Five women file new lawsuit accusing Bill Cosby of sexual assault

Suit, filed under New York's new one-year window for adults to file abuse claims, says NBCUniversal was complicit

Five women who have long accused Bill Cosby of sexually assaulting them early in their careers have filed the latest lawsuit against the 85-year-old comedian and this one calls NBCUniversal, a studio, and a production company complicit in the abuse.

The lawsuit comes more than a year after Cosby left prison after his 2018 sexual assault conviction in Pennsylvania was overturned. This year, a Los Angeles jury awarded $500,000 to a woman who said Cosby had sexually abused her at the Playboy Mansion when she was a teenager, in 1975.
