Five women have filled fresh suits against actor, Bill Cosby, on Monday, for sexual assault and abuse which happened decades ago.
According to CNN, two of the women were actresses on ‘The Cosby Show’.
The five women who include: Lili Bernard, Eden Tirl, Jewel Gittens, Jennifer Thompson and Cindra Ladd, accused Cosby of abusing them when they were young in the guise of offering to mentor them.
The women also suied three companies – NBC Universal Media, Kaufman Astoria Studios and the Carsey-Werner Company, which together ran The Cosby Show from 1984 to 1992, for failing to intervene and protect them during that period.
In 2018, Cosby was found guilty on three counts of aggravated indecent assault and sentenced to ten years in prison. He appealed to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, which overturned the decision, resulting in his release in June 2021.
