of limitations have run their course, no charges were brought and Cosby has denied any wrongdoing:

MASSACHUSETTS

Nine women accuse him of defamation in three separate lawsuits in Massachusetts, where Cosby has a home in Shelburne Falls. The women allege he sexually abused them decades ago then defamed them after they went public with their allegations by allowing his representatives to brand them as liars. The lawsuits seek unspecified damages. Cosby is seeking to have them dismissed.

CALIFORNIA

Father of five in child sex case

The Port Moresby-based soldier has been in court since August 3 last year after he was charged with the persistent child sexual abuse under section 229 of the Criminal Code and Sexual Offenses and Crimes Against Children’s Act.

He last appeared in court on Dec 24, 2015 and the matter was adjourned to today for an expected ruling, however that did not proceed as the magistrate presiding over his case is out of Port Moresby on Court circuit.
