Bill Cosby, the comedian once celebrated as America's Dad, is now the subject of another civil lawsuit alleging sexual battery. Donna Motsinger, a resident of New Mexico, has come forward with claims that Cosby drugged and raped her over five decades ago when she worked as a waitress at a Bay Area restaurant.

In the 11-page complaint filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Motsinger detailed her encounter with Cosby in 1972. According to her account, she met Cosby at The Trident in Sausalito, a restaurant where he was a regular patron. Afterward, Cosby allegedly followed Motsinger to her home in Mill Valley and invited her to his stand-up show at the Circle Star Theater in San Carlos, where he was recording what would become the LP Inside the Mind of Bill Cosby.

The lawsuit states that Cosby picked up Motsinger in a limousine and gave her a glass of wine during the ride. At the theater, Motsinger began to feel ill, and Cosby purportedly provided her with what she believed was an aspirin. Her recollection goes on to describe her drifting in and out of consciousness while two men attending to Cosby placed her in the limousine with him. Motsinger woke up at her house with all her clothes removed except her underwear.

This latest civil suit adds to the significant legal challenges that Bill Cosby has faced in recent years. Triggered by a viral stand-up routine by comedian Hannibal Buress in 2014, numerous women have accused Cosby of rape, sexual battery, or misconduct. In 2018, he was convicted of the 2004 rape of Andrea Constand, a former Temple University athletics administrator. However, his conviction was later overturned by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in June 2021, leading to his release from prison.

Aside from legal consequences, Cosby has also faced professional fallout. He was removed from the TV Academy Hall of Fame, lost prestigious honours such as the Kennedy Center Honor and Mark Twain Comedy Prize, and became the first individual in Yale University's 300-year history to have an honorary degree revoked.

In addition to Bill Cosby, the lawsuit names production company Jemmin Inc., the now-dissolved MCA Inc., and Circle Star Theater Corp. as defendants. Attorneys representing Donna Motsinger are seeking unspecified damages, alleging that these organisations facilitated Cosby's fame and, in doing so, neglected the safety of their female guests by turning a blind eye to his alleged sexual assaults.

Bill Cosby faces new civil suit alleging sexual battery dating back to 1972

Nine women have filed a lawsuit in Nevada accusing comedian Bill Cosby of sexual assault, the latest in a long series of misconduct allegations against the once-beloved entertainer.

The alleged assaults took place between 1979 and 1992 at various locations in Nevada, including in Cosby's backstage dressing room and his Las Vegas hotel suite, according to the lawsuit, which was filed on Wednesday in federal court in Nevada.

The complaint arrived just weeks after the state enacted a "lookback" law eliminating a two-year window for sexual assault victims to bring civil claims, following the lead of several other states.

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-_0-years-of-jurassic-park-how-steven-spielbergs-blockbuster-inspired-a-generation-of-palaeontologists-605413">30 years of Jurassic Park: How Steven Spielberg's blockbuster Inspired a generation of palaeontologists</a>

More than 60 women have levelled accusations stretching back decades against Cosby, who was once known as "America's Dad" for his role in the 1980s television comedy The Cosby Show.

Now 85, Cosby was the first celebrity to be convicted in the #MeToo era, when a Pennsylvania jury found him guilty in 2018 of sexually assaulting Andrea Constand, an employee at his alma mater Temple University in Philadelphia, in 2004.

He spent three years in a Pennsylvania prison before the state's Supreme Court threw out his case in 2021, ruling that he should not have faced charges after striking a non-prosecution deal with a previous district attorney years earlier.

In a statement, Cosby's spokesperson, Andrew Wyatt, criticized "lookback" laws and said his accusers "are not fighting for victims - but for their addiction to massive amounts of media attention and greed."

The Nevada lawsuit accuses Cosby of drugging each victim with drinks or pills before assaulting them, a pattern that matches allegations from other women, including Constand.

Cosby faces other legal claims as well. A former Playboy model sued him this month, alleging he assaulted her in 1969. The plaintiff is taking advantage of a California law that lifted the statute of limitations on such claims.

Lili Bernard, one of the plaintiffs in Nevada, has separately sued Cosby in New Jersey for an alleged assault in 1990 under a similar law.

Last year, a California jury found that Cosby sexually assaulted teenager Judy Huth at the Playboy Mansion in 1975 and ordered him to pay her $500,000.

Bill Cosby sued for sexual assault by nine women in Nevada

Victoria Valentino, an 80-year-old former Playboy model, has filed a lawsuit against comedian and actor Bill Cosby. She has alleged&nbsp;that he drugged and sexually assaulted her and one more woman at his home in 1969. This lawsuit has been made possible thanks to a new California law that suspends the statute of limitations on sex abuse claims, giving victims like Valentino the opportunity to seek justice long after the alleged incidents occurred. At the time of the alleged assault, Valentino was working as an actress and singer, and she claims that Cosby approached her at a Los Angeles café where she was mourning the death of her six-year-old son.

According to the court documents, Cosby offered to pay for a spa treatment for Valentino and a friend and later arranged for a chauffeured car to pick them up for dinner. It was during this evening at a steakhouse that Cosby allegedly gave both women a pill, claiming it would make them feel better. The lawsuit asserts that Cosby then drove them to his house, where Valentino eventually passed out on a couch. Upon regaining consciousness, she alleges witnessing Cosby sexually assaulting her unnamed friend. Furthermore, the court filings claim that Cosby engaged in forced sexual intercourse with Valentino while she was incapacitated by the effects of the drug.

<h2>The latest in similar lawsuits by Bill Cosby accusers</h2>

Valentino's lawsuit is the latest in a series of legal actions taken by women who have accused Cosby of sexual misconduct. Last year, six Cosby accusers in New York filed lawsuits under a similar "lookback" law, which allows adults to bring forth sexual abuse claims that had previously been barred by the statute of limitations. Throughout these legal battles, Cosby, who gained fame through his role on The Cosby Show, has consistently denied all allegations of rape, sexual assault, and sexual harassment made against him by at least 60 women.

<h2>Bill Cosby's response</h2>

In response to Valentino's lawsuit, Cosby's spokesperson, Andrew Wyatt, dismissed the claims, stating that they lack evidence and facts. Wyatt also criticised the use of lookback laws, arguing that they violate constitutional rights intended to protect both crime victims and those accused of crimes. He raised concerns about the challenge of gathering witnesses to testify on Cosby's behalf, suggesting that this could be a deliberate attempt to hinder the achievements of Black men in America, referencing Cosby's success and the American Dream he embodied.

It is worth noting that Bill Cosby's 2018 sexual assault conviction was overturned by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, leading to his release from prison in 2021. The court found that Cosby had given self-incriminating testimony during a deposition, mistakenly believing he had immunity from prosecution. This decision came after Cosby had spent nearly three years in a state prison near Philadelphia, becoming the first high-profile figure to be tried and convicted in the #MeToo era.
